About This Service
Gopher Control in San Diego, CA
San Diego's canyon-laced neighborhoods and landscaped slopes are prime pocket gopher habitat, and our mild climate keeps them digging year-round. A single gopher can throw up dozens of mounds, sever drip lines, girdle roots, and destabilize slopes, and because gophers are territorial, clearing one often just opens the burrow system for the next. Effective control means treating the burrow network, not the mound. We provide targeted gopher and ground squirrel programs for homes across San Diego County, with special focus on canyon-adjacent and slope properties.
Schedule a Free Inspection →Burrow Inspection & Mapping
We probe fresh mounds to locate active tunnel runs, so treatment goes where the gopher actually is.
Targeted Trapping Programs
Traps placed directly in active runs, the most reliable method for individual gophers, with follow-up checks.
Burrow Treatment
Where trapping alone isn't enough, we apply burrow treatments according to their labels for larger or persistent infestations.
Ground Squirrel Control
Burrow treatment and harborage reduction for ground squirrels on slopes, embankments, and larger lots.

Gopher Control FAQ
In San Diego it's almost always pocket gophers; moles are rare here. Gopher mounds are crescent- or fan-shaped with a plugged hole to one side; mole hills are round volcanoes. Send us a photo if you're unsure and we'll identify it.
Individual gophers are typically resolved within 1–2 weeks of trapping and follow-up. Larger properties or slope infestations with multiple animals can take several visits. We keep working until activity stops.
We select methods with pets in mind, trapping in below-ground runs is our first line, and any products we use are applied inside burrows according to their EPA labels. Your technician will walk you through property-specific precautions.
Vacant burrow systems get re-occupied by neighboring gophers, especially on canyon and slope properties. For high-pressure locations we recommend ongoing monitoring as part of a recurring service plan.
