Signs and Risks of Gopher Infestations in Reno
Identifying gopher activity early is the most effective way to prevent extensive damage to your property. Unlike other pests, gophers leave very distinct physical markers on the surface of your lawn, but the most significant threats often remain hidden beneath the soil until structural failure occurs.
- Crescent-Shaped Mounds: Gophers push soil to the surface in a fan or horseshoe shape, usually plugging the exit hole with a distinct dirt cap.
- Destroyed Vegetation: You may notice plants suddenly wilting or even being pulled downward into the earth as gophers consume the root systems.
- Soft Ground Patches: Active tunneling causes the soil to lose its integrity, creating areas that feel spongy or collapse when stepped upon.
- Damaged Utilities: These rodents have a biological need to gnaw, frequently targeting plastic irrigation lines, sprinkler systems, and even underground cables.
- Plant Death: Gophers often strip the bark from the roots of shrubs and trees, leading to the slow death of established landscaping features.
Once these signs are present, the infestation is likely already widespread. Addressing the problem quickly is essential because a single gopher can create dozens of mounds in a single month. Proper management focuses on interrupting their breeding cycle and securing the perimeter of your property to prevent future invasions.

Customers Who’ve Experienced the Natural Difference
Why Do You Need Professional Service
Attempting to manage gophers with home remedies like flooding tunnels or using ultrasonic stakes rarely produces lasting results. These pests are highly adapted to their subterranean environment and will simply move to another part of your property. Professional intervention ensures the entire colony is addressed correctly and permanently.
Gophers pose more than just an aesthetic problem; they are potential carriers of diseases and parasites like ticks or fleas. Handling traps or toxic baits without professional training can lead to accidental exposure for family members or pets. Experts use secure, targeted methods that isolate the treatment from the surface.
Investing in professional care saves Reno homeowners significant money over time by preventing the destruction of expensive landscaping and hardscaping. A trained technician can identify the difference between gopher and mole activity, ensuring the right treatment is applied immediately. This prevents the frustration of repeated, failed DIY attempts.

FAQs About Gopher Control
Are your gopher treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Yes, we design our service around your family’s safety. We use organic products inside your home or business and carefully selected organic blended synthetics outside. Our technicians explain where and how treatments are applied, and we share any short-term precautions so you can feel comfortable.
How quickly can you come out for gopher problems?
We work to schedule visits as quickly as possible, and in many cases, we can offer same-day or emergency appointments in this area. Exact timing depends on your location and our route for the day, but our office will discuss options with you during your first call.
What happens if gophers come back after treatment?
If gophers return between scheduled seasonal visits, we provide complimentary re-treatments as part of our service policy. Our team can also reassess your property and adjust the plan. Soil type, nearby open space, and neighboring yards can all influence how often gophers try to move back in.
How should I prepare my yard before your visit?
Preparation is usually simple. We ask that you unlock gates, secure pets, and clear toys or outdoor items away from obvious gopher mounds. If we need anything more specific, our team will explain it during scheduling, and we are happy to answer questions in English or Spanish.
Can you handle other pests along with gophers?
Yes, we manage many common pests in addition to gophers, including insects like ants, spiders, cockroaches, and wasps, as well as other rodents. We can talk about a tailored service plan that covers your gopher issues and broader pest concerns, so your property care is coordinated and convenient.
