Gopher Stop

You probably have fewer gophers than you think...
---
A question we hear constantly:

"How many gophers do I actually have?"

A lot of homeowners assume every fresh mound means another gopher, but that’s usually not how it works.

In this Riverside yard:
- multiple fresh mounds
- digging in separate spots
- activity spread several feet apart
..but after checking the traps a few days later, there was only ONE active gopher.

Experienced gopher control is often about understanding tunnel patterns and activity behavior — not just counting mounds.

Have you ever found dirt packed inside your sprinkler valve box like this before?

Gophers will follow irrigation and sprinkler lines underground because they lead them directly to healthy, watered grass and plants.

In this Temecula yard, the gophers packed an entire sprinkler valve box with dirt from their tunnel system.

If you notice:

- dirt inside sprinkler valve boxes
- random sprinkler problems
- fresh gopher mounds in a line

gophers may already be tunneling along your irrigation lines.

Artificial turf doesn’t stop gophers - it sweeps the problem under the rug.

In Temecula, Murrieta and Riverside, we see this a lot where turf starts feeling uneven or soft due to tunneling underneath.

If your turf has gopher mounds around the edges and doesn’t feel solid anymore, there is already an active gopher below the surface.
