GOPHER & MOLE REMOVAL

At Versa-Tech Pest Management, Inc., we understand how destructive burrowing pests like gophers and moles can be to your landscape. Based right here in San Dimas, California, our highly skilled and dedicated team of licensed pest professionals specialize in identifying, treating, and preventing gopher and mole infestations using proven methods tailored to your property’s unique needs.

Understanding Gopher Behavior & Why Gophers & Moles are a Problem

Gophers are small, burrowing rodents that spend most of their lives underground. While they’re rarely seen above the surface, the damage they cause is highly visible.

• SoCal Gophers feed on roots, bulbs, and plants, leaving lawns, gardens, and orchards devastated.

• Their tunneling can undermine soil structure, damage irrigation lines, and create hazards for pets, livestock, and equipment.

• A single gopher can dig hundreds of feet of tunnels, often resulting in numerous fresh soil mounds across your yard.

Recognizing the signs early is key to preventing extensive damage.

Our Gopher Removal Methods

1. Gopher Trapping

Trapping is one of the most reliable methods of gopher control. Our technicians strategically set traps within active tunnels to quickly eliminate the target pest. This method is chemical-free, environmentally friendly, and ideal for residential yards or sensitive areas.

2. Gopher Baiting

When populations are larger or spread over bigger areas, baiting may be the most efficient solution. Using professionally applied baits, we target gophers within their underground systems. This method requires expert placement and monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. Over recent years, the state of Califonia has passed The Poison-Free Wildlife Act (AB2552), Califonia Ecosystems Protection Act (AB1322) and AB1788 all of these laws combined to eliminate the use of any commercial grade restricted gopher baits for use or sale in the state.

NOTICE: Versa-Tech is a rare company that has obtained a Restricted Use Permit (RUP) and we are trained and licensed in California to use Strychnine Alkaloid Gopher Bait called Omega Gopher Gain Bait. This means that Versa-Tech is one of the few Southern California pest control companies who can offer effective and consistent professional gopher control solutions.

3. Gopher Carbon Monoxide (CO₂) Injection Service

Our CO₂ treatment is a modern, highly effective solution. By introducing carbon monoxide into the tunnel system, we can quickly and humanely eliminate gophers without leaving behind toxic residues. This is especially useful in commercial or large-scale infestations.
