About Our Gopher Removal Services
Gophers may seem unassuming, but they actually wreak havoc on your yard by destroying your grass, flower beds, vegetable gardens, and any other plants. They can also damage sprinkler systems and utility lines, leaving you with an expensive repair bill. Their tunnels can reach six feet deep, making it impossible to effectively treat gophers on your own. That's where we come in! Our gopher control experts are here to safely and efficiently eliminate gophers from your property by creating a treatment plan unique to you, saving your yard from further damage.
Do I have Gophers in My Yard?
Gophers spend most of their time in underground tunnels, so it's unlikely you'll actually spot one in your yard. Unlike moles, gophers don't leave behind ridges or raised tunnels, so the best way to tell if you have gophers is to look for fan-shaped mounds of dirt that are created as they push dirt out of their tunnels.
Another indication of a gopher problem is damaged vegetation, especially damage that is sudden and unexplained. Gophers typically feed on within their tunnels, either by eating plants from the roots up or pulling them down underground, causing vegetation to seemingly vanish.
What Attracts Gophers to My Yard?
To put it simply, gophers are attracted to nice-looking yards. When your yard looks nice, that means there's plenty of healthy vegetation for these herbivores to eat, making them more likely to stick around. Other factors that attract gophers include:
- Moist soil with a high concentration of clay allows gophers to construct their tunnels without them caving in.
- Plants such as grass, dandelions, carrots, potatoes, radishes, tulips, and any accessible roots.
- Your geographical location, as gophers live primarily in the midwest and western states.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have gophers?
Look for fan-shaped or crescent mounds of fresh soil in your yard, along with damaged plants and shallow tunnels. Gophers feed on roots and can quickly harm a lawn or garden if they are left alone.
Why hire a professional for gophers?
Gophers are persistent and often move in from neighboring yards. Our technicians locate the active tunnels and treat them effectively, which is more reliable than store-bought traps or repellents.
Will the gophers come back?
New gophers can move in from surrounding areas, so ongoing monitoring helps. We can set up a plan that keeps your yard protected through the season.

I have used Western a number of times now and usually Scott Carroll is my technician. He does a fabulous job and helped me with a horrible clover mite problem that was brought about by a house plant. He was always courteous, professional and thorough. I have used a lot of pest companies in the area and Western is my favorite by far.
He did an excellent job as always. See you at the next appointment.
Loved Western Pest. Very responsive and on time. Explained my service and Jared was very professional
They perform a general pest control. They always ask if there is any special problem that they can address. We've used them for over 8 years and they are professional, friendly, on time and generally...a great company!!!
Brennan did excellent service today, very impressed with his work ethic.
Alex called ahead and showed up promptly. Very courteous and professional. Keep up the good work, Alex. My phone and text interactions with the office has also been positive.
I've never worked with a company that is so focused on their costumers and their needs. Kyle, my technician, was very pleasant to work with and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company!!!
I love Western pest control they go above and beyond every time. I have had a little struggle with some small ants and they have come out twice to address them above and beyond their usual spray. So much appreciated and always a good job.
Moses was quick, knowledgeable, very professional and kind! Very happy with western pest control and would highly recommend their seamless process
Kyle great.....Western always calls and always on time!!
Scott arrived fast, was kind and professional. Did a wonderful job for a great price.
My wife and I have enjoyed having Western Pest Control spraying our house. We have been using them for 5 years now. Our technician Ronald Hutchison was so very helpful. We were able to explain to him we were not home (doorbell camera) and we have dogs in the backyard where he would be spraying. He gave us comfort explaining he is a dog person, and he would keep them safe while he was there. He went the extra mile and used the gates on the both sides of the house. Thank you Ronald!
