They are smaller than other gophers and tend to build tunnels and burrows for a population of up to 100 gophers during breeding season. Although you may have moles infesting your yard, gophers can be recognized with specific details about their holes and the happenings in your lawn.
Identify a gopher by observing the holes in your yard. Is there a fresh dirt pile in a fan-shape about 3inches wide? Most likely pocket gophers. Do you notice issues in your sprinkler lines or irrigation? Probably gophers. Is your garden being eaten and your plants dying? Gophers live off of vegetation and is one of the main reasons they may be choosing your lawn to dig their tunnel system.
Out of any other outdoor rodents, gophers pose a threat to your landscaping, especially if you are a farmer or a garden hobbyist. Don’t wait until the gophers have established a home under your lawn, although they are solitary rodents, you can see them multiply during breeding season, which only makes it harder to control. If you notice burrowing holes in your yard and your plants being eaten, call Eliminate Weed Control for gopher control services.
For a humane way of gopher control, Eliminate Weed Control can rid the rodents through trapping and removal methods. Common traps are pincher and box traps and are placed near or inside the gopher holes. Once they are caught our pest control specialists will transport them to a far away area or drop them off with wildlife professionals in the area.
There are various mesh barriers that can be used to prevent gophers from attacking your garden. They can be placed above and underground to keep gophers from entering your lawn. Depending on the size of your yard, farm, or garden, they may not always be the best solution. However if you give Eliminate Weed Control a call we will evaluate your lawn and the size of the gopher infestation and provide solutions and tools with our gopher control services.
Other ways to prevent gophers on your own include setting up windchimes around your lawn or other noise makers. Gophers despise loud noises and tend to avoid those areas. They also do not like pungent smells so adding coffee grounds to your soil or throwing dryer sheets into tunnel holes can help ward off the onset of gophers.
Another way you can trap gophers is through baiting. Foods they love such as carrots, apples, and even peanut butter will induce the gophers to come out of their tunnels. Pest professionals can bait them into live traps for removal, or eradicate them with chemicals. There are certain toxic pellets that can be used as bait as well. Usage of carbon monoxide treatments can be safer if there are children or pets in the area. Placed underground, carbon monoxide depletes the oxygen in their bodies for an effective way of gopher control.
