Why Escondido Homeowners Need Gopher Control
Unlike rats, gophers don’t infest homes or spread diseases. However, they do threaten your land and the safety of those on your property. It’s common for a gopher to stop burrowing long enough to poke its head through the soil. This creates a hole in your yard. That hole destroys your garden and other landscaping while also posing a trip and fall hazard.
Over time, those gopher holes will multiply. In addition to creating visible damage, gophers also damage underground utility equipment. The high cost of repairing underground cables, plumbing lines, and other equipment is another reason to deal with a gopher problem quickly and effectively.
Here’s a short list of the consequences or damage that gopher activity can leave behind:
- Damage to foliage and landscaping
- Irrigation problems due to advanced soil erosion
- Other pest infestations, such as ticks and fleas
- Structural damage around your property
- Tree root damage
Getting rid of gophers isn’t an easy task. These pests are especially smart and clever, learning how to avoid poison and traps within a short time. After several unsuccessful attempts, homeowners usually ask Corky’s Pest Control for professional help. We’ll provide gopher removal treatments that offer effective, lasting results.
How Corky’s Handles Gopher Removal
There are 41 known types of gophers in North and Central America. Our customized approach starts by identifying the type of gophers infesting your property. By visiting your property and evaluating the damage, we can pinpoint the species of gopher living on your property. We’ll use this information to create a removal plan for you.
Our treatments for gopher control in Escondido differ based on each customer’s unique situation. This often means using types of equipment and practices that we might not use on another homeowner’s property.
On some properties, we’ll place traps and baiting stations at strategic points in the yard. After we capture the gophers, we’ll safely release them in the wild. This offers a humane solution that eliminates the present problem.
We also have the option to apply topical repellants that we can spread on your lawn. These granules have an odor and taste that gophers find unpleasant. In most cases, the smell of the granules is enough to keep gophers away.
Our Gopher Maintenance Reduces the Risks of Future Problems
Our gopher control services include routine monitoring for recurrences. Even after taking preventive measures, gophers might return and linger near your property lines. Our ongoing maintenance services provide long-term protection to address any concerns about gophers you may face in the future.
When you subscribe to our maintenance plan, we’ll conduct regular inspections of your yard. We’ll look for holes and other signs of gopher activity. If we find indications that gophers have inhabited your property, we’ll use effective treatments to remove the gophers right away. This maintenance service also includes refreshing the topical repellent during each visit.
Help Us Treat Your Gopher Problem With These Steps
There are things you can do to limit the damage gophers cause to your property. These tips can help you mitigate your gopher problem until we arrive to provide a professional assessment.
- Keep your lawn cut short
- Avoid growing dense foliage
- Reduce lawn watering except when it’s essential
- Replace garden plants with ones that gophers don’t eat
Using these tips will make your property less hospitable for gophers and other pests. A less attractive area will keep more gophers away, minimizing the risk of repeat infestations.
Know How to Keep Gophers Away From Your Property
There are additional steps you can take to protect against gopher activity on your property. These steps often involve changing how you manage your property to make it less attractive to burrowing animals.
Install a gopher mesh barrier around your property. If you can’t find gopher mesh, chicken wire is a good substitute. When installing the barrier, position it from one foot below ground to two feet above ground. You can also use gopher mesh barriers around vegetable or flower gardens.
Know which types of plants you can safely add to your garden. For example, gophers don’t eat daffodils, garlic, or onion plants.
You can also use plants that actively repel gophers. These plants include:
- Crown imperials
- Lavender
- Marigolds
- Oleander
- Rosemary
Place these plants strategically throughout your yard. You can surround other plants with these natural repellents to help protect them from gopher activity.
Another trick is to drop dryer sheets into gopher holes. The strong scent of the dryer sheets will irritate the senses of the gophers and help chase these pests away. Coffee grounds and castor oil mixed with water have similar effects on gophers.
