How Professional Gopher Extermination Works
Tunnel location. A pocket gopher creates a main runway 6-18 inches underground with lateral tunnels branching upward. The gopher travels the main runway constantly but uses lateral tunnels infrequently. Professional gopher extermination begins with probing the soil to locate the main runway — this is the step that determines whether extermination succeeds or fails.
Treatment. Traps are placed directly in the main runway, or carbon monoxide is applied to fill the entire tunnel system. Both methods work underground — nothing is left on the surface of your yard.
Follow-up and confirmation. We return to check results, confirm the gopher has been eliminated, and retreat if needed. This follow-up is included in every service and backed by a 60-day guarantee.
Gopher Extermination Methods
Trapping. Professional traps placed in the main tunnel runway intercept the gopher on its regular travel path. Results are confirmed — you know the gopher is gone.
Carbon monoxide. CO injected into active tunnel systems fills the entire underground network. Particularly effective for large or complex tunnel systems. CO dissipates naturally — no surface residue.
Rodenticide bait. Used by most general pest control companies but not by Rodent Guys. Bait produces uncertain results and poisons pets and wildlife. See our methods comparison.
Year-Round Gopher Extermination in Southern California
Southern California temperatures rarely drop low enough to suppress gopher tunneling. Gopher mounds can appear in January just as easily as in July. Properties near open space, parks, and golf courses face the most persistent pressure — after extermination eliminates the resident gopher, neighboring gophers can colonize the vacated territory. Many homeowners choose monthly maintenance plans rather than repeated initial treatments.
