Gopher Problems Near the Claremont Colleges campus

Why Claremont properties near the Claremont Colleges campus experience higher gopher activity.

Properties near the Claremont Colleges campus in Claremont consistently experience above-average gopher pressure. Proximity to open space means gophers move freely between undisturbed land and maintained yards, making reinfestation a recurring challenge.

WHY OPEN SPACE DRIVES GOPHER PRESSURE

Natural open space like the Claremont Colleges campus provides ideal gopher habitat — undisturbed soil, native plant roots, and minimal human interference. As gopher populations expand, individuals move into adjacent residential properties. Irrigated lawns and gardens are particularly attractive because they offer softer soil and abundant food sources year-round.

THE REINFESTATION CHALLENGE

Homeowners near the Claremont Colleges campus often find that treating a gopher problem provides only temporary relief. Once resident gophers are removed, new individuals from adjacent open space can move in within weeks. Recurring maintenance is especially important for properties in this area.
