Gopher & Mole Control in Claremont

Pet-safe, no-poison gopher and mole control across Claremont — the mole capital of our service area — from the San Gabriel foothills to the tree-lined College Park neighborhoods.

Claremont is the mole capital of our service area — nearly 15% of the work here is mole control, more than any other city. The "City of Trees" mature canopy and heavily irrigated, shaded lawns make ideal mole habitat, while the San Gabriel foothills drive steady gopher pressure onto hillside lots. We've run over 3,300 gopher jobs and 500 mole jobs in Claremont.

The Mole Problem in Claremont

Claremont's tree-lined, well-watered lawns draw moles like nowhere else we service. The heaviest mole activity runs along New Hampshire Avenue and Fuller Drive in the College Park area near the Claremont Colleges, with more on North Mountain Avenue, Butler Court, and Padua Avenue. Moist, shaded soil is exactly what moles want — which is why so many Claremont properties need mole control alongside gophers.

North Claremont & the Foothills

Below the San Gabriel Mountains and Claremont Hills Wilderness Park — the Claraboya and Padua Hills tracts north of Baseline Road (Padua Avenue, North Mountain Avenue, North Mills Avenue, Alamosa Drive, Moab Drive, Deep Springs Drive). Mountain-edge open space feeds gophers onto these hillside lots year-round, so foothill properties tend to need ongoing control.

College Park & Central Claremont

The tree-lined neighborhoods around the Colleges — Princeton, Beloit, Carleton, and Brigham Young. Steady gopher and mole work on established, irrigated properties, most of them on recurring quarterly plans.

How Gopher & Mole Control Works

Gopher and mole control begins by locating active tunnels and identifying primary travel routes. Treatment is performed using traps or carbon monoxide when appropriate, based on the technician's assessment. Traps are reset until no new activity is observed during the guarantee period. Our service is child-safe and pet-safe, and we do not use chemicals or poisons.

60-Day Guarantee

Service includes a 60-day guarantee from the start of service day. If activity returns within the guarantee period, we retreat at no additional cost. If service past the guarantee period is needed, monthly or quarterly maintenance is available at an affordable price. Our maintenance agreements do NOT require long-term contracts and can be cancelled any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Claremont have so many moles?

Moles eat earthworms and grubs and thrive in moist, rich soil — exactly the conditions created by Claremont's famous mature tree canopy and heavily irrigated, shaded lawns. Nearly 15% of our Claremont work is mole control, the highest of any city we service, concentrated in the tree-lined College Park area along New Hampshire Avenue and Fuller Drive.

Do I need separate treatment for gophers and moles?

They are different animals with different signs — gophers push up fan-shaped mounds and eat roots; moles raise ridged tunnels and eat insects. Many Claremont properties have both. We identify what is active and trap accordingly; both are handled with underground traps and carbon monoxide, no poison.

Why are most Claremont customers on quarterly plans?

Established, well-landscaped Claremont properties do well on a quarterly visit that keeps gopher and mole activity from re-establishing between visits. Foothill lots near the Wilderness Park open space sometimes step up to monthly because they refill faster from the mountain edge.

Is gopher and mole control safe for pets and kids?

Yes. We use underground trapping and carbon monoxide only — no baits or poisons — so it is safe for dogs, cats, and children, including on foothill lots backing onto open space.

How much does gopher or mole control cost in Claremont?

Starting at $325 with a 60-day guarantee. Ongoing maintenance runs $65/month or $175/quarter, and most Claremont customers choose the quarterly plan.
