Gopher Control in Manhattan Beach, CA

Manhattan Beach, CALIFORNIA

Manhattan Beach properties—especially near Manhattan Beach City Hall on North Highland Avenue—commonly experience gopher activity due to local soil and landscaping conditions.

Gophers live almost entirely underground. As they tunnel, they push soil to the surface, creating fan-shaped mounds and damaging turf, plant roots, and irrigation lines. Without proper control, gopher activity can spread quickly across a property. Effective service requires identifying active tunnels, selecting the right method (traps or carbon monoxide), and follow-up until activity stops.

Common Gopher Damage in Manhattan Beach

• Fan-shaped soil mounds
• Underground tunneling that weakens lawns
• Damaged grass, roots, and planting areas
• Irrigation disruption

How Gopher Control Works

Gopher 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. Carbon monoxide is used when the technician determines it is a valuable treatment for the property. Our service is child-safe and pet-safe, and we do not use chemicals or poisons.

Guarantee

Gopher control services include 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 service is available at an affordable price. Our maintenance agreements do NOT require long-term contracts and can be cancelled any time.
