Gopher Control in the Santa Ana Foothills
Pet-safe, no-poison gopher control in the northeast Santa Ana foothills — Cowan Heights, Lemon Heights, Panorama Heights, and North Tustin, near Peters Canyon.
Almost all our Santa Ana work is in the northeast foothills — the hillside communities of Cowan Heights, Lemon Heights, Panorama Heights, and North Tustin below the Santa Ana Mountains, near Peters Canyon Regional Park. These are large hillside lots on clay where gophers migrate in from the open space. We've run over 1,600 gopher jobs in the Santa Ana area.
Cowan Heights & Panorama Heights
The hillside tracts — Overhill Drive, Cowan Heights Drive, Skyline, Ranch Hill, and the Panorama streets (Circula Panorama, Vista Panorama, La Sierra). These foothill lots below the Santa Ana Mountains see steady year-round gopher pressure, so most stay on ongoing control.
Lemon Heights & the Peters Canyon Edge
North Tustin and Lemon Heights along Foothill Boulevard, plus the Reservoir Road tracts by Peters Canyon Reservoir. Gophers move straight from the park's open space onto these lots, so homes along the wildland edge need steady control to keep ahead of the migration.
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. Our service is child-safe and pet-safe, and we do not use chemicals or poisons.
60-Day 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cowan Heights, Lemon Heights, and Panorama Heights sit right below the Santa Ana Mountains and next to Peters Canyon Regional Park. That open space is prime gopher habitat, and gophers migrate from it onto the bordering hillside lots year-round — which is why the foothill neighborhoods see far more activity than the flatter parts of the city.
Hillside lots along the open-space edge keep getting new gophers moving in from Peters Canyon and the mountain foothills, so many run a recurring monthly plan to stay ahead of it. Interior tracts away from the wildland edge often do fine on a quarterly visit.
We locate active tunnels and treat with underground traps or carbon monoxide — no baits or poisons — so it is completely safe for dogs, cats, and children, and for the wildlife in the neighboring open space. Traps are reset until activity stops, backed by a 60-day guarantee.
Most properties clear in 2–4 weeks of trapping. Lots along the Peters Canyon and mountain-foothill edge may need ongoing maintenance to handle continued migration from the open space.
Starting at $325 with a 60-day guarantee. Ongoing maintenance runs $65/month or $175/quarter.
