Gopher Control in the Sherman Oaks Hills
Pet-safe, no-poison gopher control in the Sherman Oaks hills south of Ventura Boulevard — the Santa Monica Mountains estate tracts.
Almost all our Sherman Oaks work is in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard, climbing the Santa Monica Mountains toward Mulholland — large hillside estates on clay where gophers migrate from the mountain open space. Most are on frequent monthly maintenance. We've run over 2,600 gopher jobs in Sherman Oaks.
The Sherman Oaks Hills — South of Ventura
The hillside streets run from the base up to the ridge — Valley Vista, Vista Haven, Cody Road, Briarwood, and Woodcliff — climbing toward Mulholland. Mountain open space feeds gophers onto these lots year-round, so the hillside estates see the heaviest, most continuous pressure and most stay on ongoing service.
The Estate Tracts
The named hillside enclaves — Royal Woods and Longridge Estates, Dixie Canyon, and the gated Beverly Ridge near Beverly Glen — are large estates on heavy monthly service to keep clay-soil grounds clear ahead of continued migration from the mountains. North of Ventura Boulevard, the flatter valley grid sees lighter, steadier gopher work on smaller lots.
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
The hills south of Ventura Boulevard climb straight into the Santa Monica Mountains, and that mountain open space is prime gopher habitat. Gophers migrate down onto the bordering hillside estates year-round, so the south-of-Ventura lots see far more activity than the flatter valley side to the north.
The large hillside estates in Royal Woods, Longridge, Dixie Canyon, and Beverly Ridge back onto mountain open space that keeps refilling with new gophers, so a monthly visit is what keeps big landscaped grounds clear across the whole property. Smaller, flatter lots on the valley side often do fine on a quarterly plan.
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 mountain open space. Traps are reset until activity stops, backed by a 60-day guarantee.
Most Sherman Oaks properties clear in 2–4 weeks of trapping. Hillside estates along the mountain edge may need ongoing maintenance to handle continued migration from the Santa Monica Mountains open space.
Starting at $325 with a 60-day guarantee. Ongoing maintenance runs $65/month or $175/quarter.
