Gopher Control in the Tarzana Hills

Pet-safe, no-poison gopher control in the Tarzana hills south of Ventura Boulevard — the Santa Monica Mountains estate tracts.

Almost all our Tarzana work is in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard, climbing into the Santa Monica Mountains — large hillside estates on clay soil where gophers migrate from the mountain open space. Most are on frequent monthly maintenance. We've run over 1,300 gopher jobs in Tarzana.

The Tarzana Hills — South of Ventura

The hillside estate tracts along Wells Drive, Starlight, Monarca, Jubilo, and Rosita climb the north slope of the Santa Monica Mountains. Mountain-edge open space feeds gophers onto these large lots year-round, so the hillside estates see the heaviest, most continuous pressure and most stay on ongoing service.

Estate Maintenance & the Valley Side

The hillside estates run on heavy monthly service to keep large clay-soil grounds clear ahead of continued migration from the mountains above. North of Ventura Boulevard, the flatter valley grid — Corbin and the streets around it — 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

Why do the Tarzana hills south of Ventura get so many gophers?

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.

Why are most Tarzana properties on monthly maintenance?

The large hillside estates 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 away from the mountain edge often do fine on a quarterly plan.

How does gopher control work, and is it safe for pets and kids?

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.

How long does gopher control take in Tarzana?

Most Tarzana 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.

How much does gopher control cost in Tarzana?

Starting at $325 with a 60-day guarantee. Ongoing maintenance runs $65/month or $175/quarter.
