Gopher & Mole Control in the Whittier Hills
Pet-safe, no-poison gopher and mole control across the hillside neighborhoods of Whittier — Friendly Hills, East Whittier, the Whittier Hills, and Uptown.
Most of our Whittier work is in the hillside neighborhoods on the western Puente Hills — the affluent Friendly Hills and East Whittier tracts, the Whittier Hills north toward Turnbull Canyon, and Uptown at the core. Clay soil and irrigated hillside lawns drive both gopher tunneling and a real mole problem here. We've run over 2,500 gopher jobs and 168 mole jobs in Whittier.
Friendly Hills & East Whittier
The scenic Spanish-named tracts around Friendly Hills Country Club — Monte Oro, Cielo Vista, Mountain Shadows, El Braso, and Carinthia Drives. These are affluent hillside lots on clay where gopher tunnels hold year-round. Friendly Hills is also a mole hotspot: irrigated lawns on Youngwood, Larrylyn, and Lindante draw moles right alongside the gophers.
Whittier Hills & Uptown
From Uptown at the core out to the Whittier Hills toward Turnbull Canyon — Cliota Street, Rimview Drive, and Ocean View Avenue. Rimview Drive is our single biggest mole street in the city; the moist hillside soil there is ideal mole habitat, so many properties need both gopher and mole control.
Central & South Whittier
The flatter neighborhoods around Mar Vista Street and Hill Avenue. This is steadier gopher-only work — less mole pressure than the hills, since the drier flatland soil favors gophers over moles.
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
All of it, though most of our work is in the hills — Friendly Hills and East Whittier, the Whittier Hills and Uptown toward Turnbull Canyon, plus Central and South Whittier. We've completed over 2,500 gopher jobs in the city.
Moles eat earthworms and grubs and need moist, rich soil — exactly the conditions of the shaded, irrigated hillside lawns on Rimview Drive and around Friendly Hills. Gophers eat roots and dominate the drier flatland soil of Central and South Whittier. That's why the hills often need both gopher and mole control while the flats are usually gopher-only.
Hillside properties near the Puente Hills open space refill with new gophers from undeveloped land, so most Friendly Hills and Whittier Hills customers run monthly maintenance. Flatter Central and South Whittier lots often do fine on a quarterly plan.
Yes. We use underground trapping and carbon monoxide only — no baits or poisons — so it is safe for dogs, cats, and children, including on hillside lots backing onto open space.
Starting at $325 with a 60-day guarantee. Ongoing maintenance runs $65/month or $175/quarter.
