Gophers are destructive pests that can wreak havoc on residential lawns and gardens, creating unsightly mounds, damaging plants, and even compromising underground utility lines. Effective gopher control requires a strategic approach, and methods like trapping or the use of BurrowX provide reliable, long-term solutions to protect your property.
Why Gopher Control Matters
Gophers are more than just a nuisance; their tunneling activities can:
- Destroy plants by feeding on roots and bulbs.
- Weaken the structural integrity of soil, creating sinkholes.
- Damage irrigation systems and underground cables.
- Attract secondary pests such as snakes or insects that use their burrows.
Two Effective Methods for Long-Term Gopher Control
1. Trapping
Trapping is a proven and humane method for controlling gopher populations. Here's why it works:
- Targeted Approach: Traps are placed directly in active tunnels, ensuring precision in capturing gophers.
- Immediate Results: Once a trap is triggered, the gopher is removed from your property, reducing the population quickly.
- Non-Toxic: Unlike poisons, trapping doesn’t introduce harmful chemicals into your yard, making it a safer option for households with pets or children.
Trapping requires expertise to identify active tunnels, properly set the traps, and monitor results. Partnering with a professional pest control service ensures the job is done efficiently and effectively.
2. BurrowX Carbon Monoxide Treatment
BurrowX is an innovative and environmentally friendly solution that uses carbon monoxide to eliminate gophers in their tunnels.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Carbon monoxide fills the entire burrow system, targeting gophers and any potential offspring.
- Eco-Friendly: BurrowX doesn’t leave harmful residues, making it safe for gardens and lawns.
- Long-Term Impact: By eliminating entire colonies within the burrow, this method prevents new gophers from moving in and reusing the tunnels.
