Gopher Inspection & Treatment Planning
We begin rodent-related pest concerns with a free inspection. When gophers are suspected, we look for active burrows and identify the landscaped areas where damage is occurring.
We also examine where the pests are active, how they may be reaching affected areas, and what may be attracting them. Based on these findings, we develop a custom treatment plan rather than applying the same response to every property.
This Integrated Pest Management process provides a clear basis for selecting a control method. Burrow patterns, landscape use, and areas accessible to children or pets all factor into the decision.
Gopher Control Methods for Placerville Properties
Our available methods include traditional trapping and an eco-friendly carbon-monoxide treatment for gophers, ground squirrels, and voles. We select an approach based on the conditions documented during the inspection.
Traditional Gopher Trapping
Trapping is considered a safe and effective control method. Proper placement depends on locating active sections of the tunnel system, which is one reason we assess the property before preparing a treatment plan.
Carbon-Monoxide Burrow Treatment
We’re introducing a treatment that delivers carbon-monoxide-rich exhaust into burrows. It helps control burrowing rodents without harsh chemicals or baits. California-approved pressurized exhaust machines for burrowing rodent control were approved in 2012.
Treatment Selection & Safety
We prioritize the safety of children and pets throughout our control process. Treatment selection accounts for burrow use, how people use the landscape, and whether children or animals can access the treatment area.
Rodent baits require particular care because their active ingredients are toxic. Strychnine-treated grain and zinc phosphide baits are lethal after a single feeding. Our inspection allows us to evaluate the property before recommending how to address the infestation.
