Pocket Gophers Control in San Jose

Burrowing yard rodents that damage lawns, roots, and irrigation lines.

About pocket gophers in San Jose

Valley soils and irrigated South Bay lawns suit pocket gophers well. They tunnel through yards, feeding on roots and chewing irrigation lines, and their mounds and collapsing soil damage landscaping.

You will usually find them in lawns, gardens, planters, and irrigated landscaping.

Signs you have pocket gophers

  • Fan-shaped mounds of fresh soil in the yard
  • Plugged holes at the center or side of mounds
  • Plants wilting as roots are eaten from below
  • Soft, collapsing soil over tunnels
  • Damaged irrigation lines

How we handle them

We place targeted traps in active tunnels and monitor until the yard is clear, with attention to keeping burrows away from the home perimeter.

Every job starts with a no-obligation inspection so we confirm the species and find the entry points before any work begins. Removal is paired with sealing and backed by our thorough sealing.

Request a no-obligation inspection or call (408) 762-1180.
