Gophers aren’t just a lawn nuisance; they can turn lush grass and garden beds into uneven ground and buried tunnels. YYC Pest Control help Cochrane homeowners remove gophers safely, restore the look of their yards, and keep these burrowing pests from returning.
Mounds of dirt across your lawn
Damaged roots, plants, and sprinkler systems
Collapsed grass and tripping hazards
Chewed cables or utility lines underground
Letting them stay gives them time to spread and cause even more trouble.
How We Handle Gopher Control
We start with a careful look around your property—scanning for active mounds, tunnels and freshly disturbed soil.
After we find the key areas, we design a plan that’s tailored to your yard. It may include targeted baits or traps, tunnel‑collapse methods, and exclusion barriers. We pick treatments that suit your landscape, pets and family.
Leaving the job half‑done doesn’t protect your yard long term. We come back to check how things are stabilizing and adjust our approach as needed to ensure the gophers are gone and staying gone.
We’ll talk with you about how to make your yard less inviting for gophers—like reducing hiding spots, altering landscaping practices and filling or grading areas where tunnels often start.
