Gopher Control in the Temecula Valley
Gopher Control in the Temecula Valley is our home turf. Gopher Stop is a veteran-owned crew running from Lake Elsinore and Wildomar in the north down through Murrieta and Temecula, then out east through Menifee, Winchester, Romoland, and Perris to San Jacinto, and every neighborhood in between. If a gopher just hit your yard, we can usually be there today.
Gopher Pest Control in the Temecula Valley
Every neighborhood in the valley has its own gopher pattern. Sommer's Bend is still settling in after the build-out, and the wildlife that got pushed off that land comes back every season looking for a place to dig. The homes along Pechanga Parkway pull gophers out of the hills where Rainbow Valley Blvd cuts through. Redhawk sits next to parks, open landscape, and a golf course, so the tunnels never really stop. Crowne Hill catches traffic coming down from the ridge between wine country and town. Morgan Hill and Heritage Hill both sit right on the edge of open land, so gopher activity is common.
Wine country is its own animal. A single active gopher in a vineyard row will chew through drip line and clip young vine roots faster than most owners expect. Same story with the newer landscape jobs along the De Portola corridor. Fresh sod and newly planted root balls are basically a food court, and decomposed granite does not stop a gopher from reaching them. Succulents and ornamental grasses in mulched or rock landscapes are food too. Tunneling can also follow pool plumbing or leave voids beneath artificial turf and concrete.
Gopher Stop has worked these neighborhoods for 2 decades, licensed under California DPR 45065. Every residential job is poison free, backed by a 60 day service warranty, and we can usually be out the same day you call. Our pricing starts at $295 for the first gopher, with no surprise fees.
Animal Control in the Temecula Valley
The valley has a healthy population of gopher predators. Red tailed hawks work the open fields around Winchester and Menifee. Great horned owls hunt from the oaks in Wine Country. Gopher snakes, bobcats, and coyotes all move through the same open space corridors your gophers came from. That whole food chain is the reason California pulled the effective gopher baits off the shelf. A poisoned gopher is an easy meal, and a bird or bobcat pays for it.
Moles are the other call we get out here. They show up in the greenest, wettest yards, usually the newer sod jobs in Temecula and Murrieta where the irrigation runs long. The mounds look different from a gopher mound, more of a round volcano shape, and the tunneling runs shallow. Moles are a different animal than gophers and the gopher approach doesn't touch them. We have an effective control method specifically for eliminating moles.
Ground squirrels are the third one worth mentioning, and we have solutions for dealing with them that are customized to your situation.
