How quickly can you come out?

Same-day service is often available. During business hours we respond to new requests within 30 minutes and can usually be on your property within 1–2 days.

Will my lawn be damaged?

No. Our specialists work through the existing tunnels, so we don't dig up or tear apart your yard. Most customers can't tell we were there once the job is complete.

How long does removal take?

Most infestations are resolved in as little as 2 days from the first trap set. Larger or more established populations may take slightly longer, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect after the inspection.

Do you offer poison treatments?

Yes, when it's the right fit. For large acreage and certain commercial jobs, professionally managed underground baiting is often more effective and cost-appropriate than trapping alone.

Is trapping better than poison?

For most residential properties, yes — trapping is safer around kids and pets, gives immediate confirmation of removal, and is covered by our 60-day warranty. For larger or more complex properties, a combination or baiting-first approach may work better.

What treatment do you recommend?

The one that's most effective, safest, and most appropriate for your property. We walk the yard, explain what we're seeing, and give you a plain-English recommendation before any work begins.

What does the warranty cover?

Our 60-day warranty applies to professional trapping services. If gophers return within 60 days, we come back to take care of them — you only pay a reduced trapping or setup fee. Baiting services are not covered under the warranty.

How much does service cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your property and the level of activity. Most residential jobs fall into a predictable range. And if we can ascertain the amount of activity over the phone, we can feel fairly confident in giving a quote. However, if the activity is widespread, it's best for us to do an on-site inspection to be able to deliver a firm quote.
