Gopher Trapping- Chico Gopher and Mole Control 

 

Norcal Trapping specializes safe and effective solutions for gopher and mole control. There are many strategies for gopher and mole control and we have narrowed down our approach to best serve our clients. Below is a list of strategies that can be used to prevent, control and remove gophers and moles. 

 

Bait- Poisonous baits can be effective for gophers. The gopher takes the bait and is killed. The potential health risk and environmental impacts of this option can be serious. Dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals can ingest the dead gopher and it can prove fatal. We avoid all baits and poisons because of this reason.

 

Flooding- Some people believe the practice of flooding holes can be productive. Gophers and moles have extensive networks of tunnels and can easily seek refuge. The water makes the soil softer and it turn makes the soil easier for the animal to navigate and dig new tunnels. Flooding also causes damage to landscape and should be avoided as a strategy. 

 

Ultrasonic Devices- We recommend avoiding these devices and saving your money. There has been no evidence to suggest they have an impact on gopher or mole activity. There are a number of solutions that are far better and cost effective. 

 

Trapping- Trapping is by far and away the most effective solution for gopher control. The traps are safe for you, your pets, and the environment. The biggest benefit is the feedback traps provided compared to other solutions. The trap leaves no question about the result. The animal is either in the trap or not and it offers closure to the customer. We ensure the problem is taken care of before we close out your job and trapping allows us to confidently do so.
