Gopher Removal in Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Arizona
Gopher Removal Services
Do you have gophers burrowing in your yard in the West? Gophers are small, brown, burrowing rodents, that weigh about ½ a pound on average and are usually between 6-8 inches long. Gophers are notorious for their destructive burrowing activity, which can decimate farms, gardens, and yards. Gophers will also raid vegetable gardens for food, feasting on roots, shrubs, lettuce, carrots, radishes, and other common vegetable crops.
Gophers prefer to burrow inside soft and moist soil, and unfortunately, this means they end up going into yards, lawns, gardens, farms, and golf courses, as these areas are watered regularly. If you have a gopher infestation on your property in the West, contact the gopher removal professionals at ecoPest Wildlife Management today. Our team has years of experience in wildlife trapping and removal, so trust us to solve your gopher problem in the Western States.
Gopher Burrows and Behavior
Gophers spend most of their life inside their extensive network of underground burrows, which allow them to forage for food and hide from predators like hawks. Unfortunately, these rodents often become a significant pest issue for homeowners as they will dig burrows inside yards and gardens.
Through their burrowing and foraging behaviors, gophers can kill trees and shrubs by tearing through their root systems. Gophers will raid your garden for fresh vegetables, ruining your crops. Gophers are a huge problem for farmers for this reason, as they can tear through farmland and destroy crop yields. Gopher burrows can tear through buried cables and wires, leading to safety hazards and costly repairs. Gophers can also burrow underneath your home’s foundation, which can lead to cracking and settling.
Gopher burrows also do damage on the surface, as they will leave behind several large holes in your yard. Gopher holes often have mounds at the entrance, which are heaps of soil in a crescent shape that the gopher leaves behind as they dig the burrow.
Do Gophers Carry Rabies?
All mammals can potentially carry the rabies virus, however, gophers are not known to carry rabies, and they are currently not known to transfer the rabies virus to humans. Gophers should still only be handled by professionals, as these rodents are armed with long, sharp teeth and powerful claws that they can use against you if they feel cornered or threatened. And while gophers do not transmit rabies, they can transmit a whole host of other diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, tularemia, and plague. Gophers also carry parasites like ticks, fleas, and mites.

The cost of gopher removal varies on a case-by-case basis, influenced by several factors including the severity of the infestation and the specifications of your exact property and situation.
