Gopher Removal in Hillsboro, TX

Gopher infestations often start small but can spread fast. These pests tunnel beneath lawns and gardens, disturbing soil, killing plants, and affecting foundations and irrigation systems. Without proper pest control, the problem can quickly lead to widespread damage and expensive repairs.

At GGA Pest Management, we specialize in gopher removal in Hillsboro, TX. Our team starts by inspecting your property to find active tunnels, entry points, and signs of damage. From there, we use humane, proven methods to resolve the issue and help keep gophers from coming back.


Signs of Gopher Infestations

GGA Pest Management Hillsboro Warning Sign Logo - 1
Mounded Dirt Piles

Gophers dig underground tunnels and push the displaced soil to the surface, creating crescent-shaped mounds of dirt. These soft, uneven piles are usually the first indicator that gophers are actively burrowing beneath your yard.

Damaged Plants and Lawns

Gophers feed mainly on roots, bulbs, and tubers. This feeding causes plants to wilt, yellow, or suddenly die. Sometimes, gophers dig up entire plants to eat, leaving noticeable holes or missing plants in your garden or lawn. If you see patches of dead grass or missing flowers, gophers could be the cause.

Visible Tunnel Openings

You might notice small, soil-filled holes that serve as entrances to gopher tunnels. Unlike mole tunnels, gopher tunnels usually don’t create raised ridges on the surface, so the openings may be less obvious but still visible if you look closely.

Soft or Sunken Ground

Gopher tunnels loosen the soil beneath the surface, making the ground feel soft or spongy when you walk on it. You may also notice uneven or sunken areas in your yard that seem to appear out of nowhere.

Dangers Posed by Gophers

While gophers don’t pose a direct threat to people, they can cause serious damage to your property and create other problems you should be aware of:

  • Landscape and Structural Damage: Gopher tunnels can weaken the ground over time, leading to bigger problems such as collapsed lawns, cracked foundations, broken irrigation lines, and unsafe walkways. This type of damage is often expensive and time-consuming to fix.
  • Destruction of Gardens and Crops: Gophers damage gardens and landscapes by eating plant roots and digging through flower beds and vegetable patches. They can reduce crop yields and destroy plants on farms or larger properties, making it hard to maintain healthy lawns and productive fields.
  • Attracting Other Pests: Abandoned or active gopher tunnels provide shelter for snakes, insects, and other pests. This can lead to additional infestations and increase risks around your home or business.
  • Potential Rabies Risk: While gophers can carry rabies, the risk to humans is low as they rarely come above ground and tend to avoid people. Still, having a professional assess and manage the situation is the safest way to limit any health risks.

Because of these risks, it’s important to act fast and get the right help to protect your property and peace of mind.

Because gophers spend most of their time below the surface, many homeowners don’t realize how active they are until the damage adds up. Removing them requires a careful approach that targets the problem at its source.

At GGA, we use proven techniques to remove and prevent gopher infestations:

  1. Trapping: We carefully place special traps, such as box traps or cinch traps, inside tunnels where gophers are active. These traps catch the gophers safely, allowing us to remove them from your property without harm to other animals.
  2. Relocation: When possible, we capture gophers and move them to natural areas far from homes and businesses. This helps protect your property while giving the gophers a chance to live in a better environment.
  3. Burrow Fumigation: We use carbon monoxide machines or gas cartridges to fill gopher tunnels with gas that eliminates the animals underground. This reliable method does not leave harmful chemicals in your soil or yard.
  4. Exclusion and Habitat Modification: To keep gophers from returning, we install underground barriers like wire mesh to block their tunnels. We also recommend changes to your landscaping, such as removing plants or debris that attract gophers.

    GGA Pest Management has serviced my residential needs for over 25 years. I pay for the yearly termite service and continue to be happy with the results. Recently, I engaged the company to resolve a carpenter ant, flea, and rodent problem. Chris Sutton came out to assess the infestation issue and schedule services. He was effective and efficient in treating both the inside and outside of the residence. Also, he returns quarterly to reassess and treat areas as needed. Thank you, Chris! I know my extermination needs are in very capable hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you want to permanently remove gophers from your property, hiring a professional pest control company for wildlife services is the most effective and safest approach.

While DIY baiting and trapping are possible, it can be dangerous for both the animal and the person handling them if not done properly. Gophers are wild animals, and if they feel threatened, they may bite, scratch, or become aggressive in self-defense.

Qualified and experienced teams like GGA understand gopher behavior and can provide targeted trapping, baiting, and prevention services to help you safely remove the critters and stop them from coming back.

The most effective gopher control is a combination of removal techniques and exclusion methods. Here's what that looks like:

  • Baiting: This involves placing professional-grade bait directly into active tunnels to lure gophers out of their underground burrows and help eliminate populations. It must be applied carefully to avoid harming non-target wildlife or beneficial insects.
  • Traps: Trapping is one of the most dependable methods for gopher control. Traps are placed in active tunnels and must be properly positioned, regularly monitored, and reset as needed to maintain effectiveness.
  • Habitat Modification: Reducing food sources, improving lawn care, and addressing soil conditions can make your property less appealing to gophers and help prevent future infestations.

Yes, gophers can be exterminated using baiting and trapping, but these techniques must be applied correctly and humanely. Improper use of poisons or traps can cause unnecessary suffering and pose risks to pets, people, and non-target wildlife.

At GGA Pest Management, we prioritize humane solutions and focus on relocation whenever possible. If there is an area far from homes and businesses where we can safely relocate the gopher, we’ll always choose that option first. However, if relocation isn’t possible due to location, safety, or health concerns, we use professionally applied, ethical methods to resolve the issue effectively and responsibly.

The best protection against gophers is proactive prevention and exclusion.

Here are a few things you can do:

  • Install Underground Barriers: Placing wire mesh or hardware cloth at least 1-2 feet below the surface can stop gophers from burrowing into gardens, lawns, or foundations.
  • Maintain Your Landscaping: Regularly mow your lawn, trim back dense vegetation, and avoid overwatering.
  • Reduce Food Sources: Limit planting root vegetables or tubers in open areas, and clean up fallen fruit or vegetation that might attract burrowing pests.
  • Hire a Professional Team: For complete protection, work with a pest control company like GGA. We offer exclusion services, habitat modification, and ongoing monitoring to help keep gophers off your property for good.

Here are a few steps you can take to ensure all gopher damage on your property is properly repaired:

  1. Fill in Tunnels and Mounds: Use fresh soil to fill in all visible tunnels and mounds across your yard. Be sure to tamp the soil down firmly to stabilize the ground and prevent uneven settling or future sinkholes.
  2. Repair the Lawn or Garden: Gophers can leave behind patches of dead grass, uprooted plants, and bare spots. Re-seed or re-sod damaged areas and replace any plants or landscaping features that were destroyed. Water and maintain the area to promote healthy regrowth.
  3. Check for Structural Damage: Gophers often chew through underground irrigation lines, utility cables, or root systems. Walk your property and inspect for signs of water leaks, dead patches of lawn, or malfunctioning systems that may need professional repair or replacement.

Yes, you should fill in gopher holes, but only after you’re certain the gophers are no longer active. Filling the tunnels too soon can cause them to dig new ones nearby.

If you're unsure whether the infestation is fully resolved, it's best to call a professional company like GGA Pest Management for a thorough inspection. We'll walk your entire property and look for signs of active gopher presence, such as fresh soil mounds, gnaw marks, and tunnel openings, to confirm whether it's safe to begin repairs.
