Gopher Control in Denver

Stopping Root Damage and Irrigation Leaks at the Source

In the Denver area, a pristine lawn can quickly turn into a hazard zone when underground pests move in. Homeowners frequently wake up to unsightly fan-shaped mounds of dirt, sinking soil, and expensive landscaping plants that seem to disappear overnight. Beyond the cosmetic damage, these burrowing rodents pose a serious threat to irrigation lines and the structural integrity of patios and walkways. Ignoring these signs often leads to extensive tunnel networks that are difficult to manage without professional intervention.

Signs You Need Professional Gopher Control

Identifying a gopher problem early is the key to preventing costly landscape repairs. Unlike other pests that may leave subtle hints, gophers leave distinct physical evidence of their presence. However, because they spend almost their entire lives underground, many homeowners mistake their activity for moles or voles, leading to ineffective treatments. Understanding the specific indicators of a gopher infestation helps ensure you get the right help before the tunnel network expands.

• Fan-Shaped Mounds: Gophers push loose dirt to the surface, creating crescent or fan-shaped mounds that often plug the tunnel exit, unlike the conical mounds left by moles.
• Disappearing Vegetation: If your prize perennials or vegetable plants suddenly wilt or are pulled underground entirely, it is likely a gopher feeding on the root system.
• Irrigation Leaks: Gophers often chew through underground sprinkler lines and drip systems, causing unexplained wet spots, flooding, or sudden spikes in your water bill.
• Uneven Ground: As they excavate, the soil above their tunnels can become unstable, creating soft spots or sinkholes that pose tripping hazards for family members and pets.
