Gopher baiting is one of the most effective methods for controlling pocket gophers when performed correctly. At Go-Pher The Kill & Pest Control, we specialize in underground burrow baiting, a targeted treatment designed to place bait directly into active tunnel systems where gophers naturally travel and feed. By treating the burrow instead of the surface, we can effectively control active infestations while minimizing disturbance to your property.

Unlike surface baiting, underground burrow baiting places bait inside active gopher tunnels using specialized equipment. This allows the bait to remain within the burrow system where gophers are most likely to encounter it.

Our technicians begin by locating active burrow systems before placing bait into the tunnels. Identifying active tunnels is one of the most important parts of a successful gopher control program, helping ensure treatments are made where gophers are actively feeding.

Underground burrow baiting offers several advantages:

• Targets gophers where they live
• No bait is left exposed on the surface
• Minimal disruption to lawns and landscaping
• Effective for both residential and larger properties
• Can quickly reduce active gopher populations
• Easily incorporated into ongoing maintenance programs

When used as part of a professional gopher management program, underground burrow baiting is an efficient way to protect landscapes from continued damage.

No two properties have the same level of gopher activity. Before every treatment, our technicians inspect the property to identify fresh activity, locate active tunnel systems, and determine the most effective treatment plan.

Depending on the property and the infestation, underground burrow baiting may be used by itself or combined with other professional methods such as trapping, carbon monoxide burrow treatments, or aluminum phosphide applications where appropriate and permitted. Our goal is to select the method—or combination of methods—that provides the best long-term results.
