Signs You Have a Gopher Problem

Gophers can cause serious damage before you even realize they’re there. Knowing the early warning signs can help you take action before they wreak havoc on your lawn and garden.

Key Indicators of a Gopher Infestation:

• Mounds of Dirt – Fan- or crescent-shaped mounds with a plugged hole are a clear sign of gopher activity. Unlike molehills, gopher mounds are off-center and often appear in clusters.
• Damaged Plants & Roots – Gophers chew through plant roots, causing wilting, stunted growth, or sudden plant death—especially in gardens and landscaped areas.
•  Tunnels & Soft Spots in the Soil – Walking on your lawn and noticing spongy areas? That could indicate gopher tunnels beneath the surface.
• Chewed Irrigation Lines & Utility Wires – Gophers gnaw on plastic irrigation tubing and underground utility wires, leading to unexpected leaks or electrical issues.
• Disappearing Vegetation – Gophers pull plants, flowers, and vegetables underground, leaving empty spots in your garden where plants once thrived.
• Unusual Pet Behavior – Dogs and cats may dig frantically in areas where they sense gopher activity, indicating tunnels below.

Why Early Detection Matters

The longer gophers go unchecked, the more damage they can cause to your landscaping, irrigation systems, and even the structural integrity of your yard. Acting quickly can save you from costly repairs and extensive property damage.

Why Are Gophers Such a Problem?

Gophers may be small, but they can cause big problems for homeowners and property managers. Their underground tunneling not only destroys landscapes but also poses safety and health risks.

The Damage Gophers Cause:

✅ Lawn & Garden Destruction – Gophers feed on roots, bulbs, and tubers, killing grass, plants, flowers, and even trees.
✅ Extensive Tunneling – Their burrow systems weaken the soil, leading to unstable ground and potential sinkholes.
✅ Mound Buildup – Unsightly dirt mounds damage landscaping, create tripping hazards, and make mowing difficult.
✅ Health Risks – Gopher tunnels can attract fleas and ticks, which may carry diseases harmful to humans and pets.
