Why gopher damage destroys landscaping
Gophers tunnel underground and eat plant roots
Pocket gophers create extensive tunnel systems under lawns, gardens, and landscaping. They eat plant roots, bulbs, and underground stems. A single gopher creates 200 feet of new tunnels per year. Mounds of dirt from tunneling activity appear overnight across your property. Gophers don’t hibernate – they stay active year-round, continuously expanding tunnel networks and eating vegetation. Tunnel systems damage irrigation lines, underground utilities, and structural foundations. Other gophers move into abandoned tunnel systems, making the problem persist even after one gopher is removed.
The cost of waiting
Gopher damage kills expensive landscaping, trees, and gardens from root destruction. Replacing plants and repairing irrigation damage costs hundreds to thousands depending on landscape size. Tunnel collapse creates trip hazards and uneven ground that damages lawn equipment. Golf courses, parks, and commercial properties face ongoing maintenance costs from gopher activity. Root damage weakens trees, making them susceptible to disease and wind damage. The longer gophers establish territory, the more extensive tunnel networks become and the more gophers move into the area. Property values decrease when gopher damage is visible.
