Eddie with Thrasher was fantastic! He was very friendly, thorough, and detailed. He dewebbed the property and sprayed for spiders, ants, and roaches. He did a great job, and I really appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend Eddie and Thrasher!

Gopher Control Questions From El Cajon Homeowners

Get a free inspection when you book a pest control service.

What methods are used for gopher control?

Gopher control uses one of three methods: grain bait placed in the tunnel, gopher hawk traps, or CO2 treatment of an active tunnel.

Feeding mounds and kick-out mounds show gopher activity. Probing around the feeding mounds finds the active tunnel, so treatment goes where the gophers are working.

Grain bait goes directly into the tunnel. Every hole used for bait is covered to protect animals that are not the target. The mounds are flattened so new activity shows on the check back.

After probing finds the current tunnel, gopher hawk traps are set in it. Where there are multiple tunnels, multiple traps are set.

A device is inserted into an active runway tunnel, and CO2 is applied for about 3 minutes. The technician checks during that time that no gas escapes the tunnel.
