Eddie A. serviced our property on Saturday and was extremely thorough, very professional and very communicative. He called ahead of time and later asked for permission to proceed. He explained everything he did and was very respectful. Excellent service!

Thrasher has been the company we have used for years to keep the perimeter of the house ant and spider free. They come every 3 months and the ant and crawly bugs are no where near the perimeter of the house. This month it was Eddie Amaya who sprayed around the house and swept away any spider webs that were hiding under the outdoor furniture.

Mark was great! He and Ben(?) inspected the room, bedding, carpet, etc searching for bugs which may have caused my grandsons' bites. He explained the process, left the boards and then came back about a week later to ck again. Good job!

How can I tell if gophers are active on my property?

In Poway, we often see gopher activity during summer when fresh dirt mounds and tunnel openings show up overnight in lawns or gardens. If you spot these signs, we’re ready to help so give us a call at 619-955-5121 or schedule a visit for a quick estimate.

Properties with irrigated lawns, gardens, and landscaped plants provide a steady food source for gophers. The roots of grass, shrubs, and ornamental plants can attract these burrowing rodents to yards where soil conditions allow them to dig tunnel systems.

In Poway, gophers dig tunnels that ruin lawns, chew roots, and can even leave raised soil mounds across gardens or play areas. If you think gophers are causing trouble, call 619-955-5121 or schedule a visit and we’ll check your home.

In Poway, gophers stay active throughout the year because of the mild Southern California weather, so we often see new tunnel activity even in summer. If you notice mounds in your yard, we’ll check it out—just call 619-955-5121 or schedule a visit for an estimate.

In Poway, gophers often dig tunnels under lawns, flower beds, and in areas with lots of moisture or plant roots, since these spots give them easy food and soft soil. If you’re seeing fresh mounds or plants suddenly dying, call 619-955-5121 or schedule a visit and we’ll check your home for you.
