The normal approach for home gopher extermination in Santa Clarita and commercial gopher removal in Santa Clarita is dual process of trapping and gas injection. At Rodent Guys we do not use the usual poison bait which is strychnine or gopher bait similar to rat poisonous bait. We have concluded their effectiveness is low and the danger to your dogs, cats and children and other wildlife including predatory birds is great.

This is why our Santa Clarita gopher extermination starts out with trapping inside the gopher tunnels nearby the most recent activity on your home. The traps are positioned inside the gopher’s tunnel using markers displaying their positions. Rodent Guys normally will let the traps sit for one to seven days varying on schedule, weather and the technician’s recommendation.

When Rodent Guys arrive to pick-up the traps the dead gophers will be pulled from the tunnels which is the 1st phase of our Santa Clarita gopher extermination. After the trapping we will use our carbon monoxide machines to inject carbon monoxide gas into the gopher burrow eliminating any more gophers in the tunnel including any young in the nest. Utilizing two types of control techniques such as these offers fantastic gopher control in Santa Clarita allowing us to give the best guarantee.

Why not not use poison for gopher extermination in Santa Clarita?

There are many poison baits are available for controlling gophers but few of them have good effectiveness as a method alone. Even the professional strength of gopher poison available to us, a licensed pest control company, is limited in its effectiveness. Strychnine is reported to be merely fifty to sixty percent effective as a standalone technique of gopher control for your Santa Clarita property. Our experience with these poisons is a bit higher but not up to our standards.

Besides gopher poison not having great control it is also very lethal to dogs, cats and wildlife not to mention a child for your Santa Clarita gopher extermination project. Sometimes gophers will force poison from their burrows when they do not plan to consume it (this happens commonly). Once the bait is above ground it is now available for anyone (child, pet, other animals) to eat the deadly bait. Strychnine has no antidote and kills in about 30 minutes.

Another way for exposure to the poison is if a dog digs down n the tunnel going after the gopher and consumes the bait. Don’t let pest control companies trick you, the main tunnels are not several feet down. The tunnels on your Santa Clarita yard are 2-8″ down and easy to excavate since the tunneling removed a lot of the soil previously.

The last common way for your pet or wildlife to get poisoned by gopher bait is by eating a dead or dying gopher that consumed the poison. The poison is still in the gopher’s stomach and when your dog eats the gopher he he eats the poison as well. If you have dogs it is highly recommended to not use gopher bait and do not allow pest control companies serving Santa Clarita, CA try to tell you it is safe – its not.

Why use traps?

We have used many ways for gopher eradication in the past few years. In Santa Clarita, the main reasons to use trapping as a primary method of gopher pest control is it works very well and is pet-safe, child-safe, wildlife-safe. There is no doubt when you pull out a gopher that you have solved the issue.

Why use carbon monoxide?

Rodent Guys knows Santa Clarita customers want their gopher problem solved quickly. Since we follow our trapping up with a carbon monoxide treatment we have now used a totally different technique utilizing a different technology to help ensure the highest chances of full gopher extermination.

The carbon monoxide floods the gopher burrow system with an UN-breathable environment which only needs them to breath as a method of control. The whole system which is connected by tunneling is filled with this lethal gas in around thirty seconds and will eliminate gophers within the tunnels including babies in the burrow. After the machines are turned off the gas quickly dissipates out of the gopher tunnels of your Santa Clarita property. People and pets above ground are unaffected by the exhaust down in the tunnel. Our devices are registered and approved by EPA and State of California regulations for your safety.
