The typical approach for residential gopher removal in Rancho Palos Verdes and commercial gopher removal in Rancho Palos Verdes is dual process of traps and gas injection. At Rodent Guys we do not use the usual poison bait which is strychnine or gopher poison similar to rat poison. We have found their effectiveness is low and the danger to your dogs, cats and children and other wildlife along with predatory birds is elevated.
Based on this Rodent Guys Rancho Palos Verdes gopher removal begins by trapping in the gopher tunnels nearby the recent activity on your yard. These traps are positioned down into the gopher’s tunnel using markers showing their locations. Rodent Guys typically will allow the traps sit for 1-7 days depending on schedule, weather and the technician’s recommendation.
When Rodent Guys arrive to pick-up the traps all of the dead gophers will be removed out of the tunnels which is the 1st phase of our Rancho Palos Verdes gopher removal. We will then use our carbon monoxide machines to inject carbon monoxide gas into the gopher burrow taking care of any other gophers in the burrow including any young in the burrow. With 2 separate techniques such as these offers fantastic gopher control in Rancho Palos Verdes allowing Rodent Guys to give the longest guarantee.
Why not not use poison for gopher removal in Rancho Palos Verdes?
While many poison baits are sold for controlling gophers but few of them have good effectiveness as a sole control. Even the commercial strength of gopher poison available to us, a licensed pest control company, has poor results. Strychnine is reported to be only 50-60% effective as a standalone method of gopher control for your Rancho Palos Verdes property. Our experience with these poisons is a bit better than that but still not too low for repeatable results.
Besides gopher bait not having great control it is also very dangerous to pets and wildlife as well as a child for your Rancho Palos Verdes gopher removal project. Sometimes gophers will push poison out of their tunnels when they do not intend to consume it (this is common). When the gopher bait is pushed above ground it is now in reach for anyone (child, pet, other wildlife) to consume the deadly bait. Poisons such as strychnine have no antidote and kill in roughly 30 minutes.
Another way for exposure to the poison is if a dog digs down n the tunnel going after the gopher and eats the bait. Don’t let companies fool you, the main tunnels are not several feet down. The tunnels on your Rancho Palos Verdes lawn are two to eight inches below and easy to dig since the tunneling removed much of the dirt previously.
The other common way for your pet or wildlife to get poisoned by gopher bait is by consuming a dead or dying gopher that ate the poison. The lethal bait is still in the gopher’s stomach and when your pet eats the gopher he is also eating the gopher bait. If you own dogs it is strongly recommended to not use gopher bait and do not allow pest control companies serving Rancho Palos Verdes, CA tell you it is safe – it is not.
Why use traps?
Here at Rodent Guys we have played with many ways for gopher eradication for our customers over the years. In Rancho Palos Verdes, 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. No doubt about when you remove a gopher that you have solved the problem.
Why use carbon monoxide?
We know Rancho Palos Verdes people want their gopher problem solved quickly. Since we follow our trapping up with a carbon monoxide method we have now used a totally different method utilizing a different technology to help ensure the highest chances of full gopher extermination.
The carbon monoxide fills the gopher burrow system with an UN-breathable environment which only needs them to breath as a method of control. The entire system which is connected by tunneling is filled with this deadly gas in about thirty seconds and will exterminate gophers within the tunnels including babies in the burrow. Once the machines are switched off the gas quickly dissipates out of the gopher tunnels of your Rancho Palos Verdes property. Above ground people and pets 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.
