Our normal approach for residential gopher trapping in Palos Verdes Estates and commercial gopher removal in Palos Verdes Estates is combined with traps and carbon monoxide. We do not use the normal poisonous bait which is strychnine or gopher bait similar to that of rat poisonous bait. We have found their effectiveness is limited and the danger to your dogs, cats and children and other animals along with predatory birds is high.
Instead Rodent Guys Palos Verdes Estates gopher trapping starts out with trapping in the gopher tunnels nearby the most recent evidence on your yard. The traps are placed down into the gopher’s tunnel using irrigation flags showing their locations. Rodent Guys normally will let the traps sit for 1-7 days depending on schedule, weather and the technician’s recommendation.
When we come to retrieve the traps the dead gophers will be removed from the tunnels which is the first phase of our Palos Verdes Estates gopher trapping. After the trapping we will use our carbon monoxide machines to funnel carbon monoxide gas into the gopher burrow taking care of any other gophers in the burrow including the offspring in the burrow. Using 2 types of control techniques such as these offers great gopher control in Palos Verdes Estates allowing Rodent Guys to give the best guarantee.
The reason to not use poison for gopher trapping in Palos Verdes Estates?
Several poisons are sold for controlling gophers but few of them work well as a method alone. Even the professional strength of gopher bait available to us, a licensed pest control company, is limited in its effectiveness. Strychnine is known to be merely 50-60% effective as a standalone method of gopher control for your Palos Verdes Estates property. We have noticed with these poisons a little better but not up to our standards.
Besides gopher bait not having good control it is also quite lethal to pets and wildlife as well as children for your Palos Verdes Estates gopher trapping project. At times gophers will force poison out of their burrows when they do not intend to consume it (this happens commonly). Once the bait is above ground it is now available for anyone (children, dogs, cats and other wildlife) to consume the lethal bait. Strychnine has no antidote and kills in about 30 minutes.
The other way for exposure to the poison would be if a dog digs down n the tunnel going after the gopher and digs down to the lethal bait. Don’t let companies fool you, the main tunnels are not multiple feet below the surface. The tunnels on your Palos Verdes Estates landscape are 2-8″ down and easy to excavate since the tunneling removed quite a bit of the soil previously.
The last common way for your pet or wildlife to get poisoned by gopher poison is by eating 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 it is also eating the gopher bait. If you own dogs it is highly recommended to not use gopher bait and do not let a pest control company serving Palos Verdes Estates, CA tell you it is safe – it is not.
What is the reason for traps?
We have played with many ways for gopher extermination for our customers over the years. In Palos Verdes Estates, the main reasons to use trapping as a primary method of gopher pest removal is it works extremely well and is child safe. No doubt about when you pull out a gopher that you have removed the issue.
Why use carbon monoxide?
Rodent Guys knows Palos Verdes Estates people want their gopher infestation fixed quickly. When we follow our trapping program up with a carbon monoxide method we have now used a totally separate technique utilizing a different technology to help ensure the best chances of full gopher extermination.
The carbon monoxide fills the gopher burrow system with an unlivable 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 offspring in the nest. After the machines are turned off the gas quickly dissipates out of the gopher tunnels of your Palos Verdes Estates property. People and pets above ground are unaffected by the exhaust down in the tunnel. Our machines are registered and approved by EPA and State of California regulations for everyone’s safety.
