Gopher Control & Traps (30 items found)

There are numerous gopher species in North America, and none are likely to be welcome visitors in your yard. Gophers are one of the most damaging pests that can take up residence in a garden, causing problems with plants and structures alike. The good news is that the gopher control collection at Ace will help you ensure they leave your property alone.

Why Gopher Control Is Essential

Like moles, gophers are enthusiastic tunnelers whose excavation work can undermine your yard and wreck your lawn. Their burrowing can severely damage plants in your garden by ripping up their roots, while garden structures can also become unstable as the soil beneath them is weakened.

As with mice and other nibbling rodents, gophers can cause damage to electrical wiring thanks to their love of gnawing. Without effective gopher control, you may find your outdoor electrical installations and even the wiring in your car can be chewed through, creating fire risks and expensive damage.

Even worse, gopher damage often goes undiscovered in the early stages. By the time an infestation is spotted, the repair bills can keep piling. At Ace, we have the solutions to these problems with a choice between gopher traps, repellent and bait depending on the severity of the infestation.

Discourage Tunneling Visitors with Gopher Repellent

Gopher repellent offers a gentler solution that deters gophers from moving into the treated area. Based on natural ingredients that seep into the soil after rain or watering, gopher repellent makes the earth smell and taste extremely unpleasant for these pests, discouraging them from their burrowing behavior while being completely non-toxic and safe for people and pets.

Fast and Humane Gopher Control with Gopher Traps

Gopher traps offer a quick and humane way of destroying the animals as they move through their underground tunnels. Trap kits include convenient locator devices to find where the gophers are passing under your lawn and flowerbeds.

Once you've found their runs, setting the traps inside them will catch and eliminate the gophers—no poisons or bait required. As they work completely below the yard’s surface, gopher traps are typically harmless to children, pets, and most other forms of wildlife.

Larger-Scale Control with Gopher Bait

For treating larger areas where trapping isn't a realistic choice, gopher bait is an efficient solution for controlling outsized populations. Simply place the bait into the tunnel system as directed to poison the animal, quickly eliminating the infestation.

Moreover, gopher bait provides long-lasting protection to stop new gopher populations from building up. However, as with all pest-control poisons, gopher bait can be toxic to other wild animals like deer or squirrels, and especially pets, so it should be used very carefully and with the utmost caution.
