Gopher Control with Pest Control Atlanta
Are crescent-shaped mounds appearing across your lawn overnight? These soil fans signal pocket gophers tunneling 6–12 inches below ground, severing roots, irrigation lines, and destabilizing foundations at alarming speed. A single gopher excavates up to 70 mounds annually, creating 200+ feet of burrows that attract secondary pests like snakes. Instead of relying on ineffective pocket gopher poison or generic gopher control products, trust the wildlife-certified technicians at Pest Control Atlanta. We deploy science-based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combining strategic trapping with EPA-registered burrow fumigants and exclusion barriers. Our proven gopher control methods target active tunnel networks using pocket gopher traps and bait stations, neutralizing infestations at the source. Backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and available 24/7 for emergency response, we deliver permanent gopher extermination that protects your investment.

Pest Control Atlanta's Gopher Extermination Process
Property Inspection
Certified technicians conduct thorough inspections using thermal imaging and probe rods to map active tunnel networks, identify main runways, and assess infestation severity across the entire property.
Trap & Bait Deployment
Species-appropriate traps (Macabee, cinch, or box traps) are positioned in active lateral tunnels while EPA-registered pocket gopher baits target main burrow systems for maximum population elimination. For severe infestations, we apply aluminum phosphide fumigation to eliminate entire colonies.
Monitoring & Removal
Technicians return within 48-72 hours to check trap effectiveness, remove captured gophers, and reposition devices as needed ensuring complete colony eradication within the treatment timeline.
Exclusion & Prevention
Underground wire mesh barriers, habitat modification recommendations, and ongoing monitoring programs prevent future gopher recolonization protected by a 90-day satisfaction guarantee

Gopher Extermination Services in Metro Atlanta: Local Risk, Local Expertise
Atlanta’s unique clay-loam soil composition and 50+ inches of annual rainfall create ideal conditions for Southeastern pocket gopher (Geomys pinetis) population explosions, particularly during spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) when soil moisture peaks. Current data confirms Metro Atlanta gopher activity increased 34% since 2023, driven by suburban expansion into former agricultural land and mild winters that no longer suppress breeding cycles. Properties in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, and Roswell report the highest infestation rates due to sandy-loam substrates preferred by burrowing rodents. Pest Control Atlanta’s technicians train specifically on Georgia soil types, native vegetation patterns, and seasonal gopher behavior that out-of-state franchises miss. Our IPM-certified approach combines tunnel mapping, strategic trapping with professional-grade pocket gopher traps, and EPA-registered fumigants proven effective in Southern clay soils. With same-day service across and a 90-day gopher-free guarantee, we’ve protected over 3,000 properties from costly landscape and foundation damage. Don’t let gophers destroy your investment, Schedule your free inspection and join thousands of satisfied homeowners who chose local expertise over generic solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you permanently get rid of gophers?
Yes, through Integrated Pest Management: systematic trapping, burrow destruction, underground exclusion barriers (hardware cloth 24″ deep), and habitat modification. Pest Control Atlanta’s 90-day guarantee ensures permanent results with free re-treatment if needed.
How much does professional gopher control cost?
Gopher control pricing depends on the size of the property, how many active tunnel systems are present, soil conditions, and whether follow-up visits are needed. We provide an on-site inspection with transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden fees. Call or book online to get a gopher control quote.
What is the most effective gopher control method?
The most effective gopher control comes from targeting the active main run using proven methods like professional trapping and/or precision bait placement. We choose the method based on fresh activity, landscape layout, and safety considerations. Schedule an inspection to get the fastest plan for your property.
Do you use traps, bait/poison, or both for pocket gopher control?
We may use pocket gopher traps, bait, or a combination depending on the site, level of activity, and safety needs (pets, kids, livestock, nearby gardens). The key is correct placement inside the active tunnel system—not just treating visible mounds. Call today and we’ll recommend the best approach for your property.
Are your gopher control methods safe for pets and children?
Safety depends on the method used and where activity is located, which is why we assess the property before treatment. We’ll explain options and precautions clearly so you can choose the safest effective plan. Schedule a gopher control inspection and we’ll walk you through safe solutions.
How fast will gopher control work?
Many customers see a reduction in new mounds quickly once the active system is correctly targeted, but timing varies by the number of gophers and tunnel complexity. Follow-up visits are often part of a complete gopher extermination plan. Call now to get the earliest available appointment.
Do you fix lawn damage or remove the dirt mounds?
Our primary service is stopping the gophers through removal and control, and we can advise on best practices for restoring your lawn after activity ends. Landscaping repairs, regrading, or reseeding may be separate depending on the job. Ask about what’s included when you request your quote.
