Targeted gopher baiting, trapping, and burrow control to protect your lawn, garden, and landscape from costly tunneling damage.
We’re your local choice for gopher control in Los Angeles and Torrance. Our licensed technicians, with nearly a decade of experience and a Branch 2 license, start with a free inspection to map active tunnels and feeding runs across your yard. We place targeted bait deep in the burrow system—where gophers actually travel—and follow up to confirm the colony is gone. Count on us for safe, effective service that keeps your landscape intact—contact us today!
We tackle gopher problems in Los Angeles and Torrance with a methodical, results-driven process. It starts with a free inspection by our technicians, who bring nearly a decade of experience and a Branch 2 operator license. We walk your lawn, garden, and landscape beds to locate fresh mounds, plugged holes, and active runways, then probe the soil to find the main tunnels that connect them.
Next, we build a targeted baiting plan. Gophers spend nearly their whole life underground, so surface sprays do nothing—we place professional-grade bait directly into the active burrow system where they feed and travel. Where conditions call for it, we add trapping to knock the population down fast. Bait and tunnel placements are positioned to reach gophers while keeping them out of reach of kids, pets, and non-target wildlife.
We keep you in the loop. You’ll get updates on what we found and what to expect, and our fast service means minimal disruption to your yard. Follow-ups are part of the deal—we re-check the runs to confirm the gophers are gone, which matters in LA where they breed year-round and a single survivor can re-colonize a lawn.
Good Pest Management brings local know-how and proven methods to every gopher job. Our goal is a tunnel-free yard you can actually enjoy. If gophers are wrecking your lawn or garden, call us today—we’ll start with that free inspection and take it from there.
Gophers do their damage out of sight, but they leave unmistakable signs above ground. At Good Pest Management, we’ve seen them all—here’s how Los Angeles and Torrance homeowners can spot a gopher problem before it ruins a lawn.
The classic giveaway is the mound. Gophers push soil to the surface in fan- or crescent-shaped mounds, usually with a plugged hole off to one side—different from the volcano-shaped, center-holed mounds left by moles. Find several fresh mounds across your yard and you likely have an active gopher at work.
Watch your plants, too. Gophers feed on roots, bulbs, and tubers, so wilting or dying plants—sometimes pulled partway underground—are a red flag. Chewed drip lines, damaged irrigation tubing, and gnawed sprinkler or utility wiring are common as well. You may also notice soft, sunken soil or collapsing tunnels underfoot as you walk the lawn.
Gardens and raised beds are prime targets, and a single gopher can tunnel hundreds of feet, leaving a network of runways just below the surface. If any of this sounds familiar, act fast—gophers reproduce quickly and the damage compounds. Good Pest Management offers free inspections to confirm the problem and put a stop to it.

Pocket gophers are more than a lawn nuisance in Los Angeles and Torrance—they’re remarkable little engineers. At Good Pest Management, we’ve got the scoop—here are some facts that might surprise home and business owners.
Gophers get their name from the fur-lined “pockets” in their cheeks, which they use to haul food and nesting material. They’re built to dig, with powerful front claws and ever-growing incisors, and a single gopher can move several tons of soil a year while building tunnel systems that stretch hundreds of feet.
They’re loners and homebodies. Most of the year a gopher lives alone in its burrow, rarely surfacing—which is exactly why baiting and trapping inside the tunnel system succeed where surface treatments fail. They don’t hibernate either, staying active and feeding underground all year in our mild climate.
They breed fast, too—females can produce multiple litters a year, so an empty-looking yard can be re-colonized in a single season. Because gophers feed almost entirely on roots and plants, lawns, gardens, and orchards take the hardest hit. Good Pest Management uses this biology to our advantage, targeting gophers right where they live. Got gophers on your mind? Call us—we’ll get them out fast!
