Signs of a Gopher Problem
Gophers prefer to be outside, so you will likely only discover signs of an infestation in your yard. These pests are most common during spring and summer, but can be found any time of the year.
Some of the most common signs of a gopher infestation include:
- Unexplained piles of dirt in your yard
- Holes in your lawn or garden
- Missing fruits, vegetables, roots, leaves, or stems from your garden
- Unusual pet behavior such as persistent digging
If you discover signs of a gopher problem in your yard, reach out to our Boston gopher control specialists right away. We are skilled in quickly locating, identifying, and treating gophers.
What Do Gophers Eat?
Gophers are herbivores, which makes a beautiful garden the ideal home for one.
They feed on a variety of vegetation, including:
- Shrubs
- Bushes
- Trees
- Fruit
- Vegetables
- Plants
- Roots
Because gophers have very poor vision, they rely on their sense of smell to find food. Most of the time, they feed on roots that they come across while digging their underground tunnels, but they are also known to feed on plants and other vegetation while above ground.
Why You Need to Get Rid of Gophers from Your Yard
While gophers aren’t typically a dangerous pest, they can cause a massive amount of damage to your yard. These rodents are known for burrowing and building tunnels that can extend across your entire yard, and then some.
You should treat your gopher problem as soon as possible because:
- Gophers cause erosion in your yard
- Gophers are known to carry and spread diseases
- Gophers commonly carry and introduce new pests to your property such as fleas and ticks
- Gophers destroy your yard by digging underground tunnels
- Gophers eat tree roots and build tunnels underneath them, which can result in toppling
- Gophers can destroy plumbing pipes
- Gophers can uproot sprinkler systems
- Gophers attract predators—such as coyotes, bobcats, and more—to your property
Don’t let gophers take over your yard. Bring in the experts from Pestex to take care of the problem once and for all.
