Pocket Gopher Removal in Tampa

Pocket gophers can be a major headache! They tunnel around your lawn, causing damage and spreading dirt everywhere. They love to gnaw, which might only damage your garden, but could also end up causing (costly) damage to water and power lines. Our AAAC Wildlife Removal pros are here to help you evict your gophers, clean up the mess, and repair the damage. Call now for a consultation!

Gophers in your Lawn

Gophers create tunnels underground, “pushing up” the dirt that is excavated and depositing it on the surface of your lawn or landscape. They like to outfit their networks of tunnels with all the necessities of life, including living spaces, waste disposal and tunnels for draining water. They will also take up residence under porches and patios.

They tend to look for loose soil surrounded by vegetation for cover and food. This makes lawns and crops great for a pocket gopher looking to raise its young. Gophers will commonly eat the roots of plants, trees and shrubs, ultimately killing the plants. Your expensive landscaping can be ruined quickly by these busy little guys!

Gopher Trapping and Removal

Since gophers move quickly, gopher control should be executed as soon as an animal has been found residing on your property. In many cases, trapping and removing a gopher is the necessary solution. At AAAC Wildlife Removal, we can guarantee that our professionals will not only thoroughly resolve the problems generated by gopher occupation, but they will do so in the most humane way possible.

Gopher Control and Exclusion

Once the initial gopher problem is resolved, there is still the task of making sure no other gopher or burrowing animal decides to move into the ready-made tunnel system in your yard.

This can involve installing barriers underground, around the garden or fields, which requires a lot of labor and experience to make sure the job is well-done.

Our friendly AAAC Wildlife Removal specialists are up to date on the best methods to exclude gophers from your property so you don’t have to worry about your furry friends making a repeat visit.

They came out to my house to remove a coral snake, and did a fantastic job! Out of all the wildlife removal places I called at 7:30pm, they were the only ones that answered right away. They made it out in about 30 minutes (which is pretty great considering they cover the whole greater Tampa area). And once they arrived, it only took them a couple minutes to get the coral snake in a bucket. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a quick removal of a dangerous snake.

They did a great job safely getting the squirrels out and sealing up the attic. Would use them again.
