Pocket Gopher Removal in Central Florida

Pocket Gopher Removal

Tunnels in the Yard? Don’t Let Subtle Damage Become Expensive.

Pocket gophers are rarely seen, but their presence is easy to spot: mounds of fresh soil, dead patches of lawn, and disrupted irrigation lines. These solitary diggers can wreak havoc beneath the surface—especially in yards, pastures, and golf courses.

 

Wildlife Works offers effective pocket gopher removal and control across Central Florida, helping homeowners, farms, and landscapers protect their turf and infrastructure.

Pocket Gopher Removal

Why Pocket Gophers Are a Problem

Though small, pocket gophers create extensive tunnel systems beneath the soil, leading to:

  • Raised crescent-shaped mounds in lawns or fields
  • Root damage to turfgrass, crops, and ornamentals
  • Undermined walkways or patios
  • Broken sprinkler lines or irrigation systems
  • Weakened soil around foundations or fence posts


Their activity often goes unnoticed until the damage becomes widespread.

Our Pocket Gopher Services Include:

  • Property assessment to confirm gopher activity vs. other burrowers
  • Targeted trapping—no poisons or gas
  • Tunnel disruption and mound leveling
  • Soil compaction and grading assistance
  • Barrier recommendations for gardens, fields, or foundations
  • Ongoing monitoring programs for farms, parks, and high-value turf areas

We focus on non-lethal, localized removal methods that preserve surrounding wildlife while eliminating the damage source.
