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.
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.
