Gopher control Temecula-Murrieta
If you’re worried that you might have moles or gophers in your yard, here are five tell-tale signs of their activity:
- Fresh mounds of earth will pop up overnight on your lawn.
- Mole tunnels will damage plant roots and lead to stifled growth in plants and grass.
Moles eat worms and grubs- not roots. Therefore, they dig near the surface, just inches below the surface. They damage roots of the plants above where they dig.
- Gopher tunneling can bring stones up to the surface of the lawn. These can damage your lawn care equipment. Gophers are vegetarians and eat plants and their roots. Therefore, they dig in the root zone of plants, usually 4 to 6 inches below the plants and grass
- Gopher tunnels open up to three-inch-wide holes and go deeper into the ground than mole tunnels.
- If you notice plants have been pulled through the earth or eaten on the surface, you likely have gophers.
Moles and gophers can cause extensive damage to your yard, so it’s important to be able to recognize what you have as soon as possible. Once you know what problem you have act quickly to solve your problem. The damage they cause can happen quickly and be extensive. Taking immediate action will save your lawn.
