Our normal approach for gopher trapping for Newport Beach, CA residential and commercial gopher removal is dual process of traps and gas injection. We do not use the normal poison bait which is strychnine or gopher poison similar to rat poison bait. We have concluded their effectiveness is low and the danger to your Newport Beach dogs, cats and children and other wildlife along with predatory birds is high.

Based on this our gopher trapping begins by setting traps in the gopher tunnels near recent gopher activity on your Newport Beach yard. Most traps are inserted down into the gopher’s tunnel with small flags displaying their positions. Rodent Guys typically will  allow the traps sit for one to seven days depending on schedule, weather and the technician’s recommendation.

When Rodent Guys come to pick-up the traps the dead gophers will be removed out of the tunnels which is the 1st phase of our gopher trapping in Newport Beach. We will then use our carbon monoxide machines to funnel carbon monoxide gas into the gopher burrow killing any more gophers in the tunnel including any offspring in the nest. With 2 different control techniques such as these gives excellent gopher control allowing Rodent Guys to offer the best guarantee for gopher trapping in Newport Beach, CA.

Why do you no not use gopher poison?

Serveral poison baits are manufactured for controlling gophers but few of them work effectively. This includes the professional strength of gopher bait sold to to us, a licensed pest control company, is limited in its effectiveness. Strychnine is known to be only fifty to sixty percent effective as a standalone method of gopher control. Our experience with these poisons is a bit better but still not high enough.

Besides gopher poison not having good control for gopher trapping in Newport Beach it is also very lethal to dogs, cats and wildlife as well as children. At times gophers will eject poison out of their burrows if they do not intend to consume it (this is common). Once the bait is above ground it is now exposed for anyone (child, pet, other wildlife) to eat the deadly bait. Poisons such as strychnine have no antidote and kill in roughly 30 minutes.

Another way for exposure to the poison would be if a dog digs down n the tunnel going after the gopher and digs down to the bait. Don’t let pest control companies lie to you, the main tunnels are not several feet below the surface. The tunnels on your Newport Beach yard are 2-8″ below and easy to dig since the tunneling removed quite a bit of the soil previously.

The other way for your pet or wildlife to get poisoned by gopher bait is by consuming a dead or dying gopher that ate the poison. The bait is still in the gopher’s stomach and when your dog eats the gopher he he eats the poison as well. If you have dogs it is highly recommended to not use gopher bait and do not allow pest control companies serving Newport Beach try to tell you it is safe – its not.

What is the reason for traps for removing gophers in Newport Beach, CA?

We have played with many ways for gopher eradication in the past few years. The main reasons to use trapping as a primary method of gopher pest control is it works very well and is child safe. No doubt about when you pull out a gopher that you have removed the problem.

Why use carbon monoxide to exterminate gophers?

We know customers want their gopher problem fixed right away in Newport Beach. When we follow our trapping program up with a carbon monoxide treatment we have now used a totally different technique utilizing a different technology to help ensure the best chances of full gopher extermination.

The carbon monoxide fills the gopher burrow system with an unbreathable environment which only requires them to breath as a method of control. The whole system which is connected by tunneling is filled with this deadly gas in around 30 seconds and will exterminate gophers within the tunnels including young in the burrow. After the machines are turned off the gas quickly dissipates out of the gopher tunnels. People and pets above ground are unaffected by the gasses down in the tunnel. Our machines are registered and approved by EPA and State of California regulations for everyone’s safety and legal in Newport Beach for burrowing animals.
