Gopher control using trapping only — no poisons, no chemicals, no risk to your dogs, cats, or children. Serving San Juan Capistrano with a 60-day guarantee.
San Juan Capistrano's equestrian tradition and agricultural heritage create specific gopher management needs unlike anywhere else in Orange County. The horse properties, working ranches, and equestrian-zoned residential areas throughout the city cannot safely use rodenticide bait — the risk to horses investigating disturbed soil, barn cats that hunt gophers, and the raptors that patrol horse properties makes bait completely inappropriate. Trapping is the only viable gopher control option for equestrian properties.
The Ortega Highway corridor and the communities along San Juan Creek experience persistent gopher pressure from open space habitat in the adjacent Santa Ana Mountains. The creek corridor provides continuous gopher migration from wildland into residential and agricultural areas throughout the city.
San Juan Capistrano has both equestrian-zoned properties and standard residential HOA communities. For all property types, trapping provides the reliable gopher removal appropriate for San Juan's unique combination of equestrian heritage, mission-era open space, and modern residential communities. The city's livestock populations and active hunting raptors make trapping not just preferable but the only responsible choice.
Gophers spend nearly their entire lives underground. Watch for these indicators:
The sooner treatment begins after you notice signs, the smaller the tunnel system will be and the faster the problem is resolved.

Most conventional gopher control uses rodenticide bait toxic to dogs, cats, and wildlife. Trapping eliminates gophers with no surface chemicals — the only safe choice for pet-occupied yards.
