Whether it’s your home or your business, Robbins Pest Control delivers reliable treatments that stop infestations and prevent them from returning.
Why Gophers Are a Bigger Problem Than They Seem
Gophers may be small, but the damage they cause can be surprisingly extensive. They spend most of their time underground, tunneling through soil in search of roots and other plant material. That means they’re not just affecting how your yard looks—they’re attacking it from below.
Here’s what we often see when gophers are active:
- Random dirt mounds are scattered across the lawn
- Plants that suddenly wilt or die
- Soft, uneven ground that feels unstable underfoot
- Damage to sprinkler or irrigation lines
- Ongoing issues that seem to spread week after week
Left alone, a single gopher can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. And in areas like Hemet, where outdoor spaces are a big part of everyday living, that damage can be frustrating—and expensive.

A Heroic Approach to Pest ProtectionWe stay one step ahead with proactive solutions designed to keep unwanted pests out for good.
Careful Inspection of Your Property
Every yard is different, so we start by taking a close look at what’s happening. We identify active burrows, fresh mounds, and areas where damage is most severe. This helps us understand how widespread the problem is and where to focus our efforts.
Targeted Removal
Once we’ve located the active tunnels, we use proven methods to remove the gophers efficiently. Because these pests stay underground, it’s important to work within their tunnel system—not just treat what’s visible on the surface.
Preventing Future Problems
Removing the gopher is only part of the solution. We also help reduce the chances of future activity by addressing the conditions that attract them in the first place. That may include guidance on monitoring your yard and recognizing early warning signs.
Ongoing Support You Can Count On
We stand behind our work. Robbin’s Pest Control offers a 100% extermination guarantee, which means if the problem comes back, we come back too. That kind of support gives our customers peace of mind, especially with pests that can be persistent.
Signs You Might Need Gopher Control
Not every lawn issue is caused by gophers, but there are a few telltale signs that are hard to ignore.
Fresh Dirt Mounds
This is usually the first thing people notice. Gophers push soil up to the surface as they dig, leaving behind small mounds that can appear almost overnight.
Dying or Damaged Plants
If your plants are struggling despite proper watering and care, the problem might be underground. Gophers feed on roots, which can quickly weaken or kill plants.
Uneven or Soft Ground
Tunneling can leave parts of your yard unstable. You might notice areas that feel hollow or give slightly when you walk over them.
Irrigation Problems
If your sprinkler system suddenly isn’t working as expected, there’s a chance gophers have damaged underground lines.
If you’re seeing one or more of these signs, it’s a good idea to act sooner rather than later.

How to Reduce the Risk of Gophers Coming Back
While no method can guarantee gophers will never return, there are steps you can take to make your property less attractive to them.
Keep an Eye on Your Yard
Early detection makes a big difference. If you spot new mounds or unusual changes, addressing them quickly can prevent a larger issue.
Maintain Your Landscape
Healthy, well-maintained landscapes are less likely to attract pests. While gophers are mainly drawn to roots, keeping your yard in good shape can still help reduce activity.
Avoid DIY Guesswork
There are plenty of DIY solutions out there, but many only provide temporary relief—or don’t work at all. Without addressing the active burrow system, the problem usually comes back.
If you’re unsure what to do next, it’s always better to get a professional opinion.
