Professional gopher removal serving Riverside. No poisons, no chemicals — safe for dogs, cats, and children. 60-day guarantee.
Riverside's gopher removal needs are driven by the city's unique mix of residential environments — from established irrigated neighborhoods near the UC Riverside campus to the horse properties of Alessandro Heights and Woodcrest, and the newer developments near Box Springs Mountain Reserve. Each of these areas creates different gopher pressure profiles, but all share the same fundamental problem: year-round gopher activity in an irrigated landscape.
Gopher removal in Riverside requires a different approach than many other Southern California cities because of the prevalence of horse properties. Rodenticide bait — the most common alternative to trapping — is toxic to horses. Any property with horses, donkeys, goats, or other livestock must use trapping for gopher removal. There is no safe bait-based option for equine properties.
The Santa Ana River corridor through Riverside also creates wildlife movement routes that bring gophers into established neighborhoods from open areas along the river. Properties near the river, Fairmount Park, and the various open space areas throughout the city see consistent gopher pressure from these movement corridors throughout the year.

Look for companies that use trapping rather than bait — especially on properties with pets, horses, or children. Ask specifically whether the company uses rodenticide bait or trapping only. A company that uses trapping exclusively will be able to service any property type safely.
Generally no — pest control is typically considered a maintenance expense rather than a covered loss under standard homeowner's insurance. However, structural damage caused by gophers — such as irrigation line failure or slope damage — may be claimable depending on your policy. Consult your insurance provider for specifics.
