Problems Caused by Gopher Bites

Since gophers spend so much of their time underground, interaction with humans is limited. Still, they will bite when they feel cornered or scared. Their teeth are not particularly sharp, but the pests can still break the skin. Gopher bite sites may swell and appear red or bruised. Individuals who have been bitten should clean the wound with soap, water, and a disinfectant to prevent infection.

Control & Removal

To minimize the risk of gopher bites, untrained individuals should never approach or handle gophers in the wild. When faced with a gopher problem, property owners are advised to contact a professional wildlife removal service to ensure their safety. The technicians at Critter Control know how to get rid of gophers and offer tips for keeping the pests away.

Your representatives make your company! They are knowledgable and responsive.  I was fortunate to have a great representative for several years.  When that changed, I was concerned that the new tech wouldn't be as well trained.  I am extreamly happy with my new tech and can say that all of the service employes have been outstanding.

The technician is very knowledgeable and courteous. He called in advance to notify me about an upcoming treatment. He inquires about any problems that I may have observed. He leaves a note to inform me that the appointment was completed.
