Trust Our Experts for Effective Lake Forest Gopher Control

Lake Forest’s well-irrigated residential yards, mature landscaping, and proximity to open hillsides and natural trail corridors make it one of the more gopher-prone communities in South Orange County. Soft soil, healthy root systems, and easy access from surrounding open land give gophers everything they need to move in and get comfortable—and once they do, the damage happens fast. If you’re seeing fresh mounds pushing up through your lawn, plants wilting without explanation, or soft spots forming in the yard, gophers are almost certainly the cause.

Preventive Pest Control eliminates gopher activity in Lake Forest using three targeted methods—and we choose the right approach based on what we actually find on your property:

Trapping: Our technicians locate the active main tunnel system, set professional-grade traps in the right positions, and monitor closely with return visits until the gopher is confirmed caught. Many Lake Forest properties see results within the first few days of treatment.
Baiting: Bait formulated to target gopher biology is placed directly into the main burrow for precise, targeted elimination. Particularly effective for properties that border open land or trail areas, where gophers repeatedly move in from surrounding terrain.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment: For yards with multiple interconnected tunnel systems, our CO machine fills the entire burrow network with gas that dissipates cleanly after treatment — a completely pet-friendly, poison-free solution that’s highly effective for more complex infestations.

No two properties are the same, which is why every Lake Forest gopher control plan is customized to fit your specific yard and the extent of gopher activity we find. Our Mission Viejo team serves homes and businesses throughout Lake Forest and the surrounding Orange County area. If gophers are making a mess of the yard you’ve worked hard to maintain, we’re the team with the experience and the tools to put a stop to it.
