    Jason with the big gopher tearing up our yard. Caught in less than 48 hours!
    Kiandra J.

    Great company! One of the best companies ever! Will always encourage others to use them. Knowledgeable and great service. Jason is top tier and makes me proud to support small business.

    Gopher Caught

    DeAndre came out, quickly identified a gopher was causing all my front yard issues. He set up a trap, and in 2 days, the culprit was caught. Great communication with everything explained. It's a little pricey, but if you want the problem solved, Gopher Stop is the solution.

    Trap set

    Gopher Stop is the BEST. My husband and I started spotting little mountains of sand in our backyard. He noticed a mountain of sand next to our AC and we decided to look for help. While I was searching on Yelp, I came across Gopher Stop with 5 star reviews, we contacted them and they were able to assist us quick. We requested service and on Sunday we set the appointment and Wednesday morning DeAndre showed up, very kind, respectful, friendly, and very informative. He set up traps and today Friday morning came to pick them up, and yes we caught 3 gophers. We are very happy with the great service. Amazing job and very accurate. The value was super great. I truly recommend them. We are super satisfied with their job and we will request them and contact DeAndre if anything comes up again. Thank You Gopher Stop and Big Huge Thanks to DeAndre Blessings

    Finally! We have tried everything for months to stop this giant gopher in our front yard. Larry caught him AND two other gophers first try. Fast, professional service with great results, highly recommend.

    Sorry but you had to go!!!

    Best service, very professional and knowledgeable and communication was perfect! Aaron was our gopher whisperer!!! He guaranteed he would take care of our gopher problem and true to his word he did! He set traps and said he would back the next morning to remove the gopher and just like that it was done!!! Thank you Aaron for your great service and for removing the stressful gopher that was ruining our front, side and back yard causing us work and stress! I highly recommend Gopher Stop and Aaron to anyone with gopher or pest issues!!! Worth every penny!!!

    I can start by saying that this company was quickly responsive when I called and left a message for service. Aaron came out and was a pleasant man to speak to. Very professional. However, the cost and lack of gopher eradication is why I'm at a 3 star. The initial cost to come out, look for signs of gophers, and set traps was $275.00. Seemed steep, but I wanted my yard eradicated so I could enjoy my grass area. I believe 3 traps were set initially. I do live on the back side of a golf course as full disclosure. When Aaron returned, one trap had a gopher, and the other 2 traps had nothing. However, I was told that the traps had been activated, so something must have come along and eaten two of them. I was still charged $45 per empty trap. I did not think this was fair, but I thought, in the long run, I would be gopher free. Also, he said he could put poison in two places along the tunnels. That was a charge of $10 per spot, so another $20. Still had a gopher issue. When I called again, I was at the point where I felt like I'd already paid a good sum of money and all of that amounted to (if I recall) actually one gopher caught. This last time he came out, I was hesitant to want to use two or more $45 traps. Aaron suggested he could put down more poison. I thought, okay, let's try more poison. Only this time, instead of charging me $10 per area (3 areas), he said the price was $20 each area now. I did not understand how the price for poison jumped up to double. I paid the $60 because I was hoping to eradicate the gophers. Nope. The very expensive $60 poison remedy also did not work. I messaged Aaron again and was told that to just wait another week or so and "see". Welp. I saw. And I see. I see I still have the same level of gopher activity in my yard. I didn't contact Aaron again because the only thing that was eradicated was cash from my pocket.

    It's amazing how much dirt a gopher can move, the photo below is day 3 and the smallest of the 3 huge piles of excavated dirt from underneath our yard and driveway. Little lady built a Carlsbad Cavern replica in our place. Aaron knew what to do, calmed our nerves, and trapped the offender within a couple days. Prompt responsive service and well worth the price. Would recommend for others without hesitation, the service simply works.

    Do you also get rid of field mice because we have a problem with both?

    We offer gopher and mosquito service.

    I am a senior on a fixed income. I have gophers every year. Is there something I can spread on my lawn that will repel the gophers? Any ideas, that are reasonable?

    I don' t know if the holes in are yard are due to gophers, ground squirrels, or rabbits (we definitely have rabbits and squirrels in our yard). Can you take care of rabbits and squirrels, too, or only gophers?

    I know you are all about the gophers but I was wondering if you install fencing that would work to keep both gophers AND snakes (1/4 inch) around the perimeter of my backyard?

    Great question Michael. We recommend contacting any local trenching or concrete service for that type of work. It can be labor intensive and having the proper equipment can make a big difference. Gopher Stop uses “state of the art” traps and… Read more

    Why are the gophers in the neighborhood only ruining my yard?

    This is a great question! Many people feel like they are the only ones affected by gophers. Gophers are wild animals and they seem to choose where they live at random. There are three specific elements required to have a gopher in your yard: 1.… Read more

    While the staff at Homeshield Pest Control have always been pleasant and I appreciate their use of…read morenatural treatments, I've been extremely disappointed with their lack of support in resolving our ongoing mice problem. Over the past two years, we've spent a significant amount of money with Homeshield to replace attic insulation and treat our home for rodent mites caused by repeated mouse infestations. Our insulation warranty was supposed to include service to prevent mice from re-entering the attic, yet new openings continue to appear and remain unaddressed. Each time an inspection is done, it takes weeks to schedule a follow-up appointment to actually seal the openings. Recently, after hearing mice again--now with a newborn in our home--we contacted Homeshield immediately. A technician quickly confirmed there were openings near our A/C line that needed to be patched, but for two weeks we were told they couldn't schedule the repair because the technician hadn't submitted the required diagram. When an appointment was finally scheduled, no repair was done--only additional traps were placed in the attic. After escalating the issue, we were told a manager could come re-inspect the home, but not until nearly a month after the initial report. At this point, I'm frustrated by the lack of follow-through and the amount of time I've had to spend chasing updates. We are simply not receiving the service promised under our insulation warranty and monthly maintenance plan, and we will likely be switching vendors soon. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend Homeshield Pest Control.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw that something had been chewing on my carpet and my wooden door. This is when we started to get concerned. We called our pest company to have them check out what was happening but when they came, they simple gave us some traps where they can get stuck. Throughout this whole ordeal, none of the traps that they gave us and we bought were ineffective. Fast forward a couple of days later, the rodent moved from my room to a smaller room where my dad likes to take a nap. He woke up in a panic because the rodent was on top of his blanket. This is when I decided to look for a company that takes care of rodents. I looked up on yelp and spent hours reading reviews and ended up choosing 360 rodent control. When I sent a message, they replied right away and got me on the phone to set up an appointment for a free inspection (Thank you Lee for coordinating this). Micah came in for the free inspection and spent the entire 2 hours thoroughly checking our entire house. Our house was built in 1940 and we bought it in 2012 so I understand that there's a lot of work that needs to be done. He pointed out the potential rodent entry points, checked our attic, our crawl spaces, etc and showed me some pictures and videos for evidence that we do have a rodent problem. Before ending the inspection, Micah sat down with me and told me the issues that I am having and was honest about what needed to be done. No upselling whatsoever. He was just honest about it. When I asked him about about how much this would cost me, I hesitated for a little but I was glad that they have financing options that would fit my budget. In exchange for my peace of mind, I decided to rodent proof my house with them. He explained to me what they were exactly going to do. During the day of exclusion, George, Jose, and Santiago came out to our residence at 8:45 am. They explained to me what they were going to do and did exactly what they said. They worked diligently and left our residence at 2:45 pm. I am hoping that we won't have this problem anymore. We will follow up with them in a week to see any progress. Thank you 360 rodent control team!

We had them out, they told me a price, and explained that I would be shown the dead animals before being charged and then we scheduled service. They charge a service fee per visit and then a fee per animal killed on top of that. I thought that was a little bit of an odd model, but I didn't think it was bad, so I agreed. They came, buried the traps, and then returned in a week. I got an email invoice showing a charge. Nobody showed me any gophers or anything. I politely mentioned this when the boss came back and he apologized, reset the traps and said he'd see me the next week. They came back and said they caught more and showed me a little grainy photo of a dead animal that could have been taken anywhere at any time. Every time they visited, they tried to get me to sign up for a monthly fee that makes no sense. It gives an insignificant discount on the catch fee. Overall the subscription fee would add up to much more than the discount. It makes no sense. After the 3rd time I declined, they ghosted me completely. There was no conflict, there was no complaint from me (other than the polite mention that I didn't know they caught anything the first time.) They just reset their traps and never returned. I've emailed, and called and nobody has replied. Their traps are still buried in my backyard. It's been about 6 months. And before you reply, business owner: It's too late. Don't bother.

That works for them and me because sometimes there will be months between any need to have them out. Highly recommend.
