Great communication, came out and installed traps. They caught two gophers in the first week. I would definitely use their service again.

Got a gopher problem? Call these guys first! Lamorinda Gopher was great and resolved our gopher problem, at least for now. From call to resolution, I estimated about 6 weeks. They ended up catching two gophers. They came out a couple of days after I called. I took some pictures of the areas of gopher activity, and described the location. They came out and set up a few traps in those locations. The first set of traps didn't catch anything, so they moved the traps to another location further up the hill. That seem to work and they quickly caught 2 gophers within a couple of weeks. We'll keep an eye out for future activity as new gophers may move in. Overall, Lamorinda Gopher was very reasonably priced. They were responsive and got results quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone dealing with gophers, moles and voles in their yard. I hope gophers don't return, but if they do, I know who to call first! read more

I am a very happy customer. I got lucky and had both a mole and a gopher making quick work of my front and backyard. I tried some amazon traps and sonar spear thingys, and then got smart and called Dave the Lamorinda Gopher Guy. He was the most reasonably priced and also the most realistic service provider I could find. He didn't make me commit to a 6-month subscription model package but charged me per critter! Just what I wanted and needed. His tech (Grant) killed the mole within 4 days! And the gopher is now dead 3 weeks from first appointment. Grant just left my house after burying the gopher in one of it's deep holes (this makes other gophers stay away apparently) and I was excited to write this review. Thank you Dave & Grant for giving me my yard back! read more

Lamorinda Gopher - this is the damage that little f***er caused! not anymore, he's dead! - Pest Control Near Me

We tried two different companies to get rid of our gophers. One claimed to have caught one but the tunnels continued to increase. The second one was rude and did not wear a mask, so we terminated them after the first service. Then we discovered David. Figured we had nothing to loose! David set the traps, and checked on them daily. When he didn't catch the gopher, he relocated and added more traps. Soon, he caught the big fat gopher, and we have had no issues since then. Much appreciated! read more

Delivers as promised! I had a critter in my front lawn that dug up several unsightly burrows. I found Dave online and had a text exchange with him. He diagnosed the problem as a mole and offered to set traps for his standard fee. After his tech set up the traps, they caught the mole within a week and retrieved their equipment. Fortunately I haven't had a problem since then. Dave was especially courteous over text message and was willing to share his expertise and the equipment he uses. I'd recommend this company for anyone who needs an assist with lawn-destroying critters. read more

These guys were great! Able diagnose what type of critter we had based on pictures of the holes/mounds they made. Easy and quick to communicate with. Never met in person, so lots of personal time saved. Gopher was caught in less than 2 weeks! read more

"Lamorinda Gopher was incredibly efficient in catching the varmint plaguing my property. Within no time, they had the situation under control, demonstrating their expertise and dedication to solving pest problems promptly. Highly impressed with their swift and effective service!" read more

They use college kids that don't have much experience to do the work. It was a waste of several months with nothing caught and the hard is in horrible condition now. read more

While they were unable to capture the mole that was digging through my yard, they came out weekly until no more activity was seen. Will call them again next spring if the mole reappears. read more

Dave is the rare business person who cares more solving a customer's problem than what's in it for him to make it buck. And when it comes to this critter issues, his company is better than all the others we've tried. Not only is Dave knowledgeable, but he's super personable and made several trips personally to our yard to make sure the traps were set properly & that the gopher was removed. I would give more stars if I could. read more

David was amazing. He's very knowledgeable and dedicated. His price was superior. He came out to my house at least 5 times and even had to set up a video camera to catch the pesky golpher. Once done, he refused to take a tip. He was very patient, explained his work, and even gave me a link in case I wanted to do it myself in the future. He's the man. read more

If you have a gopher problem, look no further. David's service is cost-effective, efficient, and will quickly address your gopher problem. We had previously used a larger company who charged a monthly fee to set traps that were only checked twice a month. It took almost two months to trap one gopher. Ultimately we ended up breaking that contract and canceled the service due the inefficiency of their methods. A few months later, I discovered new gopher mounds in our front yard and contacted David. He came out the next morning, analyzed the mounds, and with his extensive knowledge about gopher behavior strategically placed the trap. Later that afternoon, he returned to check the trap and out found our culprit. You can't get more efficient than this. He followed up for a few days to make sure there were no other gophers. We are still gopher free today but will definitely be using his service again if new gophers decide to visit! read more

Dave is great! Responded quickly to our request and came out to our property the next morning. Within hours of setting up traps we caught the gopher that was destroying our backyard. When he came back out he taught us how to set up traps since it will be a recurring problem where we live. Service was fantastic, can't recommend Dave enough! read more

I called David in the evening. He came the next morning and set traps. He had caught a very large gopher by that afternoon. Great service! read more

Here is what I have to say: 1. Day 1--called the owner Dave, he explained how he did his work and went over a very simple fee schedule, we set up a next day appt. no 4hr waiting time range 2. Day 2, Dave gave me ETA updates and showed up on time as we agreed. He reviewed my gopher and mole issue and explained how the rodents behave, what he was going to do, and how the traps work. He set 6 traps and left. 3. Day 3 & 4- Dave called and asked if I noticed any trap activity-- none, he said he would come back over and move traps if needed. 5. Day 5-- morning trap triggered victory achieved. Dave came over about an hour later and took care of cleanup. Dave is great, he is a pro and most of all he does what he says he is going to do--hard to find in most businesses. Best of all my expensive lemon tree can relax and I can look forward to completing my landscaping. read more

They did a great job removing moles quickly. Good communications. Will use them again.

Lamorinda Gopher is great! They caught 2 moles after setting traps. Dave and his crew have been very responsive and helpful.

I had a very serious gopher, and apparently a small moce problem on an acre of land in Orinda next to open space. Mr. Gopher's approach is based in understanding of the animals behavior, it is simple and highly effective. I have hired three other gopher removal services all of which were expensive and in effective. They made a major impact in a matter of weeks, and they keep newcomers in check. Just to give you an idea of my problem, the very first week Mr. Gopher eliminated (ok killed) 12 gopher. Great service! read more

This company is one I would use again in a second. They follow up and are effective. I have been battling a gopher or more for 5 months. Checked everything you can on You Tube. Bought those crazy noise sticks that don't work. I ran up the flag and called based on Yelp reviews. Finally got our gopher minutes after the traps were reset and put back into the tunnels after finding a new one (I didn't think there was any dirt left under the surface to make a new one as there were at least 6 tunnels already made). I was staining a wood chair when I heard "click" nearby and texted it in. That was it. Gopher tried to get around existing traps and made a new line. LG moved the trap into the tunnel. It didn't take more than 1/2 hour after the trap was set into the new tunnel. No more plants mysteriously falling over. If and when the "replacements" come back I'm calling them to come back. read more

I am so happy we chose them to help us with our gopher problem. Before I reached out to Dave, I felt like the gophers would never go away. Now, less than a month later, no more gopher troubles. Dave's communication via text was great and the technicians were quick yet thorough. I wish all homeowner challenges were this easy to solve. I am definitely going to recommend Lamorinda Gopher to my neighbors. Thanks Dave and team! read more

Working with David was a breath of fresh air. I was so used to dealing with monthly contracts for gopher abatement without tangible results. I never really knew if the gophers were active or inactive. Working with Dave solved that issue. I cancelled my subscription and decided to try Lamorinda Gopher's pay per approach. Within a week I had both of my gophers trapped and off my property. Needless to say I was extremely happy with the service and results... No more pricey contracts read more

Gopher Dave is the man. Gopher was destroying the area. I tried the humane traps for a while, but that didn't cut it. He got him within a day and even showed me how do DIY next time. His pricing was also far more reasonable than other major exterminator services. No brainer decision. read more

We live next to open space in Lamorinda and have an influx of gophers and moles each summer. In the past I have trapped them myself but this summer we had a gopher and mole that I just couldn't catch. David used specialized traps and techniques to catch both these elusive rodents and did it in a humane and environmentally sensitive fashion. David is a super-responsive and personable guy and solved our problem quickly and affordably. I highly recommend Lamorinda Gopher! read more

Dave did a great job catching our gophers! He is very professional and provides fast and excellent service. We couldn't be happier, he saved our garden! read more
