I can't recommend Nathan at Tri Valley Trapper highly enough. I had a single mole that was absolutely destroying my lawn. Before finding Nathan, I had already worked with another trapper who wasn't able to catch it. This mole was incredibly sneaky and seemed to avoid every trap that was set. What impressed me most about Nathan was that he didn't take a "set it and forget it" approach. He came out every 2-3 days to inspect new activity, adjust his strategy, move traps, reset triggered traps, and track the mole's changing patterns. He was constantly evaluating what was happening and adapting his approach rather than just waiting and hoping for results. It took about 10 days to finally catch the mole, and there were several close calls along the way, but Nathan never gave up. His persistence, knowledge, and attention to detail are ultimately what got the job done. Beyond his trapping skills, Nathan was professional from start to finish. He always gave me a heads-up before arriving, showed up when he said he would, and was friendly and courteous throughout the entire process. I also asked him countless random mole questions, and he always took the time to answer them patiently and explain what he was seeing in the yard. I know my job was relatively small, and probably frustrating at times, but Nathan treated it like it mattered. His attitude never changed, and his commitment to solving the problem was obvious from day one. If you're dealing with a difficult mole problem and want someone who is proactive, knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely committed to getting results, Nathan is your guy! read more

Came when he said he would and set trap. Came back and had already caught the golpher

Nathan knows what he is doing - he is very professional, no nonsense, explains the process, the expectations, pricing and goes about his business. He removed a gopher that was wrecking our lawn within no time. We are very happy with his service and highly recommend him. read more

Nate is very helpful. Reliable and gets the job done correctly. He got one within 2-3 minutes of setting the trap last time he was out. Highly recommended. 10/10. I just let him go in the yard and handle business. Great work. read more

The most reliable and effective lawn pests removal services you can hire. Nate is an expert. I had a mole problem, moles are very difficult to get rid of but Nate was able to trap them and eliminate the little boggers. If you are tired of mounds, and holes in your lawn this is the guy to call. I have used other much more expensive services with no results. Nate gets the job done. read more

Nathan knowns what he's doing and was quite efficient at trapping the gopher tearing up the front lawn of the house. He could tell how many we had to trap. Fair pricing too. read more

Nathan is the real deal. We had THREE gophers, one in the backyard and two in the front, and he trapped them all in under two weeks. Our yard and plants are happy. He is extremely professional. No contracts, pay an up front fee and a final fee when he traps them. Examples of additional fees would be if he finds more gophers or if there are a lot of visits involved. He visited four times in under two weeks, it would have been quicker but the third gopher appeared later on. Wow. Great service. Most other places would not check up that frequently. Communication is great, he would text me the night before or a couple hours before he visits so I can make sure he can get in the backyard. Could have done it myself - the gophers love my poor track record - or use a pro like Nathan! Thank you! read more

Every year I call Nathan when I see a gopher mound. He is always reliable, enjoyable and takes care of business with EXPERTISE! Plus Nathan is reasonably priced! I highly recommend his services. read more

I heard Nathan had a special skill with gophers. He is a true expert- he got five moles and a gopher in under 3 weeks! We have front and back sprawling lawns here in Lafayette and they had created a maze over decades with their travels so it was difficult to pinpoint location in the tunnel network but he knew their behavior signs and tracked them down. He's determined and efficient. Very personable, trustworthy, friendly! read more

I tried many things to get rid of whatever it was chewing up my lawn. It was bad. Tri Valley Trapper came by, explained everything, set trap for gopher. Came back few days later and it was done! No more gopher. Call him, he knows his stuff. Decent price. read more

I have always been successful getting rid of gophers on my own. This time I had to give up and hire a professional to save my lawn. Nathan is the absolute best, very professional, explains the process, the expectations, pricing and goes about his business. I highly recommend Nathan for Gopher and Mole removal along with other critters you may have causing trouble in your yard. read more

Nathan is the best. I have used him in the past. He successfully neutralized the mole who was wreacking havoc in my backyard. Today I discovered new mole mound and I texted Nathan. He happened to be in my area and he asked if he could come by and of course I said Yes. He came by a few minutes later and is helping me get rid of another mole. read more

I highly recommend Tri Valley Trapper. Nathan trapped a mole in one of our church campus lawns, and a gopher in our courtyard in September. Last week he trapped another mole. He was able to trap all three within a week of setting the traps. As a retired biologist, I have trapped both moles and gophers in past years, but Nathan's expertise and success far exceeds mine. Trapping is final while poisoning is not. Unfortunately with poisoning, you don't know if you killed the critter, or he just moved to another location on your property. The last mole Nathan trapped had infested two lawns before we called him. Also, Tri Valley Trapper prices are much lower than the other companies I checked with before hiring Nathan. He is always on time, and he is a really nice guy as well. Next time we have a problem, we are calling him again. read more

Nathan was super responsive and showed up quickly and on time always. Very competitive and straight forward pricing. Got the job done in a day. Would highly recommend. read more

First time reviewer here! Just wanted to share how great Nate is! I began seeing little dirt piles in my backyard, and suspected a mole or gopher. I called Nate on a Monday morning and wasn't able to reach him. Within an hour, he called me back and we set up a time for him to come the next day, look at the holes, make an assessment, and place some traps based on his findings. He showed up on time, was super friendly and knowledgeable, and explained the pricing and procedures he'd follow to catch the mole. He placed 4 traps on Tuesday morning and came back that following Thursday and low and behold.......he caught the culprit! I'm telling you - this guy is the real deal! His ratings speak for themselves. Give Nate a call if you have a mole or gopher problem! You won't be disappointed! read more

Repeat customer here. Nathan really knows his stuff and is such a pro at tracking down gophers and understanding their behaviors and patterns. We get quite a few gophers and we would continuously stress over catching them. Unfortunately, not all gophers are easy to catch and they would ruin our lawn, so I decided to call up Nathan. This man is GOOD! He tracks them down quicker than we ever could and we get immediate results without the stress or frustration. I definitely don't hesitate to call in Nathan every time i see a new mound of dirt. Thanks Nathan! read more

Nathan is incredible at what he does. I feel lucky to have found his services. My entire backyard was being shredded. Within a week he trapped a few, and my problem disappeared. He is such a nice and friendly person too. read more

5 out of 5. That is the number of stars I give Nathan and Tri Valley. It also happens to be the number of traps he set in my back yard and the number of gophers he trapped. I am VERY happy and would use this service again. read more

Nathen is always there when we need quick gopher control. Very reliable and reasonable.

Just had Nathan come by to trap a mole that has been tearing up my front lawn for 3 weeks. I had tried all kinds of store bought solutions but nothing worked to get rid of this mole. Instead, every morning, I'd be greeted by yet another couple of dirt piles in the middle of my nice lawn. Unlike so many other companies I called, Nathan returned my call promptly and committed to come by the next day. Nathan was on time and ready to go. He professionally checked out my lawn and showed me that I was definitely dealing with a mole (I thought it was maybe a gopher). Nathan placed 8 traps and was careful to disturb my lawn and plantings as little as possible. The next morning - no new dirt piles. The next day, same story. Success! Nathan returned when he said he would to check the traps (2 days later) and dug out the now deceased mole. My nemesis was no more. My lawn could breathe easy. Nathan checked all the traps and promised that if I saw any other mole signs over the next week, he'd come back as part of his original engagement with no additional costs. It's good to find a professional whose as good as their word and keeps commitments. Nathan's the guy! read more

I have had gophers. Managed too spend a few hundred on various store remedies over a few years, in trying to get rid of them and even got a few, but it was frustrating guess work. So, now I get some fresh mounds in my front yard. Did a yelp, and put a call into a larger company leaving my info. For a call back. None came. I called Nate's number, but hung up after about 6 rings. Shortly after, he called back left a message to call or text. Never did get a response from other, so I decided to give Nate a try. After a brief phone description where I said I had some moles, near a palm tree. He quickly said most likely a gopher with a palm tree. I knew that, but had mistakenly said gopher. So I knew he knows something. He shows up in 10 minutes. It was interesting to see his take on my situation. He pointed out quite a bit I had never noticed. It really made sense once he explained it. So, we sign an agreement, he does his thing. In less than 48 hrs he's back and bam! gopher trapped! So well worth it! read more

After trying multiple remedies I called Nathan. Two traps, one day and the gopher was gone!!! He's the best!!! Friendly and does exactly what he says! Thanks Nathan!! read more

I tried for a month to get the gopher that was wrecking my front lawn. After trying various methods to get rid of the animal, I gave up and called Nathan at Tri Valley Trapper. He was responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he got results. He set his trap on Thursday, came back the following Monday to check and......got it! I'm so happy now that the critter is gone. Tri Valley Trapper was reasonably priced and effective. I'll definitely contact Nathan again if I have a future problem. read more

Super happy with the results! I don't know who his competition is or what prices they charge but I have no reason to seek out any other outfit. Nathan was very prompt and professional, what I liked most was his clear communication on the plan, it's execution and when he would follow up. Thanks for the help. read more

After a gopher was tearing up our brand new lawn we tried all kinds of store-bought remedies w/ no luck. Nathan came out, set the trap, came back 3 days later to check it and sure enough he caught the gopher! His pricing was great and after talking to several companies over the phone, he comes out much more frequently to check the traps than the other companies! I will definitely be contacting him again if any new unwanted gophers or moles visit my yard in the future. read more

Nate is the MAN when it comes to catching critters! We had an obnoxious mole about a month ago who was caught in 2 days, and just this week a gopher decided to join the party. He was caught in 1 day!

Tri Valley Trapper - nathan: the tri valley trapper - Pest Control Near Me

See all

Call this guy - don't waste any of your time trying to get rid of your gopher problem - just call him instead. We had a gopher that was ruining our back yard and digging around and behind a stacked stone wall causing lots of problems. Nathan came the day we called and deployed a trap - 48 hours later he removed the dead gopher and neatly repaired the holes where the trap had been. Super friendly and very professional. He also looked at another spot where something had dug a hole under our storage shed. Rather than charge us to set a trap he recommended filling in the hole to see if the animal cleared it out again because he thought it looked unoccupied - he was right and so saved us some money. The price for the gopher removal was very reasonable and very worth it! He will be our go-to guy if we ever need this service again. read more

I got more sophisticated in getting rid of gophers this year - except one that did not want to go away. Nathan came in one day and two days later it was gone. Nathan traps and does not use poison - which is great for my pets. read more
