Gopher Control in Columbus, Ohio

Columbus’s Burrowing Pest Professionals Since 1932

If you’re seeing mounds, ridges, or dead patches in your Columbus yard, something is tunneling below the surface. Most Central Ohio homeowners call it a gopher problem, but the animal is almost never a pocket gopher. Ohio’s burrowing pests are typically moles, voles, or groundhogs, and each one requires a different treatment approach. Getting the identification right is the first step toward addressing the problem.

We’ve helped more than 10,000 residential and commercial customers across the region with exactly this kind of work. We know Central Ohio’s burrowing pests, and we know how to tell them apart before recommending anything.

How Our Burrowing Pest Control Service Works

Every job starts with an inspection. Our trained technicians assess the damage patterns, entry points, and tunnel locations to confirm which animal is actually present. A raised surface ridge points toward moles. Narrow runways through grass suggest voles. A large entrance hole near your deck or garden edge is more likely a groundhog. That distinction matters because trapping a mole won’t address a vole problem, and neither approach addresses a groundhog.

Once we’ve identified the pest, we build a customized treatment plan. Depending on the species and the size of the infestation, that plan may include trapping, baiting, or exclusion methods. Trapping works well for smaller, contained populations. More established infestations may call for a combination of approaches. We follow up after treatment to confirm whether activity has stopped and whether new tunneling has begun.
