Gopher control using trapping only — no poisons, no chemicals, no risk to your dogs, cats, or children. Serving Fontana with a 60-day guarantee.
Fontana's rapid residential growth has created extensive gopher habitat at the interface between new development and the open land surrounding the city. The foothills along the northern edge of Fontana — particularly neighborhoods near Summit Avenue and Citrus Avenue — border undeveloped scrubland that supports large native gopher populations. When adjacent land is converted to irrigated residential use, gophers follow the irrigation water and the root systems that come with it.
New construction in Fontana also brings imported soil — often with composition that differs significantly from native soil — which can create unpredictable results with bait-based gopher control. Professional trapping doesn't depend on soil type or the gopher's willingness to encounter bait; it works mechanically in any soil condition. For Fontana's newest developments where soil conditions are variable and pet populations are high in family-oriented neighborhoods, trapping is the reliable choice.
Fontana's newest master-planned communities in the north and east — areas developed in the past decade along the Foothill communities — have active HOAs managing large common areas of turf and landscaping. These shared spaces require gopher control methods that don't create safety concerns for the children and pets that use them. Trapping allows common area treatment to continue uninterrupted while residents use parks and greenbelts normally.
Gophers spend nearly their entire lives underground. Watch for these indicators:
The sooner treatment begins after you notice signs, the smaller the tunnel system will be and the faster the problem is resolved.
All gopher control service in Fontana is backed by a 60-day guarantee. If gopher activity returns during the guarantee period, the technician returns at no additional charge.
Monthly and quarterly maintenance service for Fontana properties is available without long-term contracts. Cancel any time.
Most conventional gopher control uses rodenticide bait toxic to dogs, cats, and wildlife. Trapping eliminates gophers with no surface chemicals — the only safe choice for pet-occupied yards.

Read guide →Fontana's transformation from citrus groves to residential subdivisions displaced gopher populations from agricultural land into neighborhood yards. The San Bernardino Mountains foothills above northern Fontana and the Jurupa Hills to the south create migration pressure from two directions simultaneously.
The Kaiser area and newer developments in northern Fontana were built on former citrus grove land where established gopher populations have thrived for decades. The deep, well-drained soil from the mountain alluvial fan makes tunneling easy, and year-round irrigation in residential landscaping provides moisture that draws gophers from drier surrounding areas.

Former citrus groves converted to subdivisions left established gopher populations. San Bernardino Mountains foothills and Jurupa Hills create migration pressure from two directions.
Yes. We use underground trapping only. No poisons, no chemicals. Safe for all pets and children.
Kaiser area, North Fontana foothills, and Jurupa Hills border areas see heaviest pressure from mountain and hillside migration.
Most Fontana properties require 2-4 weeks. Former citrus grove areas may have denser tunnel systems requiring longer treatment.
