Gopher control using trapping only — no poisons, no chemicals, no risk to your dogs, cats, or children. Serving Ontario with a 60-day guarantee.
Ontario's grid-planned residential neighborhoods built on former citrus and grape agricultural land retain the deep, organically rich soils that fruit cultivation created — and that gophers thrive in. The transformation of agricultural land to residential use throughout Ontario over the past several decades has pushed gopher populations into remaining residential landscaping. Properties in south Ontario and the older central neighborhoods near Euclid Avenue frequently deal with gophers that have been present in the soil for generations.
Ontario's newer residential communities in the north — particularly those along the 210 freeway corridor — were developed on graded terrain with imported soil, which creates different conditions than the older parts of the city. Both environments support gophers, but treatment timing and approach differ. In newly graded areas, gopher populations establish quickly from adjacent undeveloped land. In established Ontario neighborhoods, the tunnel systems are often extensive and require systematic trapping to fully clear.
Ontario has several active HOA communities, particularly in the newer northern residential areas. The Colonies development and similar planned communities in north Ontario have shared greenbelts and common turf areas that require ongoing gopher management. These shared spaces are used daily by residents walking dogs and children playing — making chemical-free trapping the only appropriate management approach for common areas in family-oriented communities.
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 Ontario 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 Ontario 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 →Ontario's history as the Inland Empire's agricultural heart — dairy farms, citrus groves, and row crops — created deep, enriched soil that supports large gopher populations. The Cucamonga Creek corridor runs through residential neighborhoods, providing a natural wildlife highway from mountain foothills to valley floor.
The Airport area flatlands in eastern Ontario sit on former dairy land where decades of organic enrichment created perfect tunneling soil. Mountain view estates above Euclid Avenue face migration from foothill open space. Even Ontario's newer developments on former agricultural parcels inherit the gopher populations that thrived in the farm era.
