If you’re seeing fresh mounds, soft spots in the lawn, or sudden damage to plants and irrigation lines, you may be dealing with an active gopher problem. Mitch’s Gopher Control provides professional gopher control in Ballard, CA with targeted, humane solutions designed to eliminate gophers in the tunnel system—not just at the surface.
With over 50 years of combined hands-on experience, we help protect residential yards, vineyards, orchards, ranches, pastures, and large estates throughout Ballard and the Santa Ynez Valley. Our work is focused, efficient, and designed to reduce reinfestation and ongoing property damage.
Gophers can cause extensive damage in a short amount of time. Their underground tunnel systems may weaken soil structure and quietly destroy landscaping before you notice the full extent of the issue.
Our approach is built around treating complete tunnel networks instead of chasing isolated mounds. Using specialized equipment and proven carbon monoxide treatment methods, we address active gophers where they live and feed—underground.
Why this method works: treating the tunnel system helps eliminate active gophers efficiently and supports longer-term protection by reducing continued activity across the property.
Our treatments are designed to be pet safe when properly applied and are performed with care for the surrounding landscape and non-target wildlife. We tailor every service to the type of property and the scope of activity—whether it’s a small yard in Ballard or a multi-acre agricultural site.

If new activity occurs within one week of your service, we’ll return and charge only in 15-minute increments.
