Gopher & Ground Squirrel Control in Ventura, CA
Ventura’s Oldest Locally Owned Pest Control Company, Serving Ventura County Since 1959
Southern California has a way of making gophers and ground squirrels seem harmless, even charming. But as a locally owned gopher control company that has served Ventura, CA, and the surrounding county since 1959, we know what these animals actually do to the properties where they settle. The pop-culture version is friendly. The real version burrows through your yard, destroys vegetation, and brings health risks onto your property.
Once you understand what you’re dealing with, it’s easy to see why so many Ventura County residents rely on Ventura Pest Control for gopher and ground squirrel control.
Gophers & Ground Squirrels: Health Hazards & Home Damage
These pests don’t look threatening, but the damage they cause is real. Gophers and ground squirrels burrow through yards, eat vegetation and roots, and leave behind a network of holes that ruins the landscaping you’ve worked to maintain. When populations grow, the problem compounds quickly.
The health risks matter just as much as the property damage. Gophers and ground squirrels spread harmful diseases to humans, particularly when populations are high. They also carry fleas onto your property, putting you and your pets at risk of flea-borne illness, including bubonic plague. That risk, not a physical confrontation with a protective animal, is the primary reason these pests shouldn’t be left unaddressed.

Our Services
When you trust Ventura Pest Control, you can know the job will be done right the first time.
Comprehensive Property Protection
Gophers and ground squirrels are skilled diggers. They can move onto your property from multiple directions, and DIY removal is both difficult and potentially hazardous. Ventura Pest Control offers gopher and ground squirrel control methods that are humane and effective for you and for the animals.
Our Treatment Methods
Every job starts with a thorough inspection, and it’s completely free, so there’s nothing to lose. Once we’ve assessed your property, we can recommend the treatment approach best suited to your situation. We offer live gopher and ground squirrel trapping as well as gopher baiting, where we locate the burrow and place bait directly inside it.
We also use the Gopher X Machine, which pumps carbon dioxide directly through the rodents’ tunnels and nesting areas to target burrowing gophers at the source. After treatment, we smooth the holes over so we can monitor for any future activity. All gopher and ground squirrel control services come with a 30-day guarantee.

Is It Possible to Completely Get Rid of Ground Squirrels?
Total eradication of ground squirrels is unlikely in most cases. They’re resilient, they live close to food sources and shelter, and new animals can migrate onto your property even after existing ones are removed. What professional pest control can do is significantly reduce their presence and protect your property from further damage.
Our services include:
- Property Assessment: We identify areas where ground squirrels are likely to burrow or feed.
- Deterrent Solutions: We implement humane deterrents and barriers to discourage them from nesting near your home.
- Ongoing Prevention: Regular maintenance and guidance to keep your property less attractive to ground squirrels.
Let us help you manage and reduce the impact of ground squirrels. Contact us today for a customized plan to help protect your home and landscape. (805) 301-5470
