we hired this man last summer to help us on our farm with some gophers. He had pink flags and was attempting to trap gophers around our family garden and play structure. Well, the four-year-old daughter moved one of the pink flags and caused this man to quit and then take us to small claims court. He’s scary and aggressive. Stay away from this company.

GREAT. You could not ask for more from a service company. On time, dependable and they get the job done. Their prices are similar to other trapping services. I have tried all the others and Gopher is the best by far.

Caught multiple gophers. Services are needed on an on-going basis for us, gophers keep finding their way back to our yard.

The traps were set, the wait was on. Soon those little critters had met their match. After the first round, a second one was needed. That was last year - scared them so bad - not a one came this year!

Great. They were very quick to respond and the guy who came out was very informative. He search around the yard they put the traps where he felt they needed to be, 2 weeks later he caught one. He left the traps for 2 more weeks but there were no more gophers. We were very pleased.

We contracted with Gopher Patrol from 09/2015 - 10/2016. The relationship at first was great. Our business was on a regular route. The traps were set and regularly checked by their gopher specialist. We decided to sign another 6 month contract. That's when things started to fall apart. During the second 6 month contract, they did not come out for a couple of months. When we called to ask why, they stated our normal route guy was moved to a different route We were then promised that our contract would be extended to December. They also stated that it was an additional rate to be on a regular route. Needless to say, the service was cancelled and we will be finding another company to use. The pricing I thought was fair. Total cost of 6 month contract was $225 plus $35 for each animal caught.

Alex responded promptly and set up traps in the back yard. A mole was trapped the very first day, and Alex returned periodically to check and reset the traps, eventually taking one more mole out of the backyard. We had a fresh mole attack a few weeks later in the front yard, and Alex quickly returned to set up in the front. It took a little longer to get that mole, but Alex was persistent. Prompt, efficient, and pleasant to deal with. This is the second year I've contracted with them.

A couple of years ago, I started having problems with gopher/moles in my front yard and flower beds.  They made a mess of the yard and tunneled excessively in our flower beds.  I tried smoke bombs, poison, everything I could think of... without success!  I called Gopher Patrol and within a few weeks, Matt came caught 1 or 2 critters and made things much more bearable.  Over the past year, Gopher Patrol has continued to provide me with great service in a timely and extremely professional manner.  I highly recommend if you have a gopher/mole problem, give Alex or Matt a call and let them help you make your problem go away!

Dude came by (Matt?) and set 3 traps. Saw it was probably only 1 gopher doing damage and adjusted my quote down. Honored Angie's list coupon of 5% off. Came back 3 days later to check the trap and pulled a dead gopher out of a hole. Mission accomplished. Very friendly. Expensive critter but won't complain about the service. I would recommend.

They did an good job of catching moles. However, they charged me $70 additional for catching two moles. I did not understand that they would charge extra. I will try a different service and fully understand the charges.
Response from Gopher Patrol
"This customer bought the offer described below. Copied and pasted from our storefront. Not sure how he missed $35 additional for each mole/gopher caught. In our opinion throwing D's out there on us is not appropriate as he did not read his agreement. Not sure how we could make this more clear. Here is the link to purchase: (same thing Mr. Meyers signed up for) http://deals.angieslist.com/deal/?storefrontitemid=299721&source=2&forceSync=1 This Offer Includes: Here's the Deal: $150 for complete consultation and set up for 3 months of gopher or mole removal service Service call includes inspection, consultation, and plan of action for dealing with gophers or moles Includes consultation and the set-up of traps only. There is a $35 fee for each animal caught. Technician will return as necessary inside of 90 days to replace and/or relocate traps. The Real Deal:Since the "Pied Piper" is probably not available, you're going to have to choose another tactic to get rid of rodents! Use this offer to attack or prevent future problems."

id not trap any gophers until last week of service contract when one rodent caught. Coincidence?  At the beginning of service representative indicated mounds and tunnels suggested three-four moles were responsible.  He also indicated traps would be routinely checked two times weekly, but a minimum of once weekly.  Traps were never checked more than once a week. This continued despite traps being sprung the day following a representative visit.  One representative said the moles might be too small to catch which leads me to wonder why different traps were not used. I expressed my dissatisfaction with neighbors and friends and described the style of traps being used.  Without exception all people I consulted indicated they have previously used similar traps and found the results unsatisfactory. Now that I am better informed I will not be using this provider.  Had the contractor not caught the one mole the last week my rating of this experience would be an "F".
Response from Gopher Patrol
"She is correct, we didn't catch the mole right away as activity indicated the mole had moved off the property. We still came out to check routinely. Not twice a week as we would an active infestation. We were showing up to check on the property to nail the mole if it came back. Just as fast as moles move into a yard they can move out. Bad news is that they will usually come back. It was fortunate that the mole left as it wasn't able to cause any damage. Toward the end of our service a mole did show signs of activity and was promptly caught."
