Gopher Patrol

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.

The owner, Alex, is rude, threatening, has a racially derogatory remark on his Yelp COVID-19 response, calling it the "Chinese Virus Pandemic", so that gives you a picture of how the service is. I hired them to remove a mole in my yard for $265 for a 3 month service. The worker came out and set 2 traps. Two days later he removed 1 of the traps as nothing was caught. He came back 2 more time ( a week apart) and nothing was in the trap so he removed it and said that the yard was "cleared". I asked what that meant and he said he'd come back if there was any more activity. Then I got the bill. I asked what I was paying for if there were no traps in my yard anymore? The owner proceeded to make derogatory remarks accusing me of trying to skip out on the bill and that I was a deadbeat "whiner". He followed that up with more horrible emails, texts and voicemails. His worker Jayden then asked why I told his boss on him?? Very unprofessional group of pest workers if you ask me. I've filed a complaint with the BBB if you want to see the email string. I wrote a review about the poor service and he told me to take it down and that he'd see me in court. He clearly doesn't know what constitutes libel. I would beware of this company. I don't know how real his good reviews are.

I called about a mole in my yard in the evening, and they were there the vet next morning! Kevin is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this service.

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.

Very good, Alex knows what he's doing and we are very happy with Gopher Patrol.

Quickly responded. Removed the mole. Courteous. Diligent.

Great they sure knew how get those Gophers

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.

Great Job. I will have them back it needed.

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! Michael - Salem, Oregon

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.

Excellent. He started when he said he would and finished on time. Cleaned up all the deprie and left the work area as he found it. Excellent workmanship.

They got em - what more can I say!

Gopher Patrol was thorough and consistent - always checking in our property to check and/or relocate traps.

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.

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".

Very professional.. Price was reasonable. I will certainly use them in the future.

I had re-seeded my yard, and was enjoying a nice lawn during the Spring and early Summer, when I was invaded by some very active moles in mid-July. The lawn immediately began to look like the Cascade mountain range with all the giant mole hills I purchased the Gopher Patrol Big Deal, which covered the set-up of traps for six months. GP's owner, Alex, responded promptly, explained the service in detail, and set up an assortment of traps. Checking the traps, it appeared that one trap had been tripped that first evening. Alex returned within 3 days and discovered that the trap had indeed caught a humongous mole. My problem was solved and I was able to re-seed over the mole mounds. The moles returned about a month later, and again Alex promptly responded and trapped more invaders. The moles came back 4 times, about a month apart, and each time Alex responded promptly and trapped the moles. The service was always prompt, professional, and friendly. I recommended Gopher Patrol to a neighbor, and they were also quite pleased with the service. What I appreciated the most was that Alex took care to minimize the damage to the lawn when placing the traps, preserving the sod where possible, and allowing for easy repair to the damage done to the lawn. Each of the moles were caught with his blue Cinch Mole Traps, although he also placed Victor plunger-style traps. Gopher Patrol is a great service, quite effective in dealing with moles, and I would highly recommend their service.

Alex was pretty sure that we probably only had one gopher, as we have a small yard and only 3 to 4 gopher hills, and he was confident that the traps would catch the perpetrator within the first week. After a couple of weeks of empty traps, Alex was frustrated and concerned that the gopher had moved to a neighbors yard as he had seen some activity there. Alex called today to say that he was on his way to the house to check on the traps and that he wanted to talk to me about suspending my contract that I had bought through Angie's List until the gopher showed up again. As it turned out, there was a gopher in the trap today! Alex still wanted to suspend the contract as he doesn't think there will be any more showing up this time of year (I probably should have called Alex in June when the gopher showed up), so not only did he get the gopher, but I am covered for another 3 months starting from when and/or if another one shows up. Alex was always very nice and friendly and concerned about the quality of his service, he wants to make sure that his customers are happy and get what they paid for! Thanks Alex, I appreciate your great quality service!

He did a really good job. Didn't find any rodents. But was super thorough in looking. Checked every possible route and opening in the home and even gave us a heads up on things that needed to be handled to avoid squirrels and gophers and the like from getting into the home. Which we later did. I noticed that he had a better deal of $50 on Angie's list and I paid $75.00 but honestly he really went above and beyond I feel. Even left me with a gopher trap for our yard and he came out the next day.

He showed up, helped us understand what the animals were and explained how they would deal with them. He set the traps and came back twice a week to check on them. He was able to get two animals and my cat got one. There has been no activities now for two weeks. He said call him if any new signs appear.
