Gopher Control in Bayonne, NJ And Surrounding Areas

When Your Lawn Starts Looking Like Swiss Cheese

You know those dirt mounds that keep popping up overnight? Yeah, those aren’t from moles or some weird drainage issue. You’ve got gophers—and they’re having a field day under your property right now.

Here’s the thing about gophers: one of these guys can dig hundreds of feet of tunnels in a single week. They’re down there munching on your plant roots, destroying bulbs, and basically creating an underground highway system that’s wrecking everything you’ve put into your yard.

And it’s not just about ugly mounds. They’re killing your plants from below (which is why you can’t figure out what’s wrong with them), damaging your irrigation lines, and creating soft spots in your lawn that become trip hazards. We’ve even seen cases where their tunneling messed with foundation drainage.

At Clearview Pest Control, we’ve been handling gopher problems throughout Bayonne and Jersey City since 2020. My name’s Michael, and after 15+ years in pest control, I can tell you that gopher removal isn’t something you want to tackle yourself. These rodents are smart, skittish, and almost impossible to trap without the right approach.

Call us at 347-224-2581 for professional gopher control. We’ll get your lawn back to normal and make sure they don’t come back.

Why Gophers Are So Tough to Get Rid Of

Gophers spend pretty much their entire lives underground. They feel vibrations through the soil, so they know when something’s up. Try to dig them out? They retreat deeper into their tunnels. Set a trap wrong? They avoid that section entirely and just dig around it.

Most homeowners waste money on store-bought solutions that don’t work because gophers are incredibly territorial and cautious. You need someone who understands their tunnel patterns and behavior—which is where we come in.

How We Handle Residential Gopher Control

Our gopher exterminator approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every yard is different, and gopher activity varies depending on soil conditions, food sources, and how established the infestation is.

Here’s what we do:

Tunnel Mapping – We locate the active tunnel systems (not all of them are being used) so we’re not wasting time on abandoned sections.

Strategic Trap and Bait Placement – We position everything based on gopher behavior patterns. This isn’t random—it’s about understanding where they travel and feed.

Complete Population Elimination – We don’t just reduce the problem. We eliminate it. If you’ve got multiple gophers (and you probably do), we make sure they’re all gone.

Landscape Gopher Protection – Once they’re out, we talk through prevention strategies so you’re not dealing with gopher foundation damage or gopher irrigation damage down the road.

What Gopher Damage Actually Costs You

People see the mounds and think it’s just cosmetic. But gophers can:

• Destroy entire flower beds and vegetable gardens from below
• Chew through irrigation lines (leading to expensive water bills and repairs)
• Create erosion problems by redirecting underground water flow
• Undermine patios, walkways, and even building foundations in severe cases
• Kill expensive trees and shrubs by eating their roots

The longer you wait, the worse it gets. And since gophers breed fast, what starts as one gopher problem can turn into a major infestation.

Why Bayonne Property Owners Choose Us for Gopher Removal

Look, we started this business in 2020 when my wife and I got laid off during COVID. We put everything we had into Clearview because we wanted to do pest control the right way—treating people’s homes like they’re our own.

We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or scare you into services you don’t need. We just do good work, show up when we say we will, and make sure the problem’s actually solved.

We also offer 24 hour gopher control and emergency gopher control if you’re dealing with active damage that needs immediate attention—like a destroyed garden bed or compromised irrigation right before a big landscaping project.

And unlike some companies that want to lock you into long-term contracts, we focus on getting the job done right the first time.

Preventing Future Gopher Infestations

After we eliminate your current gopher problem, we can help with yard gopher prevention strategies:

• Installing gopher-proof landscaping barriers around high-value plants
• Identifying attractants that draw gophers to your property
• Advising on lawn maintenance practices that make your yard less appealing to these pests

Some properties are more vulnerable than others—especially if you have sandy soil or lots of garden beds. We’ll let you know what to watch for.
