Unexplained dirt mounds, failing irrigation, and declining landscape health are often signs of gopher activity. In Arizona cities like Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Tempe; gophers are a common issue on properties with turf, common areas, and perimeter landscaping due to our soil conditions and year-round irrigation.
Because gophers operate almost entirely underground, damage is frequently discovered only after it becomes disruptive or costly. It’s important to utilize a pest control service to prevent future issues.
Common Signs on HOA & Commercial Properties:
- Crescent shaped dirt mounds
- Dying turf or plants
- Soft or uneven ground in landscaped areas
- Damage to drip lines or sprinkler systems
Why Gophers Are a Risk for Properties:
In Arizona, pocket gophers remain active year-round, especially after rain. If untreated, gophers can:
- Drive up landscaping and repair expenses
- Damage underground irrigation
- Create trip hazards
- Negatively affect property appearance and resident satisfaction
When to Call Cimex?
Recurring gopher activity usually requires a professional approach. DIY methods are rarely effective on large properties due to the size of tunnel systems and the need for ongoing monitoring.
