I’ve been using John for years to keep the large tree in my front yard from burying us in olives. They contact me when the optimum time to spray comes around, I give them the ok & I don’t even have to be home when they do it. They leave me a bill - easy & reliable.

After hearing our options for the mole, including what we could expect if we elected to do nothing, we decided to leave the mole alone. We didn't see any need to exterminate it. We will use Gingrich again in the future. They are always honest and forthright with their assessment. We would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: We thought we had a gopher. Gringrich came out within a couple of days. Their employee shared that we had a mole. He detailed how we could handle the mole from extermination to doing nothing. We really appreciated the time he took in explaining our options as well as how to tell the difference between a mole and a gopher hole.

The pest went away and it hasn't returned. They got the job done. There was an old bump on the other side just a feet away. I mentioned that and they said if they treated that, it would be another treatment which wasn't anything reasonable to me.
Description of Work: I had a mole in the front yard and they got rid of it. They put pellets and traps under the ground.

Gophers had killed 2 shrubs in my front yard and were in the process of destroying a dwarf oleander. Several stems were completely chewed off. I knew that I needed professional help. Gingrich Horticulture was recommended to me. Staff was very knowledgeable and responded in a timely manner. Gopher problem was eliminated. I decided to get their help again - this time to eliminate roof rats which seem to have learned to avoid the traps which I set. I see them on my deck at various times during the day. Tony deployed 3 bait stations and knew the best locations for them - not where I would have thought. He came back & checked them and found that the bait was being eaten. It will take a little while before we see success but I'm sure that we will.
Description of Work: Put bait in gopher holes but gopher activity continued. Gingrich returned & set traps. Caught 2 gophers - no more activity noted.

Description of Work: After trying to deal with the moles ourselves for several months, we finally called Gingrich early last summer. The cost is definitely worth it since replacing the mature shrubs would easily have cost more. It took a week to catch, and they got one very large male mole. We had a reprieve for the rest of the season. The moles are back this year and we'll be calling them again for sure.

We had landscaped our backyard 2 1/2 years ago. Gophers have slowly (and not so slowly in the last few weeks) been tearing up our lawn and flower beds. We have tried high frequency sound mechanisms, bombs, and poison---- without results (would only slow them down for a few weeks). A representative from Gingrich came last Fridayt surveyed the area, and set 6 traps. John, the owner came this morning (Monday) and pulled up the traps----- and there they were --- two big, well fed gophers!!! We know this isn't the end of our problem forever but we are so pleased to have stopped the damage for now. (Gophers work singularly and in territories, so feel we are fine for the time being). I would recommend Gingrich to anyone who wants results. They are prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. They are a little pricey. But as they say "You get what you pay for"!!

Description of Work: They came out and removed a gopher from our yard. They were friendly and knowledgeable on the phone. They were very busy with appointments but were able to come by and do the work without us there. A new mound appeared about a week later and they came back out and did some more work. We appear to be gopher free now for the past month and they have been good about multiple visits to confirm the gopher has not returned. I would recommend them.

John is responsive to calls for estimates. He called back right away, and we set up a time for him to look at our situation. The reason this month long trapping is pricey, is that it involves multiple visits per week to check the traps, and the initial set up takes some time. He is very careful to keep the traps out of a child's reach, and from interfering with neighbor's yards. Where applicable, he protects birds from getting caught in the traps by putting mesh over the trap. His company offers a variety of yard and critter services. I recommend Gingrich Horticulture Service, and I will use them for bait station maintenance, and will try some of their other lawn and critter services.
Description of Work: Set up rat traps in the backyard on top of the fence. John (or his assistant) comes back often to check the traps, remove all dead rats, and then bait and set the traps again. This is a month long service, which is enough time to make a dent in the local population, and then we will use their maintenance program for the rat bait stations.
