Did not hire them due to excessive price and misleading reviews on this site.
Description of Work: Called for an estimate based on reviews on this site. Reviewers had the price listed as low as $50. I was told on the phone the price is $245 min. This is robbery for only 1 or 2 gophers and probably 10 minutes of work at the most.

Response from Gopher Patrol
Thank you for your review of our company. I apologize that you may have misunderstood our pricing structure based on the other prices listed in our reviews. I would like to take this opportunity to explain further how our service works and pricing. The price you were given over the phone is our base price for the initial gopher control service. The reviews you mentioned listing our pricing in the $50 dollar range are from current monthly customers who have already completed the initial gopher control service and are now on a monthly service plan. The monthly service plan does begin at $45 and can increase depending on the size of the property, surrounding environment, and other factors determined by the technician after the free inspection is completed. We have numerous customers throughout Southern California who have found our prices to be fair and very competitive and our service to be exceptional. We are always up front with our pricing right over the phone so there are no surprises. The initial service price of $245 quoted to you includes at least 2 professional service calls and a 30 day guarantee. Upon arrival for the inspection the technician will meet with you to go over all areas of concern. The technician will then walk the entire property looking closely for signs of gopher activity, we often spot signs of gophers that may not be so obvious. After the inspection he will give you the actual cost of the job. I apologize if our customer service rep was not able to adequately explain to you the differences in pricing between an initial, multi-visit guaranteed service, and our regular monthly service charges. I would welcome a phone call from you to discuss our service further if you choose. Thank you again. Ethan General Manager

Located tunnels and injected poison approx 10-12 inches below ground level. Very impressive. Everything looks great! So far no sign of any additional activity. They provide an additional 1month warranty that begins after their last visit.

They came out for an initial treatment of gophers. As part of their service, they come out about 1 week later to check the work and see if there is more activity. About 2 weeks later I noticed new gopher holes in the backyard, and GP came out (for free) because the new activity was within 30 days of the last visit.

I initially wanted to get rid of a gopher population that had taken over my backyard. They treated the area a couple of times and now I have a monthly maintenance contract with Gopher Patrol. They come out once a month to check the entire yard. Gophers come and go, but at least I can call them anytime and they will come out and treat again, if necessary.

Gopher Patrol was on the more expensive side of the various companies I'd contacted when we had gopher holes in our front and back yards. However, they were the most professional from start to finish. They were prompt and professional. It's a two step visit: they come out and treat the existing holes, then come back a week later to see if any further treatment is needed. When they followed up a week after the original appointment, a few new holes had appeared, and those were treated during the follow up appointment. Since then we have had no further problems with gophers.
Description of Work: They injected poison bait into the gopher holes in our yard.

When I spoke to the man on the phone, he said that they would provide me with a free estimate, but that it would be over the phone. Then when the technician would come to my house is when I would pay, and I don't consider that a free estimate because he was not actually looking at the issue before giving me a price.
Description of Work: I called them to see if they would come out to my area of town.

I like the fact that they don't deal with just gophers, they deal with all kinds of different problems that you might have. They are a bit expensive, but they do a really good job. They're better than other services that we used in the past. My only complaint is that they don't always send the same person out every time.

I pay them $70 a month. They are okay. They are trying to get the gopher under control, but it still keeps coming. They are responsive when I call them. They would come back to retreat the property.

When calling Gopher Patrol, it was difficult to communicate my needs to the person on the phone, but my service professional, Chris, was very friendly, professional, and was also local and familiar with the area. Chris was sensitive to my concerns about using poison baits in the vicinity of my pets, so he found alternatives to try to solve the problem. After a couple rounds of 3-4 visits, our problem wasn't entirely solved, but Chris also helped me locate an area that had intermittently allowed rodents into the crawl space, and that was valuable.
Description of Work: Baits and traps were placed, checked, and removed for attempted removal of pocket gophers and ground-burrowing squirrels.

They spent time going through each hole and putting down whatever was needed to kill them. They returned a few more times for follow up and to ensure the gophers were gone. They were very informative and I would highly recommend their services. They were very reasonably priced. I spoke with two other gopher companies and their price was reasonable compared to the other two estimates I received. They were on time, responsive, and the man who I dealt with was very nice. I would definitely recommend their services.

I made the call and they responded that day. He was thorough, professional, and completely communicative. There was nothing funny about the experience...all business, no upcharging. I'd call again tomorrow, but would rather you be the one to call instead. I hate gophers. I bought ever kind of Home Depot poison, including the smokers, bait, and the sun-charged noise maker. That gopher made his home and didn't care about my purchases. Then I made the call! :-)

I have been using them for a couple of years, and they are good. If the gophers ever came up, and a pet found one and ate it, it wouldn’t hurt the animal at all. They are good. They are really conscientious. They are very responsive. I can talk to them and they will answer all my questions. They come out and explain what they are going to do. They always do what they say they are going to, and I don’t even have to be there as long as the gates are open so that they can get in my yard.
Description of Work: I use Gopher Patrol to get rid of gophers. They come out a couple of times a month. They probe the ground for tunnels, and then they make holes and drop pellets down there. The pellets react with moisture to release a gas that goes down the tunnels and poisons the gophers.
