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.
Description of Work: I had several moles and gophers like 30 of each and Gopher Patrol kept coming back every week at about the same time every week until I had no more critters. I have worked with Alex for several years on my current property and my former 20 acre property and he has been honest and dependable.

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.

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.
Description of Work: We had a gopher destroying our backyard. He came in evaluated the situation and set out traps that day. Gave it two weeks came back but called before he came and found one gopher. Turns out it was one destroying the yard but he kept the traps in for another 2 weeks.

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.

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.

This customer bought the offer described below. Copied and pasted from our storefront. Not sure how he missed $35 additional for each mole/gopher caught. In our opinion throwing D's out there on us is not appropriate as he did not read his agreement. Not sure how we could make this more clear. Here is the link to purchase: (same thing Mr. Meyers signed up for) http://deals.angieslist.com/deal/?storefrontitemid=299721&source=2&forceSync=1 This Offer Includes: Here's the Deal: $150 for complete consultation and set up for 3 months of gopher or mole removal service Service call includes inspection, consultation, and plan of action for dealing with gophers or moles Includes consultation and the set-up of traps only. There is a $35 fee for each animal caught. Technician will return as necessary inside of 90 days to replace and/or relocate traps. The Real Deal:Since the "Pied Piper" is probably not available, you're going to have to choose another tactic to get rid of rodents! Use this offer to attack or prevent future problems.

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".

She is correct, we didn't catch the mole right away as activity indicated the mole had moved off the property. We still came out to check routinely. Not twice a week as we would an active infestation. We were showing up to check on the property to nail the mole if it came back. Just as fast as moles move into a yard they can move out. Bad news is that they will usually come back. It was fortunate that the mole left as it wasn't able to cause any damage. Toward the end of our service a mole did show signs of activity and was promptly caught.

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.

It was really a pleasure to work out here. We had even talked about the differences between the different types of traps. Here we did well with what we call the "blues" while at other properties customers sometimes tell us to use the "blacks." This stop was the last of the day on several occasions and we were able to yip yap a bit. Unfortunately there is a low lying creek below that the moles use as a superhighway. More than likely we'll get to know each other well over the years.

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!
Description of Work: We had some gopher hills show up in our yard, so I bought a 4 month contract through Angie's List with Gopher Patrol. Alex @ Gopher Patrol came out to our home mid September and set up 2 different kind of gopher traps.

Thanks for the review. It was frustrating to show up and see absolutely no evidence of a mole. A satellite set of traps nailed a mole on the side yard. Another critter will show up in time either here or at the neighbors where mounds were seen. Just by doing our job we will more than likely be working at the neighbors house in the future as well.

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.

Thanks for the review. We look forward to working with you in the future should any animal related problems arise. Sorry about the confusion for our ad $50 consultation. Whenever we go through an attic or enter the home on a journey searching for wildlife the price is our minimum $75. The $50 consultation is normally used outdoors to talk about moles/gophers in the yard. Normally the consultation is purchased then applied toward our services trapping.

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.
