Description of Work: Gopher Patrol has worked with us for several months to eradicate a pesky mole problem. They've made headway, but we still have a few more moles that they are continuing to work on. It's our first experience with a mole eradicator, but thus far they've been diligently visiting our property on tuesdays and fridays to see which traps have been tripped as well as sign of fresh mole holes that they set up new traps in.

Response from Gopher Patrol
This property was a little bit tough. Moles in grass tend to be caught overnight while moles hanging out in barkdust or flowerbeds can be evasive as they are frequently moving from one area to another. A mole was caught quickly in the grass here as 1-2 were working over the beds. We'd been working for several of the neighbors without running into the elusive flower bed type mole. Fortunately the mole only needs to make one mistake. Persistence pays in the end.

Description of Work: Stated price above fxincludes Angie's List deal price plus invoices for kills. Very effective at mole and gopher removal but definitely overpriced. Made several requests for visual evidence of kills- but evidence wasn't always provided when compared to the invoices. Service was not always twice a week as stated and it also ended a little early with no notification despite being clearly stated on every invoice. Overall, the service was effective and successful.

Service is usually twice weekly. Our trappers aren't the type of people you could find at a temporary service looking for a days work. Also it would not be fair for us to send untrained employees to a customer's property. At times there are situations where once weekly is the best we can do. Service on trucks, acts of god, hunting/fishing or even one of our children competing in a rodeo could pull us out of the field. Most companies provide once weekly service. That is our minimum! As far as price is concerned we are currently providing service below market value. It is possible to find pseudo-companies who don't pay taxes, worker's compensation or follow any of the basic rules. They are such unfortunates, they won't be around long and we discourage using companies who fit this description. We believe we are the most efficient trapping company in the NW and our profit margins are very low. A price increase is likely in the near future. Hiring real companies does cost real money.

We go for A's, however we are attempting to trap varmints. All of us in the trapping industry have properties that just don't work as expected. There are so many variables involved that can complicate the process. The good news is that we always solve the problem in the end. :-)

Description of Work: The company representative came out promptly and walked me through what he would do to eliminate the moles. He placed the traps and carefully marked them for safety. The following week he returned and removed the dead mole without me calling. So far no new critters in my yard!

Easy to work with this customer. Friendly and to the point. Unless otherwise specified we attempt to do our job and move on. After the traps are gone it just takes a quick call or email to get us right back out. We look forward to working with you in the future if another mole pops up!

This property has been very routine with the longest stretch of time to catch a mole at about ten days. We do our best to make sure we don't get fooled by a mole more than once.

Description of Work: They set traps for a gopher on a Friday, and picked them up on the following Tuesday, with the caught gopher. | |They did a great job and got rid of my problem, but I think the cost is a little high for a house with just one gopher. I'm going to look into getting it done for a little less money, or maybe even just buy some traps myself.

We appreciate your business. As with most companies the first mole is the most expensive, our longer contracts add value similar to an insurance plan against new intruders. Some customers get lucky and have just one mole wreaking havoc all around a house (orbiting) without seeing any moles for years. At the same time other customers may end up calling us every few weeks with new moles. They feel like they are getting a great value, where a one and out mole can seem expensive.

Thanks for the review! At this property the six month deal came in handy. On our first visit I believe it was in February or March the whole property was trashed by moles. We estimated about 5-6 moles. Caught one the first visit then the activity abruptly stopped. After showing up a few more weeks (still in denial about only one mole) we kept up with monitoring traps until there was no sign for nearly a month. We got called in last week with just a few spots of activity. A small area in the front that was hard to see underneath brush and in the back there were mounds in a small area. On the next visit -wham! caught the guy in the front. Walked to the back where about half a dozen traps were placed in a small area 5'X10' where in one set hit two out of the same original mound and another mole only 10' away. Noticed a little activity near the garden on the side where traps are working right now. Caught off guard when the moles disappeared months ago, but they came back and I'm assuming there won't be much more going on after this last mole is whacked on the side yard. When they disappear it is a little embarrassing to tell a customer they have 5-6 and clear the property with just one animal. Fortunately here he signed up for our 6 month service which saved $75 compared to signing up for two 3 month packages. We'll be back out tomorrow hopefully able to catch that last mole. If it's the last....

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately the network of tunnels underground is known to us as the World Wide Web. Moles and Gophers get curious when they find new tunnels and will inevitably end up in areas that were pathways for deceased critters. As time goes on the chances of having a new intruder go up. We are always here to help. We ask customers to call in anytime there is new activity as we have a better chance of nabbing the culprit quickly as well they are not able to damage the yard further. It is always important to check your property thoroughly between Jan&March as the varmints are reproducing. This helps keep costs down and limits the surprise of the juvenilles breaking ground later.

Description of Work: Bought an Angie's List deal, same day they were at my house and set 9 traps in the yard. Three days later came back, had caught 2 moles, came back another 3 days later and caught 2 more. From my standpoint, great value, great service, very grateful they came so quickly.

Description of Work: Trapped/killed moles & gophers in approx. 1 acre pasture area. Service is on-going for a 4 month period which started June 9th. The final cost will more than likely increase as more moles & gophers are killed. |Only complaint so far is they changed the days they stop by to check & reset their traps without notifying me, so I hung around the house all day when I could have been doing other things.

We change days periodically to make service more efficient for everybody we service. If we kept everything the same then we wouldn't be doing justice to our customer base as whole. There isn't a need to be home when we service a property. We're just like the garbage man or UPS. In and out, do the job then go to the next. Changing from Tuesday/Friday to Wednesday/Saturday is a common occurrence. This customer did call to ask and I told him that we did change days. It is tough to notify everybody of a single day change as there are usually about 40 stops to be made on each route. Our job is to catch the moles and gophers as effectively as possible for all our customers. We strive to accomplish this goal as it is the foundation of our business.

Great place to work. The mole here was in flower beds and in the grass. We set about a dozen traps for this one mole and caught him the next day. After the next mole shows up we hope to get the price grade of a C up to an A.

Description of Work: The person that came to my home was very professional and informative. They got one mole but I ended up calling them back when mole hills appeared again. They put in traps again and got another mole. They have been very pleasant to work with including the person that answers the phone.

Description of Work: We have a three month retainer with them during this time they come out and inspect the property and lay traps for the gophers and moles. They have caught several and once there is no activity they come back when we call. It has been great and has saved our lawn from mole and gopher holes. |
