What To Expect
When you partner with us to protect your investment, lawn, landscape, pasture, or horse property, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive, professional approach specifically designed to address the unique gopher and vole challenges posed by our Montana climate.
1. Inspect
An inspector conducts a thorough assessment of your property and landscape, searching for active tunnel systems, fresh mounds, and signs of damage. We also identify environmental conditions—such as heavy vegetation or specific soil types—that attract gophers and voles to your property. This allows us to recommend targeted strategies to reduce future risk.
2. Identify
The technician identifies the specific burrowing pest present, such as pocket gophers or meadow voles, to determine the most effective trapping or baiting strategy for your landscape.
3. Plan of Action
From small to large-scale infestations, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Following the inspection, our team creates a customized strategy to address the specific gopher or vole problem on your property.
4. Monthly Service
We offer regular treatment plans for continued control of your property. Monthly inspections catch new activity early, ensuring your yards, fields, and pastures remain healthy and free from burrowing pests.

How do I know if I have gophers, voles, or ground squirrels?
Gophers typically create mounds of dirt without any visible open holes. Voles leave small, golf-ball-sized holes, noticeable surface trails, and damage to your lawn. Ground squirrels make larger holes and are often seen above ground during the day. If you notice any of these signs, our team can help identify the pest and provide effective solutions.

Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
Yes, for interior pest treatments, we recommend that customers and pets stay out of the treated areas until the application has dried completely. This ensures everyone’s safety and allows the treatment to work effectively.
