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.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called on Monday regarding some recent concerns with mice in my home. Jennifer patiently listened to my concerns and talked me through the process. She was quick to have someone sent out the next day. Kolin was incredibly informative and reassuring during the whole process. He arrived during the promised time frame. We did end up having a mouse problem but luckily it's able to be fixed DIY. The products and services offered were reasonable. While we did not go forward with paying the biz for traps, we paid for an outside bug spray for a preventative measure. Would call again in a pinch!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Pest Patrol to help deal with a major mouse infestation. When the "normal" treatment didn't work, they went well beyond the call to handle the problem. Now, no more mice.  We're very grateful for their excellent communication and dedication to the job, and recommend them highly.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are absolutely great! Quick responses, and quick solutions. They got rid of a wasp problem for us deep in a wall, and identified the cause so that we won't have bigger issues in the future. Their follow-up was very thorough and gave me a lot of confidence in their solutions. Thank you!!
