What To Expect

When you partner with us to protect your property from ground squirrels, you can expect a consistent, professional approach tailored to the unique burrowing challenges of Montana’s climate.

1. Inspect

An inspector conducts a thorough assessment of your property and landscape, searching for open holes, mounds, and signs of damage. We use these findings to recommend targeted strategies that minimize the future risk ground squirrels pose to your horses and livestock.

2. Identify

We confirm the species to distinguish ground squirrels from other burrowing pests. This ensures we use the most effective methods for their specific colonial behaviors.

      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!!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with this local, family-owned pest company. They were prompt, professional, and incredibly kind. Fortunately, they didn’t find any pest issues at our home, but what impressed me even more was that they didn’t charge us for coming out and taking the time to thoroughly inspect everything. It’s refreshing to work with an honest company that truly cares about people and the community. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing help with pest issues. Great service all around!

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.

Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
