FAQ
Gophers are a type of garden pest that tunnels through the soil and causes many problems for homeowners. Three common issues they cause are listed below.
- Landscape damage. Gophers feed on the roots of plants and grasses. As they burrow through the soil, they cause a lot of damage to gardens, crops, fields, young trees, and lawns.
- Property damage. Gopher tunnels can be found just beneath the surface and can travel hundreds of feet deep. Their tunnel system can potentially weaken the ground below your property.
- Safety hazards. The horseshoe like mounds of dirt created by gophers while digging creates a potential hazard for lawn mowers, people, and farm equipment.
To solve your property’s gopher problem in the fastest, most effective manner possible, contact the professionals at Smith’s Pest Management. Gophers are a tricky pest to eliminate and require the experience and knowledge of a professional. To learn about our gopher control services, please reach out to us today.
Moles and voles are both types of garden pests that cause plant and grass damage and are commonly confused with one another. It is important to know that they are two very different species.
Here are some of the main differences between moles and voles:
- Moles are a type of insectivore; voles are a type of rodent.
- The mole’s diet consists of insects, grubs, and earthworms. Voles are vegetarians and feed on the roots and stems of plants.
- Moles have dark velvety fur, a pointed snout, large front feet, and strong claws that they use for digging. Voles look very similar to field mice with short tails and partially hidden, fur-covered ears.
- Moles live their entire lives in the soil. Voles live above the ground in fields, meadows, and tall grasses.
- Voles cause damage by killing plants, making holes in lawns, chewing on tree bark, and making unsightly ruts in the yard. Moles create trails in the soil and mounds of dirt on lawns.
If you ever experience problems with moles or voles on your Oakland property, the professionals at Smith’s Pest Management can help. We provide the services needed to eliminate and control either species. To learn more about our effective mole control or vole control services, contact us today!
Ground squirrels look very similar to the tree squirrels that you see leaping from tree to tree. Both have large bushy tails, but as their name suggests these squirrels don’t live and nest in trees, but rather in holes they create in the ground. Ground squirrels are capable of causing a large amount of damage in a short amount of time.
Ground squirrels create burrows and unsightly holes in the ground. The entry holes they make can become quite large, posing a significant trip and fall hazard and making lawn care difficult. Ground squirrels also cause damage to trees and the exterior of sheds and garages by scraping them while moving dirt and gravel away from them. Additionally, they have the potential to invade gardens and orchards feeding on and destroying crops.
The good news is that when it comes to ground squirrels—they are no match for the professionals at Smith’s Pest Management. Give us a call today to learn more about our innovative ground squirrel control services!
Rats are prolific breeders and a common pest inside of Oakland homes and businesses. Rats can be difficult to guard against, but it is possible to make some changes around your property to make it less attractive to invasive rats. To avoid problems with rats, we want to suggest the following tips:
Remove excess debris from your property that rats can hide in.
Keep locking lids on trash cans and compost bins.
Keep outdoor eating areas clean.
Trim overgrown shrubs, bushes, and tree branches back away from the exterior of your building.
Seal all entry points into your structure.

The gophers killed my fruit trees, and upended my garden and it became impossible to keep up with them. So I contacted Smith and they took care of them for me.
