Signs Meadow Voles Leave Behind In Pleasanton, CA

Are you still wondering if you need help from Smith’s Pest Management? If you’re hesitating about whether or not to give us a call, take a look at some of the pests we can prevent and the damage they may cause to your home or business.

There’s a good chance you already have meadow voles living on your property. How do you know if they’re damaging your lawn? Meadow voles are small rodents, only about two inches long. However, they can cause extensive damage both above and below ground. They may destroy plants and damage the integrity of your lawn.

If you have meadow voles on your property, you may begin to see runways above ground, or you may start to see holes around your lawn which lead to their underground tunnels. These tunnels and runways are unsightly. They can also be dangerous as they are a tripping hazard.

Another sign voles leave behind is the damage to plants. Voles eat bark and plants. If you have a garden or extensive foliage, a vole infestation will quickly take its toll. They’ll eat plants and bark and damage any garden you may have. Trying to stop them on your own can be an impossible battle.

If you have damaged plants or large runways across your property, call Smith’s Pest Management. We’ll use a combination of trapping, baiting, and carbon monoxide treatments to clear your yard of voles before they can cause any more damage. Don’t hesitate.

How Much Damage Can Gophers In Pleasanton, CA Cause?

Another common pest in Pleasanton is the gopher. This is where Smith’s comes in. We specialize in gopher trapping. These pests are incredibly damaging. They multiply quickly and can be tricky to prevent and eliminate. An attempt to control gopher damage on your own can quickly lead to frustration and unnecessary spending.

Instead of dealing with gophers alone, call us for help. Let us use our expertise to protect your home or your business before the gopher damage becomes irreversible. Unlike many pest control companies, we have direct experience with gopher trapping. We use traps rather than poison baits because we’ve found them to be far more effective.

Gopher holes can be a hazard for children and adults who may be walking in the yard. These holes, and the tunnels beneath them, also weaken the integrity of the yard.

As if holes and tunnels across your property aren’t enough, gophers also eat the roots of plants and grass. Given enough time, gophers can kill the grass around your yard, turning any landscaping attempts into a futile battle against a plant-less lot.

Contacting a pest control company that doesn’t have direct experience with gophers can lead to further damage. Many less experienced companies use poison baits to eliminate gophers. These poisons can be harmful to the environment and can further damage your plants. Instead, we use traps to catch gophers without causing any further damage to your property.

No matter which rodent you’re dealing with, Smith’s Pest Management has the experience to help you. With our personalized treatments and routine visits, we can keep your lawn safe all year long. Trust us to protect you from gophers, voles, rats, ground squirrels, and more. If you’re worried about rodents ruining your lawn, contact us today for a consultation and treatment plan.

My chicken coop was put up five years ago. I went out one night and almost had a heart attack because there was probably 100 rats in with the chickens. I called Smith’s and the problem was solved quickly. No more rats!
