Gopher Hotspots in Highland
Highland sits at the base of significant mountain terrain with San Bernardino Mountain foothills, Plunge Creek, and Santa Ana River corridor producing continuous wildland reinvasion pressure. Alluvial fan soils deposited from the adjacent mountains run deep across the city and allow fast tunnel excavation. Hillside subdivisions face continuous colony migration from the protected open space above.

Why Highland Has Gopher Pressure
Two features combine in Highland: alluvial fan soils allowing the region's fastest tunnel excavation, and direct mountain foothill reinvasion along the northern/eastern edges. The wildland reservoir cannot be controlled at source. Warm inland climate with year-round irrigation sustains continuous colony activity. Monthly maintenance is typical for foothill-adjacent properties.

Highland Gopher Control FAQs
How much does gopher control cost in Highland?
Flat pricing for Highland properties: $325 for initial service (full property, trap setup, 60-day guarantee), $65/month for maintenance, or $175/quarter. No square-footage surcharges or per-mound fees. Call 909-599-4711 for scheduling.
Do you use poison in Highland?
No. Rodent Guys uses trapping only across all Highland service — no rodenticides, no gas cartridges, no strychnine. Trapping is safer for pets, children, and the hawks and owls that naturally suppress rodent populations throughout SB County.
How fast do gophers come back in Highland?
It depends on what borders the property. Highland homes adjacent to open space, wildland, water corridors, or agricultural land typically see reinvasion within weeks because the external reservoir resupplies continuously — those properties benefit most from monthly maintenance. Interior properties with buffer from external sources often stay clear for months after initial service.
What's the difference between a gopher and a mole in Highland?
Gopher mounds are fan-shaped with a dirt plug offset to one side. Mole mounds are conical and symmetrical with a central plug. Highland has both species; they require different trap types and placement. Our technicians identify the correct species on the initial inspection before setting traps.
Do I need to be home for Highland gopher service?
No. Rodent Guys technicians work exterior-only — most Highland appointments are completed with no one home. We need gate access if the yard is locked. Call 909-599-4711 to schedule.
