Gopher control using trapping only — no poisons, no chemicals, no risk to your dogs, cats, or children. Serving Upland with a 60-day guarantee.
Upland's identity as the "City of Gracious Living" reflects the pride residents take in their properties and landscaping — which makes gopher damage particularly unwelcome. The historic neighborhoods in central and north Upland, with their mature street trees, established citrus groves, and carefully maintained yards, represent landscapes that took decades to develop and cannot be quickly replaced. Gopher damage to tree root systems in these established neighborhoods is the most costly consequence — underground root feeding can kill a mature tree before surface signs appear.
North Upland along the foothill corridor bordering the San Gabriel Mountains experiences persistent gopher pressure from undeveloped terrain above. The alluvial soil of the Cucamonga fan — the same deep, well-drained soil that supported Upland's citrus heritage — is ideal gopher habitat. Properties near 24th Street and the foothill edges of the city deal with year-round gopher activity that requires ongoing management rather than one-time treatment.
Upland has both active HOA communities in newer developments and independent historic properties with strong community standards. For HOA neighborhoods in east and north Upland, trapping's complete compliance with any CC&R restrictions on chemical application makes it the straightforward choice. For Upland's historic neighborhoods, where mature trees and established landscapes are part of what defines property character and value, trapping's ability to protect root systems without chemical risk is especially important.
Gophers spend nearly their entire lives underground. Watch for these indicators:
The sooner treatment begins after you notice signs, the smaller the tunnel system will be and the faster the problem is resolved.
All gopher control service in Upland is backed by a 60-day guarantee. If gopher activity returns during the guarantee period, the technician returns at no additional charge.

Most conventional gopher control uses rodenticide bait toxic to dogs, cats, and wildlife. Trapping eliminates gophers with no surface chemicals — the only safe choice for pet-occupied yards.

Read guide →Upland's position at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains creates persistent gopher pressure, especially in the foothill estates above 19th Street. The historic Euclid Avenue corridor with its mature trees and deep-rooted landscaping provides established gopher habitat through the city center. Cable Airport area and surrounding open land sustain gopher populations near central Upland.
The foothill estates in northern Upland face direct mountain migration through natural drainage channels. These properties — many with large lots and premium landscaping — experience gopher pressure that standard suburban neighborhoods further south do not.
