Professional gopher and ground squirrel trapping for Temecula homeowners. Safe for dogs, cats, horses, and children. 60-day guarantee.
Temecula's rapid residential growth has pushed development into areas that were gopher and ground squirrel habitat just years ago. The Santa Rosa Plateau, the wine country hills to the west, and the open land between Temecula's master-planned communities all provide wildlife reservoirs that continuously repopulate residential properties with rodents. New developments adjacent to these open areas see gopher infestations establish within months of landscaping completion.
Temecula's large lot sizes, horse properties, and the prevalence of backyard chickens and livestock make rodenticide bait an impractical option for many households. Trapping is the standard approach for any Temecula property with animals.
Temecula's wine country properties west of Interstate 15 face a specific gopher problem: vineyards and orchards provide abundant root systems that sustain large gopher populations. Gophers from wine country properties spread into adjacent residential parcels regularly. Hillside properties in this area also experience ground squirrel pressure from the surrounding open land.
Temecula's large master-planned communities — Redhawk, Wolf Creek, Harveston, and others — have extensive park and open space systems that provide gopher and ground squirrel habitat within the communities themselves. HOA common area management practices vary widely; properties adjacent to community parks and greenbelts often experience the most persistent rodent pressure.

Yes — trapping is specifically recommended for properties with chickens and other poultry. Traps are set underground inside the rodent's burrow system. There is nothing on the surface that poultry can access. Rodenticide bait is toxic to chickens and should never be used on properties with free-range birds.
