Protecting Glendale, AZ Lawns & Landscapes Since 1999
Pocket gophers can quietly destroy a well-kept yard before you notice anything is wrong.

We target the tunnel system, protect your landscape, and reduce the conditions that can invite gophers back.
We offer free estimates and strive to accommodate same-day scheduling whenever possible. Call (623) 343-7922 to get started with gopher control for your Glendale, Arizona, property.
Identifying Gopher Activity on Your Property
The Botta’s pocket gopher is the species most commonly found in Arizona, and the Phoenix Valley’s mix of desert soil and irrigated landscaping gives it favorable conditions year-round. These animals spend nearly all of their time underground, which means damage often spreads significantly before a property owner spots the first warning sign.
Knowing what to look for makes early intervention possible:
- Crescent-shaped mounds: Fresh mounds with a plugged hole on one side are a reliable indicator of active gopher tunneling beneath your property.
- Wilting or dying plants: Gophers sever root systems from below, causing plants and turf to fail without any visible surface cause.
- Irrigation problems: Underground tunnel systems can extend hundreds of feet and penetrate buried drip lines or irrigation pipe, leading to water loss and uneven pressure.
- Soft or sunken ground: Collapsed tunnel sections create depressions and holes that can become trip hazards in lawns and garden areas.
Pocket gophers rarely surface, so by the time mounds appear, a tunnel network is already in place. Addressing gopher activity promptly can limit the spread of root damage and help protect the irrigation infrastructure running beneath your yard.
Our Approach to Gopher Control in Glendale
We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all treatment. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to assess tunnel activity, property layout, and any existing landscape or irrigation damage. From there, we build a targeted plan using Integrated Pest Management principles. This means relying on the most effective and least invasive methods appropriate for the situation.
Our products are selected to be safe for children, pets, and landscaping when applied properly. We use industry-leading technology to deliver precise applications that minimize environmental impact, and our team participates in ongoing training to stay current with evolving control methods. Pricing is transparent and fair from the start, with no surprises at the end of the job.

InspectionAs soon as you contact Protection Termite Control, we’ll set up a time to inspect your property. When we arrive at your home, we’ll first talk with you to find out what problems you’re having and what you’re most concerned about. We’ll then inspect both inside and outside of your house to identify pest activity, entry points, harborage areas, conducive conditions, and more.
-
Treatments
Our treatments are designed around your home’s specific pest control needs. If interior areas require treatments, we’ll provide them. We’ll then move outdoors to treat around the base of your house, your property line, and your garage. We’ll also set out monitoring glue boards to keep an eye on pest activity. Your initial pest control treatment can typically take place immediately after our inspection.
-
Follow-Up
Our follow-up services are available on the schedule that works for you. Some homes require more frequent services, while others can be spaced out more. We offer monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly options to meet your needs. Our follow-up exterior and interior reservices are limited to areas of concern and are available on an as-needed basis. Simply request one prior to our service, and we’ll happily comply.

Can I avoid termites around my home?Though termites are very hard to avoid there are measures that can be taken. When we visit your property, we'll look for things that might attract these pests to your home. In addition to taking preventative steps, we'll provide termite prevention tips to keep these insects away.
-
Why are termites on my property?Termites are attracted to wood and moisture. They might attempt to invade your house because you have a wooden structure but are also attracted to wood piles near the exterior of your home. Some termites thrive in humid environments, so leaks are another common attractant.
-
Why do scorpions want to get inside my home?While scorpions love hot climates, they'll attempt to escape the heat by getting inside your home. When their search for shade and a cooler climate leads them to your property's exterior, they'll take advantage of entry points to get inside your property.
