Gopher, Mole Control Notes: Tyler, East Texas Home/Property Owners
10 things you should know when using our service. This is a list of things you can do to help us help you. 1. Let us know of your problem as soon as you see a problem. Early detection is important for proper control. 2. Do not disturb mounds or tunnels. Treat the area as though it were a crime scene! Every bit of information is important, and can be a clue to the critters activity. For instance, we can tell where a gopher came from by following back the mounds from the freshest to the oldest. All information is relevant. 3. When we set traps or bait, please do not let pets or children into the area, and do not disturb the area. 4. Most critters can be trapped in the course of a day, but not all, and not under all conditions. For example, in colder or wetter weather, they may tunnel deeper, and exhibit less activity. 5. Trapping or baiting will not cure the problem forever. New gophers and moles will eventually come to visit. This is particularly true if they also exist in your neighbors property. Gophers and moles do not understand property ownership. They do not care where your property begins, and where your neighbors property ends. We offer neighborhood package deals which will be cheaper and more effective for everyone. 6. Trapping is the most effective means of dealing with critters. There are other methods, a biological method for moles, and poison grain for gophers. Most other methods are far less effective, some downright dangerous, and others fall into the "snake oil" category. 7. With gophers, a two step program can be effective when properly initiated and carried out. Trapping the existing ones, and baiting existing tunnels near likely points of entry. Baiting with poison grain, gives some mixed results, and could possibly be dangerous to family pets, but under some circumstances, can be effective. 8. The only effective means of prevention is to install a barrier. This can be done, but can be rather expensive. If you should attempt this yourself, please locate all gas, power, water, communication, and irrigation lines before proceeding. 9. We will provide you the opportunity to see any critter we trap, as evidence. If you want to see the evidence, please let us know beforehand, so we can save it for you. You will also need to let us know where you want to store your "bag of gophers or moles," as they do not travel or store well! 10. Some folks, occasionally balk at the price of our service. This is a rare occurrence, but should be mentioned. Very simply, it involves a $50.00 stop fee, or service fee in the local area, and a per head price of $20.00. We will trap up to ten properties in a row or a block, for one stop fee, and the per head price will be charged for the property where the gopher or mole was caught. The stop fee is needed to cover expenses just like plumbers or electricians. You will only be charged one stop fee per day under normal circumstances. You may call us at (903) 216-1408 for service, or email us at etexbiz@gmail.com for questions.
