Why do you not use gopher poison

Various poison baits are manufactured for controlling gophers but few of them have good control. This includes the commercial strength of gopher bait available to us, a licensed pest control company, has poor results. Strychnine is known to be only fifty to sixty percent effective as a standalone method of gopher control. Our experience with these poisons is slightly higher but still not too low for repeatable results in Saticoy.

Besides gopher poison not having good control for gopher trapping in Saticoy it is also extremely lethal to dogs, cats and wildlife not to mention a child. At times gophers will push poison out of their burrows when they don’t plan to consume it (this happens commonly). Once the bait is above ground it is now available for anyone (children, dogs, cats and other wildlife) to consume the lethal bait. Poisons such as strychnine have no antidote and kill in roughly 30 minutes.

The other way for exposure to the poison is if a dog digs into the tunnel going after the gopher and eats the bait. Don’t let pest control companies lie to you, the main tunnels are not multiple feet down. The tunnels on your Saticoy landscape are two to eight inches down and easy to dig since the tunneling removed a lot of the dirt previously.

The (other|last} common way for your pet or wildlife to get poisoned by gopher bait is by consuming a dead or dying gopher that consumed the poison. The lethal bait is still in the gopher’s stomach and when your pet eats the gopher it is also eating the gopher bait. If you have dogs it is strongly recommended to not use gopher poiosn and don’t let pest control companies serving Saticoy try to tell you it is safe – it is not.
