Pocket Gopher Control-Agricultural

The Gopher Rig

Loves Wildlife Control offers Absolute Gopher Control!! Pocket gophers cost farmers and ranchers millions of dollars in losses every year. Loves knows what it takes to get a overwhelming gopher problem under control. Loves has been eliminating gopher problems since 2003 and continues to maintain that control for many customers.

A common thought of manycustomers is that gaining control of their pocket gopher infestation is not possible, after all “there has been gophers on this farm my whole life”. Loves has not found a gopher problem that cannot be resolved yet. The secret to gopher control is to work fast, be in it for the long haul, and focus on the future. Loves usually begins a gopher program in the target area and as time passes expands from the target area eliminating the immediate population. The population of gophers in your area is the problem not the gophers in your hay field.

Tim Love, Owner of Loves Wildlife Control

Loves is an on site pocket gopher control service.Loves actually comes to your farm and does the WORK!!!! Loves is also a authorized dealer for RCO- Rodent Control Outfitters, the manufactures of Omega Gopher Bait, for those with gopher plows and for those who wish to bait gophers by hand themselves . Loves offers the same gopher traps we use for sale to those who wish to to do their own trapping for gaining control or doing maintenance control after we leave.

Loves utilizes 4 tools when doing gopher control.The first and best method is professional pocket gopher trapping. Trapping the gophers is how we get paid and the only way we can prove we have done our job. The other three methods are professional baiting, specific propane blasting, and fumigation. Although each of these tools is essential and do kill their own fair share of gophers given the conditions are right, none can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have done anything, ONLY trapping can do this.

Time to start. Many customers want to know when is the best time to begin a gopher control program. Well the best time to start is NOW!!! September thru May is what I call the “Golden Time” but passing up opportunities to wait till this time is a huge mistake. In Iowa we have many obstacles to overcome. These include but are not limited to: the weather, the season, the life-cycle of the gopher, visibility, timing trapping sessions, communication, size of area to control, mileage to trapping area, severity of infestation, soil type, etc.

How does it work? Well first you must decide that Professional help would be a good investment for your property.Next, call Loves Wildlife Control at 641-891-7194 and give me your information so I can send you a contract for you to review with the costs listed for your mileage from me. The contract will tell you how much 1 trapping service will cost as well as how much a year of service will cost.  A year of service guarantees that LWC will service your property 3 times and up to 6 times within the calendar year from the time of the first service. Once a yearly contract begins, communication from the customer is critical as you are my eyes, telling me how much sign you are seeing and when it is possible to come and trap. This communication is the only way LWC can travel long distances and be extremely effective.
