Non-Toxic Methods For Landscapers

Gophers Limited trains many landscaper professionals on the art of trapping, discouraging and excluding major landscape pests.  The focus is on minimal disturbance of turf and landscapes to solve pest problems.  Target animals are gophers, moles, voles, ground squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks and deer.  A typical training session will consist of and early morning (if possible) trap setting session, a Power Point lecture on basic problem animal biology focusing on behaviors and mannerisms that lead to effective trapping or control.  The lecture will also include attracting predators, using sprays and drenches, different fencing and barrier options including proper ways to gopher and mole proof turf areas and several trapping methods that do not require large excavations.  After the lecture, the group returns to the trapping site set up earlier and traps are checked, reset and new areas are set to demonstrate effective trapping techniques.
