How to Stop Gophers in Malibu and Calabasas Without Poison
Our Proven Trap-Only Method

Zen-Cal Termite

 

Section 1: Introduction to Gopher Problems

If you're a homeowner in Malibu or Calabasas, chances are you've seen the telltale signs of a gopher problem: fresh soil mounds, chewed-up roots, dead plants, or collapsing ground underfoot.

At Zen-Cal Termite, we're seeing more calls than ever from homeowners in these high-end communities looking for a clean, effective way to deal with gophers--without using poisons or chemicals. That's why we rely on a proven solution: Cinch traps.

Section 2: Why Gophers Love Malibu & Calabasas

Malibu's coastal bluffs and Calabasas' rolling hills make perfect gopher habitat--moist, loose soil and plenty of ornamental plants. Gophers can destabilize slopes, damage roots, and ruin landscaping.

Section 3: Why Trapping Beats Poison

Gophers are territorial, dig deep and fast, and avoid repellent devices. Poisons are risky to pets and wildlife--and often ineffective. The best approach is mechanical trapping.
