SANDY - Founder
Sandy has been The Gopher Getter since 1969, when she started trapping gophers under her fathers direction. Throughout her life, she has trapped thousands of gophers, and knows how to track by urine, as well as scent to keep new gophers from re-infesting properties.
BRANDON - Management
Brandon has been running Utah but has taken a break due to the winter season. It's been an incredibly dry season in Utah, with an extremely hard packed and frozen ground. While it's nearly impossible for humans to dig through it, it's certainly not for the gophers! During the first of February, I noted thousands of gopher mounds as far as you could see! This is not good for those in Utah.
It's important to immediately act on the gophers, so you don't end up with hundreds throughoutyour property.

THE REAL DEAL?
Unfortunately, there are individuals who've been using our business name, without consent. All of our trappers work through our nationwide 800 number and each hold their federal licenses and permits.
If you know of an individual who is using our name in any method, please contact our office. While we welcome business competition, we do not tolerate plagerism and illegal usage of our name. Too many individuals have been doing this lately, including in California and Texas.
The Gopher Getters has been around since the '60's and have worked too hard to have others infringe on our hard work and reputation.
Thanks for your help.

Since 1966, The Gopher Getters has never used any chemicals, poisons, baits, flammables, gasses, water or any other method but trapping. The Gopher Getters is a woman-owned company, holding Trapping, Hunting and Wildlife Service Permits and Licenses.
Gophers are not rats or mice, they must be trapped by a professional trapper. A gophers sense of smell is much greater than a dogs, so everything inserted into their tunnel system will be instantly detected.
Gophers are aggressive and will attack children, pets and adults. They tunnel underneath homes, pools and other structures, and are responsible for costly damages and repairs.
Gophers utilize utility, sewer and water lines, walls, fences, curbing, roads and sidewalks, when tunneling. By tunneling underneath these objects, the soil is softer and easier for digging. Gophers will follow these lines into homes and den underneath bathtubs and pools.
We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. There is much false information regarding gophers on the Internet, so please do your research before attempting to go after your gophers, or hire someone to do it for you. We strongly advise you to only hire a professional trapper, that strictly uses only traps, without any baits, poisons or gasses. Make sure you get a written guarantee as well. If anyone you speak to cannot give you physical proof of a dead gopher, then you are wasting your money. Chasing gophers from one property to another is not doing you any good. Gophers must be trapped and killed. If anyone tells you that a gopher eats or is poisoned inside their tunnel, do not believe this as well. By the time anything is inserted into their tunneling system, the gopher has already blocked off that tunnel and has already started constructing a new system, causing additional damages.
It is true that trapping gophers is a tough job, but when you hire professional trappers, the job gets done right the first time. Spending money over and over again, each time the gophers return is wasteful and unethical. Trappers are able to kill the gophers, show you the dead gopher, and you know right there, that gopher will never return to damage your property again.
