The Gopher Getters started back in 1966, in Gila Bend, Arizona. Throughout the years, not once has any chemicals, poisons, baits, water or any type of flammables been used for gophers. Our family has been trapping and killing pocket gophers for many generations. We know that gophers will quickly detect anything inserted into their tunnels. Even we must use specific techniques to keep the gophers from detecting us. For many decades, we have been tracking gophers by urine, the only true method for determining if a tunnel system is active or not, saving time and money.
Our methods are so outstanding that we guarantee our trapping! With pest control companies, you are told that the gophers simply, "die somewhere", except the gophers keep coming back.
With trapping, you will actually see and know for certain that this gopher will never be able to hurt your property again, reproduce, or destroy another plant or irrigation line on your property.
The Gopher Getters is a woman-owned company and has been trapping for nearly her entire life. She has trained her sons as she was trained by her father. Trapping pocket gophers is an extremely tough job, not only because of the digging, kneeling and jumping on shovels all day, but also because of the risk of skin cancer, rattlesnake bites, animal attacks and the many assortment of injuries diseases, parasites, and especially from chemical and poisons exposures.
Sandra has always believed in working hard and helping others. She will work to help those who need payments and even gives money back to customers and businesses when they refer their neighbors, family and friends for gopher trapping services.
An advocate for the safety of children, families, pets, livestock, wildlife and the environment, she is continually fighting against the usage and abusive use of products that are known to kill children, pets, non-targeted species and contaminate our planet.
Sandra has an extensive background in trapping, computer technology and is currently developing new products that will help golf courses and property owners alike keep pocket gophers from damaging their lawns.
