Gopher Problems Near San Dimas — Canyon Golf Course, Puddingstone, and Bonelli Park

San Dimas is home to Rodent Guys — our base of operations — and it is a city we know exceptionally well. The combination of Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, Puddingstone Reservoir, San Dimas Canyon Golf Course, the San Gabriel Mountains foothills to the north, and the historic equestrian properties throughout the city makes San Dimas one of the more consistently gopher-active communities in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. We have served San Dimas homeowners for years and understand the specific pressure sources that affect every neighborhood in the city.

The Main Gopher Sources in San Dimas

Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park covers 1,975 acres in the heart of San Dimas — one of the largest regional parks in LA County — encompassing Puddingstone Reservoir, maintained recreational areas, natural open space, equestrian facilities, and the Raging Waters water park grounds. The park's combination of irrigated recreational turf and extensive natural terrain makes it a massive gopher reservoir. Residential neighborhoods on all sides of the park — including the communities along Via Verde, San Dimas Avenue, and Puddingstone Drive — experience sustained gopher pressure from the park's substantial populations. The park's sheer scale means its influence extends well into surrounding residential areas in all directions.

San Dimas Canyon Golf Course is an LA County operated course running through San Dimas Canyon with irrigated fairways that have sustained established gopher populations for decades. The residential streets in San Dimas Canyon and the adjacent hillside neighborhoods see consistent activity from the course grounds throughout the year. The canyon terrain itself — with its natural vegetation and drainage corridors — adds natural gopher habitat to the golf course pressure in this part of the city.

San Gabriel Mountains foothills form San Dimas's entire northern boundary. The undeveloped canyon terrain of San Dimas Canyon, Walnut Creek Wash, and the foothills above the city provide natural gopher habitat that never gets systematically managed. The residential streets climbing toward the mountains in northern San Dimas — including neighborhoods along Puddingstone and the hillside subdivisions above Foothill Boulevard — experience direct pressure from mountain populations pushing downhill into irrigated residential landscaping.

Horse properties and equestrian areas are found throughout San Dimas, particularly in the older neighborhoods where horse keeping has been part of the community character for generations. Large irrigated horse lots sustain gopher populations that push into neighboring residential properties, and the prevalence of equestrian properties in San Dimas distributes this pressure across many neighborhoods.

School campuses — Bonita High School, San Dimas High School, and the many elementary campuses in the Bonita Unified and Pomona Unified districts — all maintain irrigated athletic fields that contribute neighborhood-level gopher pressure to surrounding residential blocks throughout the city.

Historic citrus and nursery properties in San Dimas reflect the city's agricultural heritage. The remaining nursery operations and the deep-rooted legacy of citrus cultivation throughout the city have left soil conditions that are exceptionally well-suited to gopher tunneling — decades of agricultural irrigation have created deep, rich, well-structured soils that gophers navigate easily.
