Gopher Problems Near West Covina — San Jose Hills, Golf Courses, and School Campuses
West Covina is a substantial San Gabriel Valley city where gopher pressure comes from the San Jose Hills forming its northern boundary, two golf courses, and the extensive network of school campuses distributed throughout the city. As a mature suburban community with well-established landscaping and consistent irrigation throughout its residential footprint, West Covina provides excellent gopher habitat across most of the city.
The Main Gopher Sources in West Covina
San Jose Hills form West Covina's northern boundary with undeveloped foothill terrain that sustains natural gopher populations pressing southward into the city's northern residential neighborhoods. The hills' chaparral and grassland habitat is unmanaged natural terrain, and the residential streets in northern West Covina along Amar Road, Workman Avenue, and the hillside subdivisions climbing toward the ridge experience consistent downhill gopher pressure from the natural terrain above. This pressure intensifies in spring following wet winters as expanded hill populations disperse into the irrigated residential areas below.
West Covina Golf Course is a public 18-hole course with irrigated fairways in the city's eastern area. Municipal golf courses in the San Gabriel Valley consistently develop high gopher densities, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods in eastern West Covina see year-round activity from the course's established populations.
South Hills Country Club in the city's southern hills area adds private course gopher pressure to the southern residential neighborhoods. The country club's maintained fairways and the natural terrain of the South Hills immediately surrounding the course create a combined pressure zone affecting the communities in this part of the city.
Galster Wilderness Park preserves natural open space terrain in the northern hills of West Covina. This in-community natural area sustains gopher populations directly within the residential footprint, distributing pressure into surrounding neighborhoods from a central rather than only peripheral source.
West Covina Unified and Covina-Valley Unified school campuses — West Covina's multiple high school, middle school, and elementary campuses maintain irrigated athletic facilities throughout the city. South Hills High School, West Covina High School, and Edgewood High School are the largest campus sources, each sustaining local gopher populations affecting surrounding residential blocks.
