GOPHER CONTROL
Highland, CALIFORNIA
Highland properties—especially near Highland City Hall on Base Line Street—commonly experience gopher activity due to local soil and landscaping conditions.
Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains along the northeastern edge of the Inland Empire, and gopher activity here ranks among the highest Rodent Guys sees anywhere in San Bernardino County. The city's foothill communities — particularly in north Highland along Base Line Street, the neighborhoods bordering the San Bernardino National Forest, and properties near East Highlands Ranch — experience persistent pressure as gophers migrate continuously from undisturbed mountain terrain into irrigated residential lots. The Santa Ana River Wash runs along Highland's southern edge and sustains a large gopher population in its undeveloped banks that pushes into adjacent residential streets year-round. Homeowners looking for a gopher exterminator in Highland often find activity returns quickly without a recurring maintenance plan. Gophers live almost entirely underground. As they tunnel, they push soil to the surface, creating fan-shaped mounds and damaging turf, plant roots, and irrigation lines. Without proper control, a single gopher can establish a tunnel network covering hundreds of square feet within a few weeks.
Common Gopher Damage in Highland
- Fan-shaped soil mounds appearing overnight
- Underground tunneling that weakens lawns and destroys root systems
- Damaged grass, ornamental plants, and vegetable gardens
- Irrigation line disruption
Why Highland Properties Have Persistent Gopher Problems
San Bernardino Mountain foothills. Highland's northern neighborhoods border the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains and the edge of the national forest. Undisturbed mountain terrain sustains large, established gopher populations. Properties along Base Line Street and the hillside communities in north Highland see the most persistent activity, with gophers moving from mountain habitat into irrigated yards continuously. Santa Ana River Wash. The undeveloped wash corridor along Highland's southern boundary provides miles of soft, undisturbed soil and native vegetation — ideal gopher habitat. Residential properties adjacent to the wash, particularly in the communities along Victoria Avenue, see consistent pressure from gophers expanding out of the wash into maintained yards. East Highlands Ranch. The hillside communities of East Highlands Ranch border natural open space on multiple sides. Properties here experience sustained activity as gophers move between the undeveloped hillside and irrigated residential lots.

My Highland property is near the foothills — will gophers keep coming back?Properties adjacent to foothill open space consistently experience higher reinfestation rates because gophers from undisturbed mountain terrain continue moving into irrigated yards. Monthly maintenance prevents new gophers from becoming established before they cause visible damage.
