Prarie Dog Removal & Pest Exterminator Services in Calgary, Airdrie and Area

Prairie Dog Control Services

Prairie dogs, also known as gophers, are a type of rodent which create burrows and tunnels. They easily disrupt any grounded-property, and cause extensive damage. Their tunnel systems weaken soil, damage grass and plant life, and they leave behind large mounds which rapidly spreads across your yard.

Ignoring a few minor holes rapidly turns into unnecessary property damage. As burrows grow, vital foundations diminish, causing ground instability and you lose the appearance and usability of outdoor areas. Prairie dogs drastically increase activity when left untreated.

Not what you are looking for?

Around here, yes. Prairie dogs are often just called gophers, and most people use the names interchangeably. Either way, they are burrowing rodents that behave the same way and cause the same kinds of problems underground.

More than most people expect. Their tunnels weaken the ground, kill grass and plants from below, and leave mounds that make yards uneven and unsafe. If they’re left alone, the damage usually spreads fast.

They can, especially if the conditions that attracted them are still there. That’s why removal alone isn’t enough. Preventing future activity is just as important as dealing with what’s already happening.

If you are seeing fresh dirt mounds, holes, or areas where the ground feels soft or unstable, it’s a good idea to act sooner rather than later. Early treatment helps keep a small issue from turning into a much bigger one.
