Gopher a Hole-in-One: How Sprague Can Protect Your Arizona Golf Course

As a commercial pest control company, Sprague understands the challenges faced by golf course managers in Arizona when it comes to gopher control. These small rodents can cause significant damage to golf courses, leading to costly repairs and disruptions to play. In this blog post, we will explore the destruction gophers can cause to golf courses and how we can help.

The Damage Gophers Can Cause

Gophers are small rodents that burrow underground, creating tunnels and mounds on the surface. Golf courses provide an ideal habitat for gophers because they offer plenty of grass and water. However, the damage caused by gophers can be significant.

1. Tunneling: Gophers create extensive tunnel systems that can damage the root system of the grass, leading to brown patches and thinning of the turf.
2. Mounds: Gophers push soil up to the surface as they tunnel, creating mounds that can interfere with golf play and be unsightly to customers.
3. Erosion: Gopher tunneling can lead to erosion, which can cause drainage issues and further damage to the course.
