About Gopher Pile Pest Control
A Legacy of Service Since 2007
In the state of California, means having the right license for the right job. While Gopher Pile is our newest specialized division, our roots in the industry go back 18 years. We are a proud branch of our founding company, Southland Pest Control (Lic. #PR 7461), has spent 18 years protecting the structures of our community, Gopher Pile Pest Control was born to protect the land.
As a Veteran-Owned and Woman-Owned business, Marcelo and Shammy Gallo realized that gophers, ground squirrels, and landscape pests require a different set of tactical skills. By holding specialized licenses through the Department of Pesticide Regulation (License #-46011), Gopher Pile is legally and technically equipped to handle the unique challenges of your backyard, turf, and landscape, Gopher Pile was created as a dedicated strike team to protect your turf and gardens with the same honesty and work ethic our customers have trusted for nearly two decades.
