Ground Control

About Us

How Can We Help?

Ground Control deals with nuisance wildlife that damage property, shred lawns, or otherwise torment your pets and peace at home, or detract from the safe, professional appearance of your business or recreational venue.

Insured and licensed by the state of California, we specialize in poison-free removal of whatever critters are tearing up your yard or field. Gophers, moles, voles, skunks, raccoons, ground squirrels, and more. No job is too big or too small.

Local and Enthusiastic

We are a small local business, taking pride in every aspect of our work for over 20 years. Our customers are our partners and we treat every job site like it's our own. When we can save your plants, yard, or field, nobody is more excited about the result than we are. Every job is a new challenge to solve, and every customer is a potential new friend to meet.

Institutional Projects

Parks, Cemeteries, Athletic Fields, Commercial Grounds

Around the Bay Area, we manage gophers, moles, voles, and ground squirrels in over 1000 acres of parks, school districts, and cemeteries, removing hundreds of animals a week, one at a time. If your facility is beset by these burrowing buggers, contact us for information. We can survey your site and give you an honest assessment of the best approach. If your grounds look like the moon today, there is always a way to get them back to looking like the garden, baseball field, or manicured lawn you need. It's a point of pride and a matter of safety for your visitors as well.
