09/06/25
Gopher Scram Professional, manufactured by Epic, is a dual-action granular gopher repellent designed to control and prevent gophers from damaging land and property for up to 30 days after treatment.
The product is all-natural, containing natural oils like castor oils and others in a granular formulation that will deter gophers after they get a small taste or smell it up close.
Gopher Scram Professional is a biodegradable repellent that safely repels gophers without harm through the sense of taste and smell. This easy-to-use gopher control tool effectively protects plants while being safe for people and pets. As a professional-grade repellent, Gopher Scram Professional gives pest control operators, landscapers, homeowners, and groundskeepers the ultimate environmentally friendly control against gophers.
Tools Needed
To make applications, you will either wear gloves and spread the granules by hand or use a hand or rotary spreader to spread them in the target area.
How to Use
- Step 1: Inspect and observe the areas where gophers are present, where their mounds are, and in which specific areas they are active.
- Step 2: Apply Gopher Scram using a rotary spreader to the target areas where you have noted gopher activity and damage.
- Step 3: Apply a second spread of granules within specific beds and plantings where gopher damage is visible. Spread a wide band around the beds or plantings affected by gopher damage.
- Step 4: Find gopher mounds and runways and spread Gopher scram into any open mounds. Open plugged mounds to access tunnels, spread Gopher Scram in there as well, and refill with dirt.
- Step 5: Reapply two weeks later to achieve total control.
Where to Use
Gopher Scram Professional can be used on a wide range of properties. Use anywhere that you are encountering pocket gophers (residential lawns, commercial landscapes, farms, golf courses, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, etc.)
When to Use
Use this repellent when you notice gopher activity, the animal itself, or see their mounds and burrowing. Pocket gophers are active throughout the year and do not hibernate. Peak times of gopher activity are between spring and fall.
Safety Information
Gopher Scram Professional is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying this product.
Special Considerations
Repeat application every 30 days for continued prevention of pocket gophers.
