Gopher Control in Marion County
No-Contract Gopher Control for Homes, Farms, Horse Properties, & Commercial Sites

Akers Pest Control provides gopher control for residential, agricultural, and commercial properties throughout Marion County. We’re a family-owned pest control company that opened in 2019, backed by more than 30 years of pest control experience.

What Our Gopher Inspections Check For
A useful inspection considers where fresh mounds appear, how often new disturbance develops, and what parts of the property may be affected. Disappearing plants, damaged roots, uneven ground, and recurring soil piles can help show where underground activity is concentrated.
Important areas to evaluate include:
- Lawns and turf
- Gardens and ornamental beds
- Pastures and livestock areas
- Crops and managed acreage
- Irrigation areas
- Commercial landscaping
We use what we find during these inspections to prepare a free estimate suited to your property and develop personalized treatment and exclusion options.
We’ll take a close look, answer your questions, and help you decide what makes sense.

Pocket Gophers vs. Gopher Tortoises
A pocket gopher is a burrowing rodent that creates underground tunnels and feeds on plant material, including roots. A gopher tortoise is protected Florida wildlife, not an interchangeable pest. Gopher tortoises and their burrows occur in Marion County and are protected under state law.
If a burrow may belong to a gopher tortoise, don’t disturb or damage it. Depending on the planned activity at the site, a permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission may be required. We don’t present pocket gopher service as gopher tortoise relocation, permitting, or protected-species work.
Gopher Control by Property Type
Property size and use shape the service needed. We provide agricultural and horse farm pest services, and our owner’s involvement in the equine community brings practical familiarity with working properties where pastures, animals, access routes, and daily operations all matter.
No contract is required to get started, and quarterly service plans are available when recurring pest pressure or ongoing monitoring makes scheduled service appropriate. We can discuss whether recurring service fits the conditions found during our inspection.
Call (352) 780-6494 to schedule gopher control services for your Marion County property. Show us the mounds, root damage, pasture concerns, or other activity you’ve noticed, and we'll provide a free estimate based on your needs.
