The City of Colleyville hired a trusted local business, Gopher Genius, to eliminate the mole and pocket gopher infestation without closing the park.

The Gopher Genius team removed more than 450 pests (approximately 70% pocket gophers and 30% moles) using only mechanical traps and no dangerous chemicals, keeping local wildlife and pets safe.

All work was completed seamlessly around sports events, pets, families, and lawn crews.
