That gopher has got me gophered

[jackmormon]

Anybody know of a good way to get rid of gophers? I've tried the poisons and smoke bombs, I've tried flooding them (I dumped 500 gallons down a hole one day and it never filled up), I put the lawn mower exhaust pipe in the hole for three hours, and I've even tried digging up their extensive tunnel network. The only success I've had is one that I shot with the BB gun the other day.

I tried all those ways to get rid of gophers, too. Then I read that gopher tunnels could be miles & miles long - who knew?

So I gave them those gopher be-gone pellets and *supposedly* they take it back to their main house, where they all chow down on it. That's what the ad said about it, but I dunno.

Haven't seen a gopher since I started using it, but it's still early in the year. I could see some any day now.

Got it at Lowes, I think.

Thanks, I'll look for those

Oops - forgot to tell you...

The pellets come in a round tube and they're about the size of an alka-seltzer.

I've been having problems with gophers too. I might end up trying those pellets. I have been afraid the cats would eat the poisoned gophers and die too and then I would end up with a bird problem.
A kid that lives on the farm in back likes to trap gophers and he trapped one out for me. I'll have to wait and see if more show up. They are the biggest pain and I have tunnels in my lawn and all over.

The tablets work great, as does the wheat product that has poison in it. You can obtain any of those at your local farm store or co-op
