If that don't work,
PM Skyler for a .22 cal gopher buster. :LOL:
Saved me hundreds of dollars on lawn replacement and gopher abatement! Quite literally.
The pest control guy was gonna kill them off with poison foam anyways.

Those gopher smokers don't work very good.

That is most definitely the ticket!!!!! Besides, what red blooded American male doesn't like blowing things up. I mean, if I had that thing, after I did my property, I'd be knockin' on my nieghbors door asking if he would want me to do his property!!!

You know what the easiest way to get rid of gophers is? And I mean this really works! At least in your own yard. You have to own a dog or cat. Dogs are best. When you find an active burrow or mound of freshly dug up dirt, simply dig out the soil to find the tunnel, find some of your dog's fresh doodo that he has recently deposited, scoop it up and drop it down into the gopher's hole. Put the dirt back into the hole to cover so your dog won't break his leg by stepping into it, and there you have it! Do this to all fresh gopher holes. The gopher(s) will high tail it to the hills and go back to where he came from and doesn't seem to come back for a long time, if at all. The predatory smell of the dog shat really repels these rodent pests. I have done this for years every time a gopher digs into my yard from an adjoining property.

I've had great success with it. Theres nothing more satisfying than actually seeing your dead rodent:Twisted:

Tip: Radish greens and peanut butter are the best bait, he he. Good luck.

[Nu_AbGatr]

In theory, the smoke from the fireworks would deter the said rodent,
have you tried putting some liquid smoke there to simulate an active fire source?


Brain on overdrive, sorry...
