As long as it doesn't show up in the "What's for Dinner?" thread.

With gophers, if there's one, there are more. And yes, it stinks to have to deal with them. I keep hoping our cat will start hunting them.
We planted a row of roses, and entirely enclosed the roots in chicken wire. The gopher has checked them out, but can't get at the roots, so it seems to have been successful. We poisoned the last batch of gophers that were in the lawn. I'm with you on killing them personally... yuck. Good luck with your problem. |
when we had them as a kid my dad made a windmill on a pole and drilled the center pivot off-center about 1/8 of an inch so it would wobble when it spun. his theory was that it would send constant vibrations into the ground, making their homes unlivable (sort of like living next door to a constant ongoing jackhammer) the windmill stood in the yard for decades and we never saw another gopher.
a nice non-lethal alternative |
My mom suggested something similar to that - one or more of those yellow sunflower spinners you stick into your lawn (for the same reason.)
The gophers, by the way, are seeking revenge. More gopher holes then ever and now outside the fence as well. Are we being invaded? ;) |
well....in a word, yes. gophers will establish colonies in an area of high resources.

Emily Litella wants to know why the racehorses are getting high. And why don't they just share with the gophers?
|
That one took me a sec to get.... but it's cute :)

Unfortunatly, I can't say this surprises me with as sick as she has been: Elizabeth Taylor

Don't know precisely why, but my cheese is sad about Liz Taylor. |
