    dang gophers!

    I was just outside and noticed that the resident gopher is now moving its entrance closer to my house. Does anyone know any methods of getting rid of gophers without resorting to Caddyshack methods? Thanks.

    oh, and my cat won't get near the thing because its twice her size.

    They make a "gopher cone". Its actually a type of poison. You buy them in a box , and they look just like cone incense. Light them and place one at each hole. If the gopher is smart , it will hi-tail on....if not it won't be digging any more holes anywhere.

        Get sick of wasting money on gopher repellent and get some decent poison

          Clamp a long hose to a nice tailpipe. Jam hose in gopher hole. Start engine.

          Repeat untill gopher prescence is gone. Though with high cost of gas, poison pellets might be cheaper. But the redneck way is just more fun.

            s***

            start dumping your cat's or dog's or youy s*** outside the hole or in it. then he might leave, or who knows... he mihgt return the favor.


























            but honestly if u have a paint-landmind rig it up outside the hole, its the best non lethal way

              well, i know that with moles this works. Chocolate ex-lax. No Joke. they will not crap in their burrows. so htey come out to do it. Then, they either crap themselves to death (most often) or they just run around in circles and you gaff it with a pitch fork.

                  Light a flare and shove it in the hole and then cover the hole. You will see smoke coming out from all of the escape holes all over the place. Cover the holes you find. If the gopher hasn't hi tailed it out then he will suffocate and you problem is over. You'll be surprised at how many entrances show up.

                    Shweet.

                    Might just have to up the dosage.

                      that flare thing is a good idea... but i think smoke balls would be better since the smoke balls are on sale

                          working on a farm, i could tell you so many different ways to get rid of them...some of which may be illegal where you are, but here's a few of the more effective ones

                          1. diesel fuel, fertilizer (ammonium nitrate), and a plastic easter egg...light fuse, throw down hole, and RUN

                          2. car exhaust (diesel cars/trucks work better)

                          3. very, very, very, very fast paintball guns (loaded with gobstoppers, i find that guns with a lot of bounce or RT mags work best)

                          4. a 45 mag and a good aim (works well when coupled with any of the above)



                          most of which are more than likely illegal in your area....just dont get caught
