$@*&! GOPHER

If you know some one who has cats and can get acess to dirty cat litter {must have the poop} they will leave. I have 2 cats they use the gopher hills for a litter box and the little suckers leave every time.

After all if a cat used your house as a litter box you would leave too.

My DH looked this up in a gardening book. And sure enough there it was. He tried to get me to package and sell on e-bay as "Organic gopher killer". Gauranted to work every time. Cant you just see some one ordering it and opening a box of ripe cat poo. lol

$5.00???? Holy Smoly! I thought I was anxious to see them gone! LOL I think the deal my boys worked up was $1 each (with proof, of course). I told DH he should make sure to have lots of dollar bills cause I just planted my garden last night and I'm sure it'll be full of the little......ahem, well, you know what I'm getting at.

cover up all of its holes but one, back the car up to the last hole while its running. carbon monoxide will kill em. just need to find a way to make the exhaust reach

Large amounts of garlic, onions & beer. Honest!!

Now you just have to have someone eat the garlic & onion, followed by at least a 6 pack of beer. When done they will be drunk enough to go around and pee in all the holes.

Bye bye gophers!

I have 2 ways, proven to work.

1) Juicy Fruit gum. Find the holes, and place half a stick in the hole. They love the stuff, but can not poo it out.

2) Castor beans. You can find Castor plants...they also love these, but will poo themselves to death.

NOTE: Dont try both...the castor will cancel out the gum. Good luck!

my uncle lives on 25 acres and had a huge gopher problem so he took a huge knife and jolly rigged a gizmo that my uncle would cover all the holes up but one and attach the gizmo so when the gopher tried to push on the metal plate of the gizmo to escape from its burrow the knife would spring down and stabb the gopher through the head! he also made a variation of the gizmo using a .22

Hey Soccerguy17, your uncle sounds like an inventor, with a slight psycopathic streak!

What else did he come up with? I sure wouldn't wanta be the one to trespass on his land. But I have to admit to having a soft spot for inventors, even when they are Rube Goldbergs.

I tried the Juicy Fruit gum method and all the little buggers did was push it right back out of their holes. We swear we could hear laughter coming from down under! We've also tried mole traps and haven't gotten one gopher or mole. They continue to wreak havoc on our property, also. So I'm also waiting anxiously to see what every one suggests to do.

I feel your pain! We have groundhogs. They eat everything and destroy foundations of barns and buildings. Here in Va. they are considered a rodent pest and can be exterminated as needed. Catching those stinking things is work! We have used poisen and traps. Some days we feel like Bill Murray in CaddyShack
