I need to know if any of you have any experience getting rid of gophers.
We've got a problem in our yard and the little jerks have cost us hundreds of dollars in plants. They've eaten their way through 8 roses bushes, 3 fruit trees, my blackberries, raspberries, grapes and most of my garden this last summer. We've tried everything that we can think of and several ideas from the internet. We've tried the smoke bombs, the poison, we've tried drowning them out and we even put used cat litter around plants. The theory behind the cat little was that cats are a natural predator and the odors from used litter would keep them away. Didnt work for us.
We called an exterminator and they want $75/hole with no guarantee that they will actually kill them. The only thing we havent tried are those gadgets that emit a tone that is supposed to scare them off.
Since there seems to be someone on this board that knows something about everything, I thought Id try here.
If I dont find a resolution soon, my wonderful hubby is going to go Caddyshack on the little suckers and will probably end up blowing up everything we own.
