Default Re: Gopher problems?

Gophers suck! They will kill anything they can chew. I lost an 8 foot giant bird of paradise and a six foot fig tree to name a few plants. Killing them may be fun but it only thins out the herd slowly. I don't like using poisons but they seem to work the best in cutting the population down. When I catch them I ram them down their holes so they can rot there. Other gophers will avoid that area. Moving to Hawaii in June will be a blessing as they don't have gophers!
Here's a double header from a few weeks ago.
I left one in the hole once. Then the skunks dug it up and woke me up from the crunching, nasty.

I used to be nice. Not anymore, I bought more traps. The gophers are all over our yard through the year but don't kill anything. I don't know why.
