OK, I can"t take it anymore! We live in the Arizona highlands (Prescott) and own 2.5 acres for us, our dog, horse and chickens ... and about two dozen GOPHERS. Coyotes must be in the next county, because my property is taking a beating from these ground assaults. How, oh how, do you get rid of gophers? Tried gassing them, tried the poison down the holes, tried traps ... nothing works. Help!

tychnine laced maze has worked on my Texas gophers for many, many years. I have used nail bar to probe for tunnels near mounds & poured a table spoon of seed in it and in later years, used a gopher plow to put the seeds under ground at tunnel level. Both effective. Application method depends on area infested & density of infestation.

Poison the grub worms and the gophers will leave.

We us Bubble gum. Buy it buy the big bags. Stick it in the hole, they eat it and choke to death. I'm guessing if they got smart enough to blow bubbles it would shut off the air in their hole too. ????

Get some "Cinch" gopher traps. If you Google them and go to Amazon you'll see pictures. My son and his buddies trapped over 100 of them last summer while working on my cousin's dairy farm. If you set them right, you'll get them every time, and then your traps will be sitting in the shed with nothing to do.
