Gophers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are destroying my yard!!!! I live on a hill, near an open wild space so I think I am doomed. Buttttttt, I never had a single one the first two years in this house, so I don't know why the change now??!!??

I have used 3 different poisons, 1 repellent, water hose down the main burrow, smoke bombs down the holes 3 times and physical traps. None have worked for more than 2 days.

DOES ANYONE KNOW A SUREFIRE WAY TO RID MY YARD OF GOPHERS??????

Where I live I can't just shoot them or I would have got out the .22 and did that loooong ago. Maybe a pellet gun?

My next two ideas are to get those plastic owls or hawks and put them up at the edge of my yard. Also to dig a trench in the area between my yard and the wild hillside, line it with heavy wire mesh, fill it with big rocks and then cover it with dirt so the little devils can't burrow through.

Thoughts, ideas or hints??
