Anyone really know how to get rid of gophers????????
Friday, May 21, 2004 by teddybearcholla | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
We "had" this beautiful front yard, no grass, stones, and a rock river, with all kinds of cactus, flowering sage, a huge agave, et. We have lost the agave, the little b..guy ate up all the inside, I sure hope he had a hangover! 
Now he is working on our australian bottle tree, a beautiful tree it was, now it is very stressed 
Have tried trapping, putting bubblegum down the holes, even poured a bottle of ammonia and then bleach, thought I got him, but he popped up after a few days. Sounds cruel, I don't like killing anything, but he is destroying all the plants > My neighbor said that he and a friend of his, when living in Montana, tried to get rid of a gopher by putting propane down the hole and lighting a match 
"Caddy Shack" I guess was more true to life then I realized
Anyway, this is a serious question, if any of you have any ideas, or have had the problem yourselves and know the answer

Well it's either that or my backup plan, i crash a semi into a light pole in front of her house, and then put on rubber gloves and use a pole to lodge a wrench in between the two capacitors... Then, i hide under a satellite dish along with all my favorite gizmos

DWatson.....not bad....and I have the rubber gloves [don't ask]...and can recognize a capacitor when it bites me....but you'll need an American for the wrench....all we have here are spanners...

I'm sure I could persuade president bush to provide me with a high quality wrench as long as its for terrorizing someone who doesnt deserve it, he'll probablybe a ll for it, and then when that's all over with I can give him my presentation on why I think gas prices suck and so does he for raising them... I mean as far as I see it part of the reason is because the army went to iraq and blew up the oil they were supposed to be stealing... but i'll save that for a different thread

No...you'll need three Americans to do the wrench...one to hold, one to turn him and the third to read the instructions.

You could always get that evil T-1000 cop dude from terminator 2. He could take care of everything (being liquid metal and all and ruthless to boot)

I would have thought that the odd ferret or two....[the second would be the 'even' ferret]....would suffice....
.....as long as they brought the nukes...
