Getting rid of gophers without killing them?

Amanda asked:


How do you get rid of a gopher without killing it? It’s not doing much damage to the grass but my dog is trying to dig to it so there’s holes all over the lawn. This is a pretty brave gopher. I really don’t feel right killing it just because of grass, so no death traps/poison/anything else that will end its life.

Get the size of hav-a-hart live trap that will hold a gopher. It has two open ends and a bait tray that is the trigger. When the gopher sees the food in something which is open on both ends it will enter and touch the bait, That will trigger the dropping of the doors on both ends and you caught your gopher,

Pick up the trap by its top handle and drive to a suitable area more than three miles from your home and tip the trap over so the doors unlatch. Your gopher is still alive but is not heading back to your hosue.
