I have a large field with lots of gophers. How do I get rid of them?

May 17th, 2008
nspcoin@sbcglobal.net asked:


Three acre field full of gopher holes, also many dogs, cannot use poison because of animals running free in area. Is it true that rabbit poop spread around will make the gophers move? If so, where can I get the rabbit poop to spread around ? Already tried flooding and many other methods such as smoke bombs, etc. Please don’t give stupid answers like electric fence or blowing up the Field. Thank You

How is the relationship between number of moles and temperature possible?

May 8th, 2008
Arri asked:


According to the ideal gas law, the number of moles would need to increase as the temperature decreases and it would need to decrease if the temperature increases. Why is this? Wouldn’t temperature rise if there are more moles since there will be more “bumping” going on? Also, if it’s not too much to ask, can someone give an example to help my understanding of this concept? Thanks in advance!

May 7th, 2008
The Pope asked:


I Am At War!!!! I just bought my first house a few months ago and have since found out that the backyard is home to a bunch of gophers or ground squirrel type animals. These little boogers are tunneling under my lawn and building big mounds of dirt all over the yard. Not to mention them eating the plants etc. They must go! I have tried the smoke bomb type devices that you put into the tunnels . . I have found one dead from that. I bought a dog . hopefully he will start to get’em. So far he hasn’t though. Anybody got any ideas? I feel like I am Bill Murray in the Caddyshack movies. he he. Any help would be great! Thanks, Randy in Temecula, CA

What is word for the summer time equivalent to hibernation for pocket gophers?

Mark H asked:


Gophers and rabbits become less active in the heat of the summer, sort of like hibernation. I believe there is a word to describe this “less active” state. Help

How do I get rid of these pesky moles/gophers?

May 3rd, 2008
infoskoop asked:


For the past few years I’ve been plagued with moles/gophers. I was fortunate enough to trap one (speared him behind the head…..they’re UGLY). Thought I had my problem solved but then, there were the tunnels again, tearing up my lawn. I tried poison pellets, smoke bombs and even put Gummy Bears (suggested by a friend) in the hole but I think he invited his friends over for a party because now the yard is worse. HELP!!!
