Olivia K asked:


I am growing pumpkins. They were growing just fine (a little on the miniature side, but at least they’re there), until a gopher started eating away at the roots of the plants. I lost one of my best pumpkins. My dad stuck poisonous food in the gopher hole (he’s a liscenced exterminator), and the gopher problems have stopped. But two out of four of my pumpkin plants are still dying, one of them with my biggest pumpkin on it! I have been watering them generously everyday, but the leaves of the two plants just yellow and die. I don’t want my pumpkins to be next! If anyone out there has a real green thumb and could help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

Brandon asked:


I have 2 holes out back in a bank in my yard and its near a road. How can they be relocated? And is it safe to move them this time of year or are they laying eggs ?

Katmandoo asked:


Around chicken coop in yard, these seemingly harmless holes have been appearing. Not gophers, had last year with those conical mounds. Not garden snakes either. Fills with water with seemingly no bottom. Can’t even guess what they could be from. No other possibilities we can think of. Maybe skunks? Digging whatever? Hell, we’re buffaloed!! Any ideas out there??

Don H asked:


We bought a house where the lawn wasn’t mowed for about 3 years. After finally getting it down, I discovered we have pocket gophers. I tried a couple of the commercial baits down the holes and even Juicy Fruit gum. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas for me. Thanks!

Sam D asked:


My back yard is riddle with gopher holes. I’ve tried everything from smoke bombs to the old water hose trick. Needless to say nothing seems to work long term. So I’ve been kicking around the idea of electrocuting them.

I would insert some metal rods in my back yard at various locations. Possibly all four corners and a few in the middle. I would then hook up my portable generator and run some current through the metal rods. I would space out the rods as not to create a complete short. Maybe move them from right to left along the back yard. Sort of like the redcoats on line moving across the battlefield.

OF COURSE I WOULD BE STANDING ON MY CONCRETE PATIO WHEN I FIRE UP THE GENERATOR AND TURN IT OFF BEFORE I GO ON THE LAWN.

My logic is that I will sentence these trespassers to death by electrocution.

Will this plan work?

Mr Blue asked:


I can’t walk through my yard without my foot dropping into a gopher tunnel. They are killing all my citrus trees and small shrubs. I need a good easy way to get rid of these gophers once and for all. Help please!

Exhausted asked:


I seem to have millions of gophers and they destroy everything I plant.

Loli asked:


The gopher will eat the jelly bean and explode is this true?
