Gopher separator

If the strychnine bait didn’t work the zinc phosphide will be less effective. Trapping works , but is time consuming. The old fashioned traps work well just don’t let them close on you when setting. There is what is called a black hole trap that looks like a short piece of three inch plastic pipe. It seems to work better than most. Another method that works is to take the exhaust of an older gas engine and pipe it down the hole. The carbon monoxide will kill anything in the hole. Good luck.

of course after I get it built he'll probably
just move over into the neighbor's yard...

Bonus: you get rid of the gopher and can rent your device to them.

I use gopherhawk traps, use 2 or 3 in different positions in their tunnels, always seem to work for me. Other traps never worked well for me and a PTA to set. Where there is one, there are usually more. Family members.

The gopher hawk does look interesting

I have had gophers move into my yard in the last year or two. Time to check out the gopher hawk.

Only available to us farmers but anhydrous ammonia works WAY better. Careful it don't kill you too.

Road flares work, light and stuff in the hole, cover with dirt.

Wherever smoke come out of the ground, stuff another in and cover the hole.

Repeat until out of flares or no smoke.

No gophers but we have chipmunks. They are relatively innocuous. It's the moles that get me going. I haven't found a sure fire way to eradicate them yet.

On a larger note, we have beavers. They raised the creek level enough that it was flooding my wife's garden. We had a professional trapper come in last winter and he cleaned them out but in the last few weeks, the water level has been rising.

I would try the road flares but this devil has taken up residence under my succulent garden and I don't want to kill my plants
trying to kill him
Although ammonia gas might be workable, and it's good for plants
Liquid ammonia + lye
