More Gophers

Gopher tortoises....a nuisance with whom we must coexist (but why can't you live across the street in the drainage easement? Or next door somewhere in the 6-acre vacant lot?)

And then there are pocket gophers. Cute little devils, right?


Wrong!

Another bane of our existence. These little critters, 5-14" in length, wreck havoc with our yard. They dig burrows...looongggg burrows, and deposit the spoilings from the tunnels in various size mounds in our yard. 

The Mister was at one of the local farm stores. I suggested he get a certain type of trap which may be effective. The store did not have the trap, but the Mister did have an enjoyable time commiserating with other guys perusing the anti-rodent options. He came back with a sonic stick:


I was thrilled. (Now just how many women do you think would be thrilled to receive a Mole & Gopher repeller?!)

I immediately went out and plunked that thing between two huge mounds the gopher had made the night before. 

The next morning....

what to my wondering eyes did I see? 

Another *%$^& mound right in front of me!
