Are You Trying To Get Rid Of Gophers From Your Yard?

If you’ve ever had to get rid of gophers from your lawn or garden, then you’ll know just how frustrating a process it is. If you are now faced with the problem of gophers, why don’t you find out from someone who has tried all the tricks, which is the one that actually works.

Educating yourself about the habits and behaviors of these annoying pests is the first step in getting rid of them for good. Find out why it is that they are burrowing under your lawn (and causing you so many headaches!) and you’ll then be able to find what get rid of them for good.

Did you know that when a gopher digs through your lawn, they are not just damaging the beautiful landscape… they are pulling up roots, exposing rocks that can damage garden equipment, providing fresh tilled soil for weeds to take root into and harming the vegetation that is left underneath the piles of dirt they push out of their tunnels.

Here’s a small list of some of the methods you can try to get rid of gophers: *Trapping – this is the most common but may require a bit of practice in order to get it right. *Exclusion – where you fence off a particular are of your garden that you want to make sure the gophers can’t get into. Use small mesh fencing or plastic netting. *Flooding – this has limited success as the gophers can retreat to an area of the burrows and then close off the tunnels. *Gassing – same as above *Poison pellets – easy to use but care must be taken regarding other animals such as pet dogs or cats. *Repellents – synthetic predator odors

Whatever method you use to get rid of gophers, you need something that is going to be effective and hopefully fool-proof. I’ve had my fair share of frustration with gophers ruining my garden, and have written all about it in a blog.

If you are sick of fighting this battle with gophers (or moles or vols) in your lawn, you are not by yourself. I’ve written about my experiences and how I was able to Get Rid Of Gophers.
