My yard is full of gopher mountians and I don't know what to do about it. Does anyone know of a safe frugal way to elminate them from my yard?
If you have cats or now of some one who does, take the used litter and open holes in the gophers tunnels and put the used litter in there tunnels it wont be long before there gone.""
If you place an unwrapped stick of Juicy Fruit Gum in each hole you find....... they won't come back !!!
I put moth balls in Styrofoam cups with holes poked in the bottom, covered the cups with foil & set in each hole, it worked. To keep them from tunneling under your plants in the garden try putting down a large piece of "hardware cloth"...it's like heavy metal screening; just dig down into the garden before planting & lay it down, the plants roots can grow thru it but the gophers can't pull the plants down and can't tunnel thru it.
I have a garden and gophers keep destroying it. They're so greedy! I love gardening, and planted a separate garden for them, but they still eat mine and theirs. Should I plant different types of vegetables in their garden than mine? I'm not looking to hurt anyone, I just want peace and vegetables.

Plant a row of castor beans separating the gardens.
We have a pesty gopher in our garden. Does anyone know how to get rid of gophers? Thanks.

Since I live in your area I listen to Bob Tanum on Sunday morning on KSFO. He is a gardner. He recomends dry ice. Seems to be successful.You can find it in some grocery store or liquor stores.
This was a simple solution for me, anyway. I tried everything for 5 months to eradicate gophers in the yard. They were dining on all my newly planted trees, plants, shrubs, etc.
Get some Wrigleys Juicy Fruit gum. You chew it just until it is soft and the flavor is starting to come out. Then you poke a hole in the hill or run and drop the gum down into it and cover it up.
Have your hubby save his urine and pour dashes of the urine on the mounds. The gophers move.
Here is an eco-friendly and humane way to reduce the ground rodents like gophers from your sensitive gardening areas. This does not kill the rodents but they will move away from that section of your yard.
What kind of plant roots do gophers hate to eat? I have gophers and no matter what I do I can't get rid of them. I've tried everything.

Gophers are demolishing my yard. They are eating my roses, iris, and other plants and leaving mounds of dirt everywhere.
I have a very persistent gopher in my yard. I tried crushed mothballs in the hole he made, and thought it had done the job, but he's back.
