Trying To Get Rid Of Gophers From Your Lawn


It can be a painfully frustrating process trying to get rid of gophers from your lawn. But instead of trying every possible trick, method and system, why not find someone who has tried them all and then let them tell you the best way to get rid of gophers.

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.

There are many ways that you can try to get rid of gophers. Here’s just a few of the more popular ones: *Trapping - this is certainly the most common method used. However it may take a bit of practice learning to set the trap correctly and then you will need to get rid of the body. *Exclusion - using small mesh fencing or plastic netting, you could protect a portion of your garden if there are particular plants that you want to make sure stay safe. *Gassing & Flooding - with both of these methods, gophers have been known to retreat to a section of the burrow and then block off the tunnel. *Poison pellets - this is probably the easiest option, but care must be taken to ensure the safety of other animals (such as pet dogs or cats). And you may have to deal with the gopher body if they decide to come above ground to die. *Repellents - you can buy synthetic products that have the odor of gopher predators.

The method of getting rid of gophers is not so important as whether it is successful or not! I found a method that was both fool-proof and has kept the gophers away still. I’ve written a blog where I talk about my experiences and the help I got.
