Hi larrym
Why don’t you use whirly-jigs. Gophers don't like the vibrations those things give off. Some people use kitty litter to fill the holes.

As someone who's constantly battling the little vermin, isn't this treating the symptom not the cause? Gophers are there to eat certain things like grub worms. Get rid of the worms, and the gophers will go on their own. Selling anti-gopher remedies might be a better business because they never work for long, but getting rid of their food is the permanent solution.

Sucks

puts some radioactive material in the hole and kill everything

Get rid of the worms?

downunder has the right idea...

and i dont have Gopher holes. Armadillo burrows yes

So you're bottling pee?

Wow, the pee solution. Never heard of it. I wonder if blood meal or bone meal would work as well - the idea is that there is a predatory smell around.

I am not thrilled about sacrificing animals to save lawns, but I can agree that animals raiding gardens need to be discouraged.

I have a feeling your pee solution might already be available in finer organic boutiques everywhere ;-)

I started out thinking this was the stupidest idea on the block, but it isn't, really. If it convinces the unwanted animals to move along, that's good.

But I think you need to do your homework about gophers first, and make this less of a folksy remedy and more of an ecologically sensible solution.

Of course, your comment about the leaf blower and the poison bombs leaves me under no illusion about your primary motivation, but in your idea there is a glimmer of hope ;-)

If you can't be bothered peeing in the hole yourself I'llbehappyto sell you some of mine.
