Yea! we win.A gofer got one of my plants. It's war. No more Ms. nice guy. So, how do I kill it!
You do realize that gophers are tunnelers right? Not sure how deep you planted that border fence... but chances are the critters will tunnel right under it.Yea! we win.
hi Florida. welcome. yes, I no. we are holding our breath. so far no other plant looks stressed like that one did. send positive thoughts and energy our way.You do realize that gophers are tunnelers right? Not sure how deep you planted that border fence... but chances are the critters will tunnel right under it.
I've heard some people use electronic means to keep the bastards at bay... I don't have any personal experience using them.... but here's a link to the type of thing I'm talking about. The Sonic Molechaser: Electronic Pest Control Pro
good idea. i was bustin up all day yesterday, while we were working on the barrior. I couldn't help making up funny stories involving the gofer and us. the pictures in my head were hilarius. i was having a ball. i was thinking of "Over the hedge" as a good one to watch as well. sounds like a good excuse to have a party.watch Caddyshack
Depending on your moral persuasion on the matter, gopher poison 'peanuts' are available at most garden stores. Just drop a couple in the nearest hole and good bye gophers!
You can get hot sauce...Franks redhot...mix with water and spray leaves....bottoms only at 1st, the burning mouth will repel them....if needed spray whole leaf...I always start on bottoms 1st.....it just stopped my cat the other day..good luck
*if no good.. poison...just watch out for pets..
awesome! is it poisonous or just a deterrent?for my plants i got some shake away liquid fence that you just put around the perimeter and havent had any problems with critters since. i got it at my nearest hardware store im sure yours would have it too.
great minds think alike. I have a chainlink so it makes keeping them in a little tricky and the five doggies next door think they live here anyway, so I layed everything I could find along the bottom of the fence and went next door and got me a cute little brown and white mutt who is very attached to her sister and daddy next door so they keep going back and forth pretty much at will. work in progress. haven't got a name yet. hmmmm. any suggestions anyone?If you know anyone with a terrier you can leave in your back yard for a day or two, your 'varmit problem' will likely get eaten. Westies are great gopher slayers, but pretty much any small terrier with a strong prey drive will do. As a bonus, the dog will have a ball!
