I tried all those ways to get rid of gophers, too. Then I read that gopher tunnels could be miles & miles long - who knew?
So I gave them those gopher be-gone pellets and *supposedly* they take it back to their main house, where they all chow down on it. That's what the ad said about it, but I dunno.
Haven't seen a gopher since I started using it, but it's still early in the year. I could see some any day now.
Got it at Lowes, I think.
