[Bleep] Pocket Gophers!

[Perplexed]

Once again, I've got gigantic fan-shaped dirt mounts popping up across both my front and back yards. The biggest one so far is about a foot high - no kidding - and almost two feet wide. I have to go around and stomp them down and spread them out so I can mow the lawn (well, not this late in the year, obviously) without dulling the blades. Walking across the lawn in the dark is a hazardous venture, too. It gets annoying, to say the least.

I know of the various methods for getting rid of the pesky critters - traps, poison, carbon monoxide, smoke bombs, and flooding - so I was wondering which method you folks have found to work the best for you. How about it?

Gasoline and fire.

I'm with you. I am thinking about ordering one of these. Little buggers won't leave me alone.

There is only one sure way to get rid of them, Didn't you ever watch Caddyshack?

Sounds like a scene from Caddy Shack.
You need Explosives.

Buddy of mine has one of these. Awesome fun pest elimination!

I need something too, only for moles. We've had an explosion of those little bastards, and our yard (and the neighbor's yards) look like a huge map of mounds and raised tunnels. Add to that they got in our front landscaping and the neighbor's dogs dug all that up, so more work for me. I need to do some killin'.....
