Help! I've been invaded by a gopher family, and every morning I find =
another catastrophe they have caused in my garden.  They literallye pull =
plants down and cause them to disappear without a trace.  While I don't =
like to do any harm to any living being, I'm ready to say goodbye to =
these unwelcome visitors.  I just bought some "bombs" --any other =
advise??

I've had good luck with the traps.... Dig out the hole, place trap inside
and the fill the hole with something yummy .. I used flowering kale .. and
next day!  Presto, dead gopher!  So far he's the only one we've trapped,
but there have been no more hills in our yard either!  Hard to believe one
little guy created all that damage,but it looks like he was alone!  (I
hope!!!!)
