What about moles?  They are driving me crazy!

Gopher Gassers.  They work and they are fun for the whole family!

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

to keep cats out of potted plants and trees, but an entire garden might be difficult to cover.

My lawn company suggested using special worms that have pesticide in them.  They were quite expensive. 

How are the gassers?

They just choke them until they die.

I always use the gassers.  They have never failed me.  My father swears he can stick a hose down the mole/vole hole and run water until the critter starts to dig out one of the little shafts, then he whacks it with a shovel, but I don't have that kind of patients.

A friend and I tried the water hose method in an effort to dislodge a black snake from under the slab on my patio. Do you know how fast a pissed-off five foot long black snake can move?  Did you know that two middle aged guys can move faster?

May you live in interesting times.

Our yard is like walking on a sponge.  It would take several fire trucks feeding 2-1/2" (diameter) hoses to flood those suckers.

Hmmmm...guess the Admin didn't like my comment - it's no longer here.

Well, it may have been a little harsh for a cat lover, anyway....

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
