How can I get rid of a gopher in my raised garden?
+5
I don't know where he's gotten in. How do I get rid of him and keep him out before planting season. Last season he raided all my veggies by coming from underneath. Don't want to hurt him but do want to use my garden. My garden is waist high and full of ric loom
thank you

Light a road flare and put it in the hole, cover with bucket. The sulfer fumes will drive him out without hurting him. The smell stays in the hole so he won't come back.
A bunch of Hometalkers have had success getting rid of them using windmills.

Gophers gone wild!
you could dig out all the soil and put in a membrane to stop him coming up then refill with the soil.
Raise it completely off the ground
They hate the smell of human hair. Sounds odd I know. Next haircut?
Thank you for all your ideas
If you or if you know anyone who has snakes, keep the skin when they shed and place a good long piece in each in hole. They won't be back. Tried and true!
