Can someone tell me the name of the rodent. It not beaver, nor chipmunk, no gopher, nor groundhog. Do I have to coin a new english word?

No chemicals, no poison. Plus, cats like rodents. It's a fact. :) The truth is my dog is more successful at catching the pocket gophers than my trap. I may just try your milk jug and water trick. Ohh, if I happen to be your neighbor...PLEASE don't deposit them in my ditch. :D @Melissa Your solution is a natural one. No chemicals, no poison. Plus, cats like rodents.

It's not the most humane action, but what else do you do? Release the buggers only to catch them again tomorrow? I always suppose you could deposit the little bundles of joy in the neighbors ditch...

Fox urine...wow! LOL @Marci My "better half" just laughed LOUDLY over "the Tomato Plant that ate Tillamook." We also would love a tomato plant to rival Tillamook. LOL I will look into Oxheart Orange FOR SURE. So far our best plants are the Early Girls. @Melissa Your comment seriously just gave me the best visual EVER. You must have as many gophers as we do. My question is...what do you do with the gopher once it's in your milk jug? <strong>I really hate offing the buggers...but their holes are a hazard to the horses and cattle. </strong>Thank you so much for your sense of humor as well. I needed a laugh! @Frugal Wench I seriously have a lot to learn about gardening. Fox urine…wow! LOL

When you see a gopher pop out of a hole, take a milk jug filled with water out to the hole. Dump the water in the hole and then wait a couple minutes. The gopher will run out of its hole and into your milk jug. We have caught hundreds of gophers this way. You’re going to laugh, but I have found a super easy way to catch gophers.

How would you feel if you found Tivo's neck in a trap? Yikes, I'm taking you off my RSS lady..
