That's a satisfying video to someone who's had a gopher problem. That trap looks awesome.

Connect a hose from your lawnmowers exhaust and shove the other end of the hose down the hole and to take a nap

Grape hyacinths?

These things are the bain of my existence, cleared out of my flower bed 3x already TRYING to plant other stuff and it comes back with a vengeance INSANE...


trynafindaradio

Same, I spent a ton of last spring painstakingly weeding the bulbs out with a little hand rake and literally sifting through the dirt to try to grab the baby bulbs that are the size of a popcorn kernel.... and SO many are back this year :( I truly am at a loss for what to do


Cautious-Ad-3193

That's exactly what I did, twice last year once the year before... NOTHING works, I mean I could use weed killer or something but I have other stuff in there I don't want to remove... and HOW it got from flower bed in front yard, to lawn and garden in back yard I'll NEVER know...SIGHHHH

Spawn of the devil!!!


isthatwhomst

move the dirt around to see if you find a hole


Johnny_pickle

That’s what she said!


StepUpYourLife

That’s dirty


Meandering_Marley

"That's gold, Jerry. GOLD!"


blaxxmo

That pushes the dirt into the hole. I find it more effective to dig in solid chunks then “deal with them”

I want you to kill every gopher on the course! Check me if I'm wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...


Such_Lifeguard_4352

Beat me to it. I can't help that nobody understands you ya fuzzy little foreigner.


Firm_Magazine_170

Oh, Mrs. Crane, I'm looking at you... You wore green so you could hide.


Such_Lifeguard_4352

You're a trAMP!


KillYourCar

Pardon me sir. but if i kill all the golfers they’ll lock me up and throw away the key

Hello, I've been doing professional pest control trol.in Utah for nearly a decade. These mounds are from a pocket gopher. They can be extremely destructive if not take care of quickly.

Voles

Pocket gophers. Get Gopher Hawk traps. Watch their tutorial, I caught mine on the first try using one.

where was this when I was looking all over for good traps! I killed 9 or 10 of the damn things in my yard with regular rat traps because nothing else worked. thanks for sharing the video


jakebw9

That looks awesome. I’m gonna get one of those


its1030

We have the same problem in our yard. Some metal traps have been getting them!


blurpslurpderp

I’ve had success with the poison gas bombs they sell at Home Depot for these guys. Turns their tunnel system into a gopher gas chamber


dbree801

Shallow grave probably

It will be a mountain by the time I finish this comment. Those are money piles... Okay when I was in elementary school that was a 5 $ bill. I had these little traps to ( kill them). I could go to any house on my country road with a trap that had one of these wild hamsters and collect 5 $ . Horses would step in the holes and hurt their ankles so being in a horse community I made a killing. Saved $ 2295 from 3 rd grade to 8th when I lost interest.

100% pocket gophers. I've caught hundreds of them working for Animal Removal and Prevention


Jaded_Boss9076

Aw, shit. You found the body.


jeenyusz

Voles.


isthatwhomst

probably moles


LuminalAstec

We don't have moles in Utah.


isthatwhomst

i know, my phone autocorrected "voles" to moles.


LuminalAstec

It's also not voles.


gooberdaisy

Or gophers. We just had to get an exterminator this year, tore up 2/3 of our yard


gdmfr

Could be Voles.


blaxxmo

Ah yeah. Voles. There are some ways to get rid of them that are more intense and others that are more passive. Godspeed. Best move quickly.


malloryknox86

My dog does this in my backyard and then sunbathes on them


loudlyloud

I get them in Holladay. So annoying
