I have gophers coming out my ears.
Gophers can be a major problem once they move into the neighborhood.
It is a sad fact, but there are really no humane and effective solutions of which I am aware. Often people who are reluctant to kill things find that gophers can push even them over the edge. Preferences are based on which method has been successful for the person with a preference. The professionals there can give you good advice as to how to most effectively reduce gopher problems in your area. They may also be able to help you obtain the traps or control chemicals you need.
