Thanks Chris for the tip !!! I even tried to flush them out with water hose and after 3 hours I thought that my whole house is going to disappear in a big sink-hole how much the soil was saturated but to no wail - they happily were chomping on my aghapantus roots next morning - I could even HEAR them - UGHHHHH

!!! I heard people putting highway flares in their holes to "smoke them out" ! My neighbor swears kitty litter helps (she means kitty poop), but no thank you - I mean yuck

. The other one has a dog and he is taking care of them - maybe I can "baby sit" for him occasionally
; ). After waking up one morning and finding 4 of my roses dug out and 2 of my Lilacs too I just wanted to buy a BeBe gun and camouflage suit and sit out at dusk waiting for them to pop up !!! I became desperate after lawn started developing big mounds of dirt - that was it !!!I called pest control and they applied pellets under ground . They had to repeat procedure 3 times until they were eliminated

!!! They said they never saw holes so big and that he was a giant one - thanks God he is in gopher heaven now ! BUT, new can come in spring time, so I am anxiously looking through my window every morning hoping not to see any sines of them

, especially that I am planing to plant vegetables too this spring (we just bought this house a year ago so I am making my garden from the scratch :roll: .
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try it . I already placed chicken wire under my raised beds so little beast can't chomp on tomato roots. :$($$!:
May the force be with us !!!

I feel like I am in Donald Duck and Chip and Dale cartoon !!!
