The entire length of my barn has wild roses...HAD wild roses. I came home the other night and there were 3 huge chunks of rose bush laying on the ground. When I inspected them, they had been knawed off at the root and the root ball was totally rounded off and gone. :( I have a jack russel and 2 heelers, not sure they have done much about the moles but they are leaving trails IN my barn. Its disgusting and tearing everything up....my husband is a prairie dog killing mad man maybe I will give him a project. Critter getter sounds fun tho!

Dr. J - 2012-03-16 1:49 PM Our whole 15 acre pasture (and my riding area) was overtaken with gophers last fall and winter. They are apparently pretty bad here in NW Oklahoma anyways, but they like exploded all over my pasture. Leaving these huge soft mounds everywhere my horses tripped over when I was riding them. And then my dog and the local coyotes went bananas digging them up and leaving huge holes and trenches everywhere.
My husband works for a seed company and they fight these things on the company crop ground all the time. They have a probe thing full of poison coated pellets/seeds that you poke into the mound and squeeze a trigger to dispense the seeds into their burrows. I spent several Saturdays out there putting them in all the mounds. It was alot of work but they seem to be gone now. No new mounds or holes. I plan to stay on top of it throughout this summer too.

I had a similiar problem last year. Don't know about beer but knew I didn't want to use any type of poison out in my pasture. My husband hooked a hose to the tailpipe of our tractor and stuck the other end in the ground. Carbon monoxide does wonders.

Degrub your yard. It is the grubs that they are after. We degrub every year. It is in a bag like fertilizer and you spread it like fertilizer. You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot, probably Walmart too.

This is what we do now.
We are on sand and gophers LOVE us.....
Yes we are sand too! That must be their preferred ground, huh?
Now that I have them under control I just go out with the probe about once a month and poison any new mounds I find. I could only find about three new mounds this weekend, so those pellets must work pretty good.

Hey, what do you call the poker thing and seeds and where do I get one? SW OK is bad too:(
The poker thing hubby brings home from work is a heavy duty industrial one. Not sure where to get those - maybe a farm supply place (FarmTek?). Atwoods sells the poison seeds and a cheaper plastic type poker.
