Will a snake keep gophers away ?

The bullfrog population is thriving.

Time to call Phil and Jase. I love me some fried froglegs.

My order of a dozen of these arrived Saturday and I've set some of them this morning on fresh bomb craters. I'm off to golf and I'll check them later.

Report?

Report?

OK, after supper, I went out and checked the 4 traps I set this morning. I had gophers in two of them and both were still alive. I found that surprising and one of them put a bite on my glove -- glad I was wearing one. I had to dispatch them and toss them into the woods. I set two more traps on other mounds and will check them out tomorrow.

I have found the same. These traps trap them and don't kill them typically. They work so good that they catch them around the shoulders instead of behind them that will suffocate them.
Its working, so thats whats important.

I'll be ordering some of these traps. I like that the animals get caught live since that way I get the pleasure of killing the little pesky bastards myself. ;-)

If my wife had a choice of 12 gophers or on king snake, she would hand feed the gophers to keep them happy. I thought the world was being struck by a comet when she saw a small snake in our yard. NOTHING would do but I chase down this THREAT to life and limb and kill it. I was glad the little sucker was so quick and went under the fence, but then I had to face the scorn of a very upset redhead who accused me of not taking her safety seriously. The fact that I was laughing did not help any. LOL

I just thought of something. How about the power generator exhaust? I bet that thing puts out carbon monoxide like crazy and should not be that hard to adapt to a hose. Noticed mine and the neighbors all have an end on them about 1 inch in diameter with a screen to keep out trash.

Prolly be worth a try. Run high enough RPM to cool it, not many p/u around without cat converter.
