Since I’m ranting about the gophers, I’ve tried everything and have not caught a single one, they have a logistical advantage as there is a fenced in, multi acre hoa owned hillside desending down from right behind my place so I cannot bring in a predator or flush them out with water. I’m convinced they eat the poison pellets as an appetizer, they trigger the traps without getting stuck in them, I am just going to give up.

I spent one summer feeling like Bill Murray in Caddyshack tracking down unstoppable gophers on my hillside. It was amazing, overnight 10 more holes would pop up.
I tried pellets, etc. with no luck.
The solution to the problem turned out to be getting a cat. Gophers took off shortly thereafter and I gave that cat a bonus.
