When I lived in San Bernardino I had 4 gophers. the 2 in the back I flooded them out and when they poppped out I shot them with my 22 rifle. The cops never came lol. I figured the larger the caliper ups the chances of police in that city. The 2 in the front I flooded and kicked them in the head so hard with my steal toed work boots. Man those little suckers can fly. Fun times. I have probably 10-20 gophers currently on my acre but do not think I can shoot them here. Be funny to put a video on utube kicking the crap outta em.

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. Can you buy gopher snakes and just release them into the holes? Since you are fearful of zombies, you can have my gophers because zombies are no match for my gophers.[/quote]

I tried everything including staking them out with BB gun (should have used the 22), this is the only thing that work for me….

There are roaches here, but I think they are the outdoor roaches version: those really big ones that come in from outside, similar to Hawaii. Not the smaller roaches that live in your house with you. We use pest control every 3 months on the outside perimeter, and no problem.

A bigger problem is mice! Have mouseproofed the house twice in 4 years, and they keep coming back and making new holes. Not found of glue traps, or the snap traps as they are inhumane. Snap traps don’t always kill them in one fell swoop, and it is just painful to find one alive scrambling to live. The poison pellets cause them to die of thirst, and they come running out for water, and sometimes die inside the walls, so until the rotting carcass is gone, it is a smelly ordeal. And, the tenant had 3 cats and that didn’t stop the problem, so go figure.

I’ve found numerous black widows, some scorpions, a couple tarantualas, snakes, coyotes, ants and the smartest most risilent gophers on the planet, Since I’m ranting about the gophers, I’ve tried everything and have not caught a single one,[/quote]

Use baby carrot sticks on the opposite side of the traps. They cannot resist carrots and lose all sense of danger it seems.
Anyway works for me.

As far as the roaches I agree it’s probably a water issue.
