Participantjp, I tried that one, they don’t eat the garlic but it only pushes them a few feet and they will go around or under it. I’m not sure I have normal gophers, I may need to contact some scientists because it’s possible that I have a mutant species with superhero abilites, they may be related to the monty python killer bunny. They got by a retaining wall that goes below the surface two feet, past a stretch of concrete, beyond poison pellets, poison gas and a trap laden minefield about twenty feet long to their promiseland of my front yard. I fully expect that the morning after I place the solar powered sonar repellers, I will walk out to my car and find them sitting on the wall, smoking cigarettes, drinking 40oz malt liquor and laughing at me while I look down to see the repellers broken into a dozen pieces. My gophers have tattoos and wear raiders jersey’s. I was thinking of waiting hawk’s method of a .22 but not sure if that will kill them, it might just make them mad, I may need to jump straight to Allan’s aresenal. I’m just afraid that the authorities will get suspicious if I start running internet searches for “yellow cake uranium.”

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

ParticipantWhere was the place that you rented. In my twenty years as a Temeculan I’ve lived in 7 places and have never seen a single roach. When I was younger and lived near the coast and in some apartments in college, I saw them, maybe not an infestation but they were there. From my understanding, while they are practically invincible, they can only live 10 days without water (and 10 days without a head) so their one weakness is water and I think the arid climate here makes them not so prevelent.
I’ve found numerous black widows, some scorpions, a couple tarantualas, snakes, coyotes, ants and the smartest most risilent gophers on the planet, but no roaches or termites (I’ve never seen a house tented locally). So I would file that under the “scardey’s long list of irrational fears.”
If you do find yourself needing pest control services, vineyard valley pest control is my favorite, hands down. A locally owned outfit that is a little on the environmentally conscious side but they are good and they know their stuff. The only time I ever had ants was during the times when I switched to a cheaper pest control company or tried it on my own, always ended up going back.
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.

ParticipantIt only feels that way CAR, it’s actually nothing out of the norm and nothing we wont survive. I actually had a lengthy discussion with my son last night as I helped him with his homework. It’s amazing how beneficial it is to an adult to relive their education through their children, you learn so much more the second time through. The lad made a huge mistake, he asked his ubergeek dad about adam smith, karl marx, socialism, and a few other topics. That was at 6 p.m., at 11:15, we finished. I went into Phil Jackson, zen master mode, and the prodigal son made me proud for noticing something I never did. After we recount economic cycles of the last few hundred years, in different parts of the world, he made the profound observation that as time wears on, the cycles are the same but the consequences become milder. As history progressed, the consequences of the down cycles became less life threatening.
Of course he wasn’t as eloqunet as his old man, I believe he made mention that during downturns in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, people died of starvation. Nowadays, regardless of how bad things get, people still eat, in fact, many poor people are fat, even homeless people are fat.
Maybe I wasn’t so proud of that observatoin but it is one I would have never noticed without his help. We are in our generation’s “new deal.” We are all still eating fine, we may not be able to roll on 22″ rims, but were fine. And as Cabal pointed out, government intervention is not only not new, it’s never not present. Same product, different wrapper.
