    They have tried with 22s but seems ineffective.

    Phostoxin can be thrown in a hole and covered and gas them but a farmer can't buy it.

    By the way .. I don't hug gophers or eat them . Typically not within 30 feet of them.
    We can get Phostoxin, just need a proper pesticide applicators license , will being trying it again in 22 but wasn't happy with the trials we did in 21.

      At one time, there was an outfit selling a foam system. Injected down hole.
      Seen it done and it worked.

        We got 5¢ per tail in the old days ,delivered to the town office. We would go into town set our traps on the baseball diamonds, then go pick beer bottles in the ditch, cash those in. Those were the days

            Our pocket gopher problem was getting to be a big problem as they were eating the roots of alfalfa and caragana, so we just got serious about digging into the burrow and treating them to a special breakfast. Flatten the mound.
