gophers

I got gophers in my yard. Now normaly I would just shoot them but I live in the middle of town and I can't use a gun. Not even a pellet gun. Not inside city limits. I can't use poison because of the cats and dogs and deer in my neighborhood. I can't use lethal traps because of the same. So I am thinking non-lethal traps. Any Ideas?

Try Bazooka bubble gum. I know, sounds crazy, but a friend of mine is a grounds keeper at a golf course and he told me about it. I had a whole colony of the damn things and don't have any now at all. Worked for me and is cheap...........

Just unwrap a few pieces and drop them in an active hole.

Wasn't my idea, but my buddy Bill. He thinks it "plugs them up" and they die. I have no clue, but it has worked for me...
