A Gopher Exterminator Gets The Job Done

Imagine all of the damage one little creature can do. It has been shown that a gopher can literally destroy a yard in a matter of days. They eat almost anything and on their way to dinner they carve a path of destruction all over the yard. If you want to rid yourself of the pest you have two options, doing it yourself or calling a gopher exterminator.

Yes, it is a problem. People have tried various ways to get rid of the little problem rodents over the years and while some do work well, other are simply an exercise in futility. Take for example the explosive method. They actually sell little explosive kits with which people can try and blow the little critters out of the ground.

The gophers burrow themselves a little hole that ends up becoming an underground maze that only they know the true way out of. This underground path takes them to all of their favorite eating spots. They will eat your roots, the bark off tress, any vegetables they can reach along with their root systems. The whole time tearing up your yard and gardens.

Problem is, he will most likely become the problem of some other poor fellow. All you did was pass him off on someone else. Anyway, at least you didn't kill him. That will make people happy. All except for you. So the next option then, since you don't want to pass him off is to poison or blow the guy up. That sounds fun.

So they do the next best thing that they can think of, they let it go somewhere. Typically they will drive somewhere far away from their home thinking the animal will not return. And they are right. He will not return to their garden but the unfortunate news is that they will now become the problem of some other unlucky person.

Gophers are a masterful little animal that somehow knows just how to get under a person's skin. That is the same reason they used a gopher in the movie Caddyshack. Because they are such a pest and one that people could relate to. Especially with the slapstick comedy that ensues from trying to catch one as they did in the movie.

Most times they will take him far from civilization. But then again, that is what they tell people. We really do not know for sure. But still, the problem will have been settled. Calling a professional is always a good idea. They have all the tools necessary to do the job and do it right. Imagine what it would cost you to purchase even half of what they have.

So if you want to try to do it yourself, you are more then welcome to go shopping and spend a hundred dollars or so on various traps, baits, or poisons. But the absolute best way to rid yourself of such a nuisance is to hire a gopher exterminator and just be done with it. Let the experts handle this, it is after all, what they do best.
