What You Need To Know About Pocket Gophers Traps

By Gary Stevens


It is quite sad to think about the reality we live in nowadays. The cost of buying food and groceries are rising, meanwhile, our incomes get lower and lower. For some people, no matter how hard they work, can only receive minimum wage by the end of the month, or whenever it is that they get their pay slips. Many people revert back to farming as a means of getting food. This way, you can save money since you will not have to be buying so much anymore because you will be producing it yourself. You can also be sure that it is fresh and healthy, because it came right from your very own garden. If you have more space to utilize, you can even grow more to sell, or to give to your loved ones, friends, and neighbors. The choices are endless, and is all up to you. However, expect some obstacles you have to face when farming. Even so, there are many ways to overcome them. Read on to learn more about pocket gophers traps.

Some pests are harder to deal with than the others. Gophers are particularly difficult, because they are underground almost all the time. They feed on the roots of the crops.

They pose a big threat to our farms. Not only will they destroy the crop we so worked hard for, but they could also destroy our farms altogether. They do this by burrowing holes right under our beloved plants, and eat them right then and there.

Although they bear a small resemblance to squirrels, they are not really that similar. Gophers are much more dangerous. In fact, some of the diseases they carry could cause death.

If you only want to rid your garden of them without actually killing them, you can use a repellent. It is easy to find many different repellents you can buy in the market, or online. You can also make one at home using the mole plant. Although a famous solution, this does not guarantee success in your mission.

The most effective way to control this problem is by trapping them. Many companies manufacture different kinds of traps for people to buy and use in their farms. The best kind depends on the scale of the problem. There are many variables to think of such as the number of gophers currently present in there, how aggressive they are, how long they have been there, et cetera.

If they still persist, you could also try drowning them. Just simply find their tunnel, dig a hole, and flush down as much water as you could. Other people also suggest more impractical solutions like blowing them up.

These little creatures also present benefits, though it does not outweigh the problems they give. They help increase soil aeration, and decrease soil compaction. These can be really helpful to the state of your garden.

No matter what you decide to do with the gophers in your farm is up to you. Always remember to be careful. Assume that there is more than one at a time.
