How do you eliminate gophers and raccoons from back yards?

Answer 1

Repellent plants, row covers, and wire guards are ways to eliminate gophers and raccoons from back yards. Castor beans or squills and prickly-leaved squash vines respectively repel gophers and raccoons. Row covers tend to protect the above-ground parts of back yard plants while wire guards need to be anchored firmly in the ground and to posts.

Answer 2

you can catch a striped gopher by blocking all of its holes except one. then you put bait in front of the one you did not cover. then you take a fishing pole tie a swivel on it in a lasso form and put that around the hole when he come up pull on the fishing pole and snag him.

Answer 3

An arrangement with a local government's or professional company's animal control unit is the way to exterminate a gopher. Extermination without governmental or professional services requires personal agility and protective equipment as well as an understanding of appropriate control measures. It tends to be best not to attempt these measures on one's own and without proper approval, just as one would not try to burn brush without contacting local dispatch.
