Reasons For Hiring A Gopher Exterminator

By Myrtle Cash


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.

Let's take a look at option number one. First, you will have to try and figure out which of the holes the gopher comes out of the most. Fortunately for you this part is easy. All it requires is for you to sit and watch the little bugger. Of course, what you will find is that they might not have a favorite hole, and they will come out of any one of the many they have made.

In the process of trying to rid yourself of these animals there are those who are against doing harm to them and want to be a bit more humane. So they will attempt to trap the little critters which actually is something that sounds easier than it actually is. They will usually have a variety of entrance holes and knowing which one to place the trap by is difficult.

Trying to find the hole that is the best one to place the trap on top of is basically luck of the draw. But, if you do get lucky and happen to trap the gopher, people do not know what to do next. Most of the time when people take this route they fail to plan it all the way through and then end up with a caged animal with nowhere to go.

They have sold gopher hole explosives for years although they might be harder to come by these days with all of the terrorism out there. Of course you can poison the little creature but again this could be detrimental to your own gardens. If you drop poison everywhere you might be doing more harm then good. If you have pets you can forget this method.

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.

Calling in a gopher exterminator is always the best option. As you have seen here, trying to handle the problem yourself only creates more problems for you and those around you. If you let the people who do this for a living handle the problem it is there issue and taken off your hands. Nothing to worry about anymore.
