It is that time again. Ground will soften and they expand the tunnels.  >:(

Dust off the armaments and get ready to slay dirt rats.

No lawn for us at this apartment, but I've been waging war against the mice lately. Outside and not indoors thankfully!
I've tried a lot of devices, and it seems like the old school snap traps are doing the best  ;D

A man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong 8)
Anybody have an emergency beer?

I thought I had eradicated them, but another one turned up.  Now it's pushing up daisies!

I have dug crapload of holes for traps and not a single dead dirt rat yet! My backyard looks like it was bombed. Even tried baited rat traps, nothing.

Live next to an infested field so really considering a Gopher X. It is damn expensive but if effective I can justify it. This war will never end at my house.

It's like the Star Trek Tribbles!  I kill one and two more pop up in its place!  My chickens are even trying to kill it, but it just looks like "Whack A Mole" with them running from hole to hole trying to bonk it on the head!
