Safe and Natural Gopher Control

Everyone wants a safe and natural way to control gophers, and no one I talk with really wants to use gopher poisons or traps. These methods are expensive, time consuming, and may or may not actually work. Gardeners want to save our gardens while eliminating burrowing rodents, and this remarkably easy to use product 'Gopher Goo' does just that. It is fast, easy, and gets the job done.

In our garden gophers, moles, voles and other burrowing pests are NOT tolerated, we simply mix up some goo with water, let it gel for a few minutes, and then fill their tunnels and burrows with this safe and natural starch based product and they are forced out, their safe home is now filled with goo and will remain so for years to come to prevent another gopher from moving into it.

They can be caught and re-located, or simply dispatched by your cat, dog or a handy shovel . . . either way they are no longer chewing on the roots of your plants and terrorizing your garden space. We just did this in our own yard, and the cheeky gopher was last seen running from our big tabby cat, literally toward the hills . . . it was hilarious to see the tables turned and the gopher on the run!

Although it is winter time it has been warm and gophers are still active and digging burrows for a winter breeding session. This is the perfect time to disrupt their life cycle and prevent a spring infestation of new gophers. Head on over to www.gophergoo.com and pick up some goo to have on hand so that when that next gopher intrusion occurs you are ready for action : )
