So we have a huge gopher problem. This neighborhood is absolutely infested with them and there are hundreds of holes between our yard and the neighbor's yard. We have tried baiting them, but it just doesn't take care of the problem and I worry about other animals being poisoned should they eat a poisoned gopher. A quick Google search turned up an alternative: Barn Owls.
Apparently, one barn owl pair can consume up to 2000 rodents in a single year. Hell yea! But to buy the premade boxes is not cheap. After some research, there are tons of plans online to build your own barn owl box for minimal cost. Yea baby! So I believe one of my next projects will be building and installing one of these boxes. I am totally excited about this prospect. Besides, who wouldn't want to see cute little owlets growing up?
What are gopher solutions you have tried and how successful were they?
