I go full Nazi on them with Gopher Getter poison gas bombs, just light the fuse and put one down each tunnel. Fuck the little bastards

the holes are pretty tiny. Like golf ball sized. Will gas bombs fit?

Stick the hose in there for awhile.

Yes they will fit, about the size of a pielopete

We've used the road flare technique. There was also the talented Maine coon cat from down the street. A patient cat is 10 times better than a dog for this type of prey.

. Our neighbor started feeding a wild cat and all the critter problems went away.
Then she had baby wild cats and we get coyotes around for a bit

From the comments in the posted road flare video...

Water hose, duct tape and a pickup truck. Tape water hose to tail pipe, turn on pickup, insert other end of hose into mole tunnel and let run for about fifteen minutes. Carbon monoxide is heavy and works it's way down into all the little crooks and crannys really gets them where they sleep.

One of my rentals is beset mit burrowing rodents.  For a while, there was a six toed cat in the neighborhood who was always waiting patiently by the gopher tailings when I came there to mow.

The tenant told me that there was a Great Blue Heron who visited once in a while, and was more effective than the cat.  So whatever you can do to encourage GBH might do the trick.

These are what I use, "Gopher Gassers"

OK 1k, how goes the war?

Any luck....    I ask because I am looking for advise for the next round of the pesky invaders
