Possibly a flex pipe on your lawn mower exhaust ,put it down the holes for a wile.I do that with woodchucks alot and you don't even have a body to bury. Frank C.

I wonder if that could work for fire ant piles.
Drop a box on top of the mound and start her up.

I would like to go on record as saying I only have less anxiety (and more happiness) when I have disposed of gophers that have caused damage on my property.    Otherwise Im into live and let live and really do enjoy what was created for us here on this earth.    Here is where the delima once occurred.       I disced the field and my wife came out to check it out with Crickett the Jack Russell.  Crickett might be a little bit like Manorwood.   He has an on-off switch and just likes to kill them when he sees them.  Crickett got real excited in the field and started digging.  My wife investigated and "rescued" some "baby mice".    She cared for them for a few days before I had a good look at them.  I noticed the heads were strangely large for the body size.  We discussed it and scrached our heads a while and decided they might not be mice.  After much debate we realized they were BABY GOPHERS......

Well,  now she was attached to them and I could not fathom the idea of raising the destructive little @$^&*#%.  After much philosphic debate my wife finally decided to allow me to have my way with them when she was gone.   After working so hard to rid ourselves of them... we get a good laugh over the baby gopher incident to this day.
