how big of a place is it? the feed store by my mom and dads rents a contraption that looks like a plow disk but it has a hopper on it that u fill up with mole poison. drag the disk around, as the disk turns, it cuts a trench in the ground and drops pellets in the ground. dad rents one every year or so. seems to work.

I had tried drowning them, but they always manage to escape.

Tractor Supply or the feed stores have mole/gopher poison (pellets). Poke a sharp rod around the outer edge of the hill until it goes down easily. You have then found the tunnel. Carefully pack the dirt around the "probe rod" by pushing the rod toward the edges of the hole. carefully remove the probe. Put a teaspoon full of gopher pellets into the hole. Take a little bunch of grass or weeds and carefully poke them into the hole being careful not to get dirt on the pellets. Lightly add dirt to the now grass/weed covered hole. Do this to EVERY hill. One (1) Gopher can have many hills. In about a week your gopher problem is gone. I've done this many times every year and had great success. If you have woods nearby, you are gonna have a war on your hands.

Good luck and may God bless.

They love grubs. Treat the yard for grubs and they will leave.
