I have both moles and gophers and got rid of all of them on my 5 acres. First thing you need to do is determine if it's a mole or a gopher because they have different diets. If it's a mole the mound will be perfectly round and they like to eat worms. So the poison for them is a product I use called Talprid. It looks like a gummy worm.
If it's a gopher, The mound will be somewhat "U" shaped. They eat grain. For them I use Prozap (zinc phosphate rodent pellets).
In either case I determine which way the runway goes out from the mound. Then I go out about 6 to 12 inches from the mound, and use a very small diameter rod to locate the runway. Once I find that, I use a three-quarter inch diameter rod to make a hole big enough to either put the worm or the pellets in depending whether it's a gopher or a mole. Then I make sure the hole that I made with a rod is covered so no light goes in the runway. Works every time but sometimes you got to be a little persistent. The minute I see a new mound pop up I immediately go out and usually I can get in the first try.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
