13. Frankly, I never gave a damn

They were in the front yard and it was destroyed by dandelions and Feed & Weed (!). It took 3 years to come back. There were a couple of gophers out there at one time.

My late husband tried all of the *tricks* to get rid of them ranging from rabbit urine to dumping various things into the tunnels. No luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad I'm not alone!
