.......My neighbor there had an unusual method. He would take a broom handle and drive it as far into the mound as he could. He would then dump a shot glass or two of gasoline down the resulting hole. He would wait a few minutes for the fumes to permeate the mound and then ignite it to eliminate the residual contamination of the gasoline, or so he reasoned. This worked every time...
I laughed out loud as this made me remember my dad killing gophers by attaching the garden house to the car exhaust and putting it down the gopher hole.... couldnt do that these days with the cost of gas!!
