Different mowing job

[37chief]

Fairly hot today. I should be done mowing by now. I had a interesting request by one of my customers. HIs company owns an acre in a business park. I mowed it a couple months ago. The lot has a green grass area along the road about 200 ft. long 20 ft wide. His lot is full of gophers. The gophers started moving from a dry field to this green grass area. The gardeners in charge of this grass area are after the owner to do something about the gophers. There hundred's of gopher mounds. I am using my flail mower to go over the ground to flatter the mounds, with the real roller, then a pest control company will come in and treat the fresh mounds. All I can say I hope they his company, who owns the land has a lot of money. When Dad was farming he paid me 25 cents for each gopher I trapped in his bean field. Back in the 50's that was a lot of money for for me. we didn't get much of an allowance. Stan

Since you are in CA, I am surprised they don't just make you relocate them rather than destroy them.

Surprised the state doesn’t just give the gophers the land!

We have them around me in Southern California. There are several contain my area who deal with them. I have one on a yearly contract for my property. You could do it yourself but you can’t buy the poison without a license.
