Gophers in back yard + Dogs = mess

Carl Spackler is your man

ETA: I see that others are versed in the ways of Spackler.

if a gopher gets in my fenced backyard he’s fricked. my dog is on him.
i have a 2 acre front yard. gophers are out of control. i’ve tried traps, pellets, even sat in the yard with a .22 waiting for them to pop up.
i’m told if you get rid of grubs you’ll kill their food supply and the move on.
good luck

Provided you live where you can discharge a gun in your yard, do this:

Starting about an hour before sundown, quietly walk your yard with a shotgun.

Look for dirt being tossed or a mound with an open hole. (An open hole means it is working. They plug the hole when finished.)

Hold shotgun pointed at the open hole and wait for it to bring up another load of dirt.

Pull the trigger.

This is not a joke post. I had a terrible gopher problem last year and completely eliminated them doing the above.

They're also great lapdogs.

False. My momma had one of them and he was a fricking jackass

Did she have any rodents on her lap?

I rest my case.
