Show Bopliop Control: Serious Gophers are becoming more numerous each day based on the number of mounds we see as we travel around, according to Melvin S. Burningham, USU Area Horticulturist. GOPHERS MAY be a serious problem especially if vacant or neglected fields surround your premises. They may burrow into your garden and eat the bulbs in the ground, cut off tree or shrub roots, throw mounds up in the lawn, or cause the water to get away and never reach the end of the row.
