Love this idea and will try it. These type things sure work to keep the mice etc out of the house. We had a problem with mice making themselves at
home when we were gone, but no more---mouse poop on the front porch, but they do not enter.
Gasoline? Canīt imagine that is very good for the plants, especially if we light it on fire. Besides, I donīt think Laurieboats would appreciate the
fire since the gophers main home is right next to her garage with a wood roof and we have no fire department. 
Now we are off to buy some gum---not sure if they have juicyfruit around here---wonder if they are particular about flavor.
If we have to, we may even learn to play golf.
With all this help, we will win this war!
Thanks
Diane

Had a big black 3 legged cat in the states that would sit behind tumble weeds in front of their holes for hours till one would come out and he would
murder them! They never had any blood on them so I guess somehow he broke their necks, they were as big as he was. He would sometimes deliver them to
the door.

Diane let us know how you make out. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story.
I can just see you and John in full combat clothes on.
What was that other movie with Bill Murray when he said "Hello Wabbit"?
Let us know if you need us to bring down some Juicy Fruit.

We found a large pack of Juicy Fruit in town, but we had to leave Bahia Asuncion sooner than expected. And before we left, Mr. Gopher would not open
one of his doors----I think he does not like John very much, or maybe he has indigestion from the fish hook he ate!
So, we left the gum with Jaime and Elide (who will be your neighbors) and asked Elide to keep her eyes open when she waters for us and if Mr. Gopher
opens a door, greet him with what we hope will be his final meal.
Actually, most of the gum we gave to their kids --- just saved a few for Mr. Gopher. They hope it works because another gopher who lives in your
neighborhood recently ate the roots and killed their seven small palm trees----so it is war.
So we will return with new combat fatigues and a truck full of weapons. 
See ya in BA

Air rifles are legal in Mexico and one of the more powerful units will certainly do in the gophers. My friend told me the topes refer to the mounds
while tuzas refer to the gophers.

Thanks, we will think about that.
Interesting the different use of the language in different parts of Baja.

Pomp: that might be the worse swing I've ever seen - well, except for Charles Barkley.

We were going to try some but found the Juicey Fruit at one of our local stores----can't wait to get back and see if it worked.

I'm curious if Dad's old recipe for varment death worked on your Baja variety. Any update?
By the way - he said any gum will work.

No update yet---we are not in Baja right now, but will report later. We left the gum with our caretaker.
