I hate to admit this, as it environmentally sucks, but my husband poured a bit of gas under the area where they were hiding. One day later they moved on out. Eeks. Sorry environment.<br /><br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-24321208398984717022010-02-15T20:30:55.469-08:002010-02-15T20:30:55.469-08:00You will beat the gophers!
