Since 1966, the leading expert in pocket gophers; tracking, trapping, elimination, biology, gestation, lifecycle, breeding, behavioral sciences, health & safety, social structure, technical and forensic expert, foundation and subsoil instability, ineffective & dangerous methods, writer, speaker, trainer, technical writer, testing & development, and advocate for public safety, soil & water conservation, consultant, inspections, and expert witness. Public safety is paramount, keeping individuals from using deadly, dangerous and ineffective products and services, is above all a lifetime mission. While many refuse to learn about this highly intelligent and social rodent, they will sell products and services to the public that will never be consumed by these rodentia, as they’re Herbivores and eat only live plants. For over 55 years, there’s nothing we haven’t seen; gophers inside walls, under bathtubs, inside basement ceilings, under basements, under pools, inside dressers, inside dens over 20’ deep, tunneling under roads, sidewalks, curbing and pipe, even on top of buildings. We want to help everyone with facts to their pocket gopher questions, we will try and post images as well. For the record, I was asked to come to this platform by someone with a Federal agency to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation and ideas that are injuring people. When I write, “If anyone has a question about gophers to contact me†I’m NOT soliciting, I’m simply saying to post a response and I will reply and give you facts, not fiction. I have enough work and customers, I didn’t come here of all places to look for business. I have sent a letter to the team here to clarify the complaining by two individuals so right now, I’m not sure if I will stay or not. It’s quite disappointing to come here, spend hours responding to questions or posts, only to have people accuse you of soliciting when I did no such thing. I have over 55 years of experience and it appears that’s not welcome here by some individuals.
