My new neighbors have the charming practice of flooding the gopher holes and

Anyway, thank you very much for any advice on this topic!

Can't recall ever seeing a gopher in or around Austin (Texas). So
give us a hint, where is the new place? My working guess is that
either you are posting to a newsgroup full of people who do not have
your problem and are not an ideal source of information or they are
not gopher holes. Either way, more data would help.
