pest control amateurs

This evening, we are going to try to get rid of this guy:

(Actual gopher not pictured)

Kent and I have no experience with gophers whatsoever, and hurting him isn't ideal, but he's destroying our backyard. We just don't appreciate the mounds of dirt that pop up every other day on our lawn.

The method we're going to try:

Drown him out of his hole and bop him on the head with a shovel when he comes out of another burrow. We found this wonderful information on the world wide web. If you have any other advice, less violent perhaps, we would love to hear it.

Poor little guy. His time has come.
