Yeah. After spending about $30 or $40 on noxious chemicals, and who knows
what it costs for 10,000 gallons of well water to be pumped, plus possibly
damaging the steps and retaining walls (from the water pressure), I now
realize why the $9 *reusable* trap is the way to go.

I have the trap ready just in case I see any gopher mounds tomorrow, as
I tramped them all down and raked them over for an hour today, so, anything
that shows up tomorrow is fresh (and would mean the flooding failed anyway).
