BTW, what do you call it when you have patches of "lawn"
separated by "stuff" (like driveways, the house, the pool,
etc.). Are they lawnlets? They're about 20' by 20' (or so)
and are built into the landscaping (the house is on a hill).

Having yet to set the traps, my main question is:

1. Do people bother covering their scent on the trap?
2. Do people use two, back to back, like in the illustrations?
3. Do people bait the traps (carrots? lettuce? celery?)

No, no, and no. Gophers are gardeners. They dig tunnels under
vegetation, then cruise along, eating the roots of the plants. They may
tunnel under concrete, but not a lot, and not far. There is no food there.
