This is when the pocket gophers tunnel system is open and the time to get the best success to eliminate pocket gophers. All pocket gopher treatments should be made in the early morning for best results. You simply look for new pocket gophers holes that pop up and treat immediately with Tunnel Fill as you did before. If the pocket gopher is missed on the first attempt, the second will be much easier because the tunnel system is already closed off with Tunnel Fill and will hold much less volume meaning less product/water to fill the available space. The area should then be monitored for several days for new gopher activity and treated immediately with Tunnel Fill.

Once Tunnel Fillswells to the surface of the tunnel it is recommended that you fill the top portion of the holes with dirt or sand to make them solid and you will never know Tunnel Fill was added. The pocket gopher can not dig a new path because the gopher does not have enough time, nor is there anywhere to put the dirt the gopher is digging because Tunnel Fill is filling up the available space. The pocket gopher has no choice but to leave the tunnel system or the gopher will drown. Tunnel Filldrowns the gopher or forces him out of his gopher tunnel and burrow system where you dispatch the gopher when he surfaces or relocate to another area.

You can see by the drawing that adding Tunnel Fill through existing mounds it will work its way down to the lowest point on the system and swell up until it has reached the surface. Tunnel Fill is heavy and sinks to the bottom of the nest and then rises as it expands, filling the pocket gophers nest and tunnels all the way to the surface. These rates allow some of the Tunnel Fill to expand fast to trap the pocket gopher in the burrow, while some of the Tunnel Fill expands slowly to organically fill all the way to the furthest points of the pocket gophers burrow. Tunnel Fill is made of multiple expanding materials which expand at different rates when water is applied. Tunnel Fill takes only 5-8 minutes to fully expand which is why Tunnel Fill is so effective at removing pocket gophers giving pocket gophers no time to escape and leaves an applesauce like consistency in the burrow. This organic pocket gopher control traps the pocket gopher in its burrow and displaces the available oxygen, which drowns the pocket gopher or forces the pocket gopher to surface.

Tunnel Fill comes in pellet form and is flushed down pocket gophers holes with a water hose where Tunnel Fill expands many times it’s pelleted form to completely fill the pocket gopher burrow. Tunnel Fill can eliminate pocket gophers from your yard and fill the gopher tunnels all at the same time.
