"It went well. Tyler was very knowledgeable about various critters' prints he found on my property. He had good suggestions for deterring predators ... but was not helpful in implementing those measures. No references or anything. I still have yet to find someone to install the kind of fencing he suggested. "
"Replaced existing wooden privacy fences. One section was approx. 9 feet on one side of my home and the other section measured approx. 43 feet that separates my property from my neighbors. Received 5 estimates and HD Fence's quote came in about mid-range of all of them. Went with HD Fence, because Joan and Allen are great people to work with. Joan was very prompt and courteous when she returned my call. She was able to pull my old estimate even though 8 months had passed. Allen is very knowledgeable and he even comes out and does a portion of the work, which is a plus to know that the owner not only oversees the work, but he's not afraid to get his hands dirty. One other note - Joan and Allen both were able to ease my neighbors concerns and answer all his questions with the section of fence that separates our properties. Because I live in an HOA community, the fence had to meet certain requirements. Only bummer was that they do not offer painting services for the fence. Not a big deal because most of the other companies I spoke with DO NOT offer painting services as well. Would highly recommend contacting HD Fence for any fence work you may need. "

It emphasizes the importance of adhering to label instructions for products like this and not moving forward with off-label use.

Gophers do not hibernate, meaning you could, at least theoretically, have a gopher problem in your yard any time of year. During the colder parts of the year when soil isn't as easy to work with, gophers may not dig as many holes or be as active and instead will burrow deeper into the earth to go below the frost line to stay warm.
You can expect to see more gopher activity during the spring and fall when warmer temperatures make digging easy, and there is an abundance of new (or recently harvested) plant life available for them to graze on. They come out during the day and sleep at night.
You know if you have a skunk hole if you can smell the skunk’s musk. Skunks have a strong odor even when they aren’t spraying due to threats, and you may smell it coming from under a building or another hiding spot, such as a shrub or wood pile. They may also dig shallow holes around a lawn in search of food.
