Any suggestions to fight gophers/moles? eating roots of roses and other shrubs. I've searched some on the internet and found one person planting in tubs called "squats". I live outside of Tyler, Texas and do not know of a supplier. Our rose nursery had never heard of a squat when asked about this. I am mainly concerned about the roses. It was suggested to use a 15 gallon squat to be put in ground. We are over-run with this pest and I've tried the usual (pellets & traps) with no success.
