ah, I misread.. I thought you did put wire in the ground. I've got traps set in the garden, but they don't seem to be in active tunnels now. Did get a big one in the orchard a couple of weeks ago though. I'm using a cinch type that seems to work pretty well. I've wanted to try carbon monoxide, but have a Prius.. My lawnmower has a covered exhaust, so the nasty old pickup might get the vote. I hate them.. They leave daffodils alone, and supposedly Allium bulbs too.
