I’ve done the same thing but with a much cheaper option than a leaf blower. Use an extension cord with an old hairdryer set on cold and low. It works great and your wife will love having a new hairdryer. 😂😂
I have trouble with moles, but I have found household vinegar to work really well. I put a couple ounces down the tunnel and they can no longer smell or hunt for worms.
I one time plant rows of tomatoes. Next day one or 2 missing? I plant more as i had bunch left overs. Next day 2 or 3 missing? I thought maybe somebody in neighborhood stealing my plants. Next day same thing? I look around for footprintprints. None? So i shovel some dirt out and notice big hole thought snake that big..i went to feed store and they laughed at me said it is not snake..it is gophers or moles. Bought some baits to put in there. It works. Dont remember what the bait is? Over 20 years ago.
Jay can you tell me how to tell if i have a gopher or moles? Something in just one part of my yard that is making tunnels and long ones. ive tried those worms you stick in the tunnels but that doesn't work.
The simple way is that gophers leave evacuation mounds that are fan shaped, with a earthen plug at the base of the mound. This is how they empty out the tunnels as they enlarge their runs and den. Here's a video you may find to be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/pTEzqB5wjcE/v-deo.htmlsi=5meVC5XTNrw-80eR

I remember now what the bait was, it was big worms maybe poison in it and break couple of it and put in the hole that you buy from feed store
Does the smoke bomb kill them?
