Hi, Dede.

Depends on how big your pasture is.  I've got ground squirrels here and my 
method worked on my 5 acres, and now the cats keep them from coming back.  
Try shoving regular road flares down the tunnels, or use the hose.  You have 
to do it several times before they get discouraged and move on to greener 
pastures.  I don't like poisons or traps either, but the cats catching them 
just seem to be more "natural".  Less guilt for me, I guess.  I'm actually 
more concerned about myself than the horses.  Broke my ankle by running full 
tilt and stepping in a gopher hole.  : (  Good luck.

 They are really out of control.  We have both dogs and cats that help a bit,
 but not nearly enough.  Help!!
