Getting rid of gophers?
I'm in Southern California (North county San Diego to be exact). We've got a large slope in our backyard. Beyond the slope is a field that is not our property. Recent plantings on our slope (fruit trees, including avocados) are under attack by gophers (they love the roots).
I've had the exterminators out and they've done their toxic chemical spill but it only kept them away for 2 months and was rather expensive. Does anyone have any more cost-effective methods to get rid of gophers and keep them away? Do repellents work? Do I need to bury a six foot chain-link fence around my property?!?
