Gophers are a huge problem for gardeners in much of the US, destroying plants from Minnesota (nicknamed the 'Gopher State') to California, and even Florida. Any yard where the soil conditions suit their tunnelling tastes or is brimming with food sources is likely to attract these destructive creatures.
In fact, there are several mistakes attracting gophers to your yard you may be unknowingly making. From leaving entry points open, to not protecting your most vulnerable plants, and even overwatering your yard, there are numerous things that make a garden more appealing to them. Identifying these problem points is the first step to getting rid of gophers.
