Question - What is the useable lifespan out of the wire when buried.? Surely
it rots away very quickly.
There is a guy who has introduced a natural mole repellent on the market
here. You make up a solution of it & soak a band of earth around the
perimeter of your property & they won't cross it. Its main ingredients are
eucalyptus oil & castor oil. Maybe it could work with your gophers.
