There are eco-friendly and effective home remedies that can keep these critters at bay without harming your plants, pets, or the environment. Mole Busters is here to share the top five DIY gopher repellent solutions that actually work.

Castor oil is a natural gopher repellent that irritates their digestive systems and drives them away.

2. Plant Gopher-Repellent Flora

Some plants are natural gopher deterrents thanks to their strong scents or unpalatable taste.

3. Coffee Grounds: Waste with a Purpose

Used coffee grounds are a cost-effective way to repel gophers while enriching your soil.

4. Ultrasonic Repellents

While not entirely DIY, ultrasonic devices emit high-frequency sounds that gophers find unbearable.
