Gophers and moles rarely travel above ground, so standard fencing does little to prevent them. What about underground fencing? An underground vertical barrier can be installed using galvanized hardware cloth, with a 90 degree outward bend at the bottom. This method can be used in conjunction with standard fencing, rock and masonry walls, or alone.
