Gophers can destroy your lawn and garden in search of worms and other insects. The higher quality your soil, the higher the chances are that a gopher will be attracted to your garden. Fortunately, you can repel gophers simply using a solution of castor oil, dish soap and water. After mixing the solution, you need to spray it throughout your lawn and garden using a spray bottle or hose with a spray attachment.
