I wonder if the sonic spike would work for gophers here. The only thing is that, at the community garden, placing it where I would not step on it and it would not attract enough attention to get stolen might be tricky.

A nearby community garden is bordered by houses that have outdoor cats. Every time I walk past that garden, a cat comes out looking for attention every 20 feet or so. I heard they didn't have rat problems there last year, even though there were a couple chicken houses, but I haven't heard if gophers are a problem there.

I was also thinking of moving to another part of the community garden (it's really big), farther from the fields that the gophers come from.
