Gopher Repellent

I have an ongoing problem with gophers and moles from the nearby fields. I apply the following with some success. I apply it to the perimeter with a hose sprayer.

Recipe from the Internet:

1/4 cup castor oil,

2 Tbsp of liquid detergent soap (Ivory works best).

Blend together in a blender (or mixer on "whip"). Add 6 Tablespoons water. Blend again. Apply where the moles are active: Mix 2 tablespoons of the solution into 1 gallon of water.
