Narcissus? was created by Far Off Farm
I'm wondering if Naked Ladies have the same mole/gopher repellent properties as daffodils - or - if Daffodils repelling critters is a hoax. OR - is there another way to create small islands inside my fortress of oleander? Euphorbia? Expensive! No?

PS Pls pardon any faux pas's - am new at community emailing THANK YOU

Gophers do not like garlic, shallots, and several varieties of onion -- excluding some of the \"sweet onions\". You can plant a barrier of these things -- to no avail because they crawl out at night along the surface and start a new digging inside the island.

Understand that the once a gopher population gets going, you can have new baby gophers every 10 days.

Vibrators will keep gophers away in about a five-foot radius. The long-term cost is prohibitive.

Hungry six-toed cats work reasonably well -- just ask the Mentone growers association.

Hiring professionals to pump methane into the holes and ignite it works very well because no animals will use the carbon-tainted tunnels.

Following directions on strychnine poisoning and applying every week, then every month, then every three months can irradicate them completely.
