Guess it is time to drag out the Earth Boxes, put in some new soil and get the tomatoes started. Anything else is a lost cause!
I have a lot of gophers and I leave them be and for some reason they don't go in my garden? I guess they don't like the tilled soils or something.
But if you are talking about ground squirrels then get rid of them, they are very destructive. they will eat watermelon cantaloupe, tomatoes plus they can damage building wiring etc.
I had a friend who had to spend thousands of dollars because they got in to the engine and destroyed the wiring in his new truck.
