Digger's Gopher Wire

Yes, the 3/4-inch mesh is effective against most burrowing animals, including moles, voles, and ground squirrels. It creates a physical barrier that prevents these pests from tunneling up into your garden beds.

To install it properly, you will need to excavate the soil from your garden bed, line the bottom and sides with the wire, and then refill the bed with soil. It is most effective when installed during the initial construction of a raised bed or before planting.

The wire is designed for long-term underground use and is built to withstand soil moisture. While some surface oxidation may occur over many years, it is durable enough to maintain its structural integrity and pest-blocking capabilities for several seasons.

Yes, 3/4-inch mesh is the industry standard for gopher and mole control. It is small enough to block the smallest burrowing rodents while still allowing beneficial earthworms and soil nutrients to pass through freely.

Since the roll is 2 feet wide, you can use it to line the bottom of a raised bed of any size. If your bed is taller than 2 feet, you may need to overlap the wire or use additional fencing material to cover the sides, as the wire is primarily intended to protect the root zone from below.
