Only plants I have left are bell peppers, tomatoe and wild weeds. Tried gopher snakes the hose and those thumper things.

I've had decent luck with crushed, hot red pepper seeds. I sprinkled them in the entire garden area and repeated weekly, (or more frequently if I saw signs of digging). You also have to reapply after it rains. Purchased them at a dollar store so it was quite inexpensive. Good luck.
I had a ground hog and it was ever so persistent. I used those sticky bug traps. I placed them where I knew it was digging. Nothing else worked, but these. I showed my pets first, let them sniff them (do not let their noses touch them!) For moles in my garden, I used kebab sticks put in the ground pointy side up.

If you or if you know anyone who has snakes, keep the skin when they shed and place a good long piece in each in hole. They won't be back. Tried and true!
