Does anyone know about how to get rid, remove or deter voles, moles, gophers

Deer:
Build a deer fence, non-electrified.
Use 10' posts, cedar or locust or other slow rotting wood or buy
8' (minimum) or 10' Steel T-Posts from farm supply outlets. Place the
posts about 15 feet apart and attach 6' or 7' foot dogwire (2X4 welded
wire fencing, the cheapest available) to it. For additional coverage
weave tree branches (cedar is great) within the fencing for additional
height .
Or just forget the metal fencing components and use wood posts and rails
and weave tree branches within the rails for coverage, replenished as
necessary.
Gophers: trap them, relocate or feed to vultures or compost pile
Voles, never seen one. Moles, lik fire ants are Natures little rototillers
