A friend of mine gave me some poisoned wheat that the County Health Department gave him for Rats. That worked to kill Gophers before I had the Cats.
I also used to by some stuff called Gopher Mix from Home Depot. It is mostly grain but had some pieces of dried Apple in it.
Another thing I found out is that if you find a Gopher hole and it is small it means the Gopher is a young one. I found they do not tunnel as deeply as the larger older ones do. Because the tunnels are not as deep that the old method of sticking a hose into the hole and filling the tunnels with water would bring them to the surface where I grabbed them with a barbecue tongs and put them in a plastic bucket and relocated them to an abandoned field far away.
Sadly I found out that if you put two Gopher in a bucket they fight. One Gopher broke the others rear ankle in the fight before I got them to the abandoned lot.
