Feed them Juicyfruit gum. Handle the gum with gloves only so your scent doesn't get on it. Twist the gum, foil and all, and insert it into a fresh mound or a hole you have opened. The gopher will eat it and die in its burrow. Experts scoff at this, perhaps because they get their scent on the gum before they try it. Homeowners swear by it.
