Just leave poison out of it. When I was a kid, a dog of mine was poisoned by strychnine by a neighbour trying to kill gophers. It's not a pretty sight. It's a random killer and it flows through the food chain.
I've used this kind of trap to kill Richardson ground squirrels. There's variations but basically open on two sides and placed over the hole so there is no other exit except through the trap. For a single gopher in an urban setting, you probably wouldn't need anything else.
