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.

Strychnine is restricted anyways, if somebody has some, they are hoarding it.
That trap looks like a good solution. It is basically a big mouse trap. Saves you from having to savagely kill them after you catch them.
