I tried everything from Critter repellant, to Gopher poison to using a trap.. (they got smart, they don't fall for trap anymore). I even used smoke bomb to smoke them out, but since it is underneath my deck, smoke just dissipates.. Anybody with suggestions??

Ever tried snaring them? I've done this before in the prairies of ND so this is no joke. Take a rope a make a loose knotted noose w/ about 15' of slack. Chase the gopher into the hole and place the snare over the hole. Squat on your knees. Wait patiently for the gopher to start to poke it's head out. Then when you see him, squat down further... do this until he comes out far enough that you can catch him in the snare. SNARE & WHACK (sounds bad but it's what you gotta do)
Hope it works for you! It has for me!!

I was raised on a farm and we had a dog that dug them up. When I went to a relative's house, we didn't have that dog so I was the one who had to get rid of them because I was not squeemish. When you see the ground moving, you just have to stab it with a pitchfork or a shovel. It may sound cuel but it's a gopher.

Stick a water hose down one of the holes and turn on the water. At the other hole, wait with a shovel in your hand.....
