The answer? Sand.

This question has been asked numerous times at Orchard Supply Hardware and one of the employees has been sharing this ingenious answer for years.

Fill the holes with sand. They'll leave.

They are inexplicably displeased with this (perhaps because it cannot be effectively dug; keeps caving in) and will go to find a new home.

If they're the same as woodchucks & you don't mind taking a few animal lives,
There is a product called "Revenge"
It is gas bomb you light & throw down the hole.
I bought it because I liked the name.
I also get rid of old cinderblocks by throwing chunks down the hole.
Don't worry thy will be back.

Buy a bag of Mahatma Rice (no Minute Rice)- pour it down in every hole that you find cover them up with sand. Gophers will then eat the rice, since it is so dry they go and drink water, rice expands and so do they. Sorry, bye-bye gopher.

I was just discussing this w/ someone. He said he talked to some farmers and they use bazooka bubble gum, just open the wrapper and pop it down the holes, apparently when they chew it the gum expands in their throats and suffocates them (they have narrow throats). According to him he tried it and it worked, he is now gopher free.
