I've dealt with and continue to deal with pocket gophers. I find that traps work the best. The County Parks & Rec Dept completely destroyed a large section of their underground irrigation system at the golf course by using one of those propane injection/explosion units.
They make ground hog traps just like the pocket gopher traps - only larger. Over an entire summer I will catch 30-35 pocket gophers and that does not include the ones my cat catches.
Propane and poisons have some serious drawbacks. A trap jammed a foot or so down the tunnel is a fairly safe bet.
