Now he is working on our australian bottle tree, a beautiful tree it was, now it is very stressed 
Have tried trapping, putting bubblegum down the holes, even poured a bottle of ammonia and then bleach, thought I got him, but he popped up after a few days. Sounds cruel, I don't like killing anything, but he is destroying all the plants > My neighbor said that he and a friend of his, when living in Montana, tried to get rid of a gopher by putting propane down the hole and lighting a match 
"Caddy Shack" I guess was more true to life then I realized Anyway, this is a serious question, if any of you have any ideas, or have had the problem yourselves and know the answer

| .....it's those 48 billion dingos above ground that are a pain in the ass... |
They're still no match for the rabbits - dopey white man for introducing them! Now they're a real pest in much the same way as I imagine gophers must be!

Um.....the Aussie Inland Taipan is the deadliest snake on the planet...a single venom yield [milk] will get you on average 46 mls of venom....enough to make 4600 kilos of humans into ex-parrots.
That would add up to a fair sprinkling of dead gophers....
Bigger 'pest' issue in Oz is the one or two foxes currently in Tassie.....people are praying they do not/have not bred.

Neither foxes nor rabbits are native....they're vermin.
