Well, you may just have succeeded. However, I don't think
gophers are native to Europe, in which case the question
doesn't count. :-)

However, there is this one on period pest control. You did
say in the garden, though and not in the house.

The other solution might be to set your trained ferrets on
it:

If they can retrieve a rabbit from it's warren, maybe they could
have been used against a gopher the same way.

Now about those files on gardens, so that you can have a
garden for those gophers to invade....
