I tried smoke bombs and bait with no success, but wound up getting a GopherHawk which worked well. I got three gophers in two weeks and haven't seen one since. In the meantime, I set up a secure 20x20 foot garden area with gopher mesh and blocks around the perimeter and plan on using the gopher mesh in a greenhouse and another 400 square foot secure garden area. (BTW, the bait worked well with moles, but the gophers didn't fall for that trick.)
Here are some links to products to deal with those %$#@#%! gophers.
