Castor oil is the main ingredient of a number of mole repellents. It
appeared to work on our sidewalk. Moles used to cause the brick
pavers to heave up about twice a week. Before laying new pavers I
scooped a trench the entire length of the walk in the sand, and poured
a gallon of castor oil into the trench. Not a single paver disturbed
since about 2002...

$14 a gallon, they also sell the 5-gal pail for $67. I don't think it
works on gophers but here's a possible solution, dunno how well it
will work...
