Gopher Purge sounds helpful, doesn't it. But based upon experience by my
neighbor and my grandfather-in-law who tried this euphorbia years ago, it
doesn't work. Even if it did, you'd have to plant the stuff over every
square foot of your yard to form a barrier.
I still say cats and king snakes are the best solution.
