I've been a renter in LA for 17 years, no gophers on the property till 3 years ago when road construction drove them 200' under asphalt and concrete foundations to the new landscape I'd installed for landlady. The only plants they have not killed must be toxic, Clivia bloom beautifully in shade but the mounds around them show activity and I use sulfur bombs.

Another great plant is Arbutus compacta, and a native Rhamnus 'leather leaf '. Also a nice specimen of Manzanita Dr Hurd, they won't be eating the beautiful Sago, it being poisonous along with the calla lilies in the shade. Looks like I'll have a beautiful toxic garden.
