The gophers are wildlife too ... so no to that idea!
And too, it's not just the wildlife that could be affected .... it could be you too!
Any drugs flushed, dumped or planted, could eventually make their way back into your water supply.
So yes, look to your local pharmacy as your place of return ... or any other local initiatives that may be available to you.
