Gophinator Gopher Trap

Tried two other similar style traps, the Gophinator being between the two in size which was almost perfect for the gopher's tunnel size. I bought another dozen and got 7 gophers out of the 13 traps set in one day. Definitely a good idea to attach a wire or string to stake in the ground, a few times I had to dig down the tunnel for the trap. I used thin rope tied to orange field flags so I could easily find them in the pasture. Easy to wash if needed, metal stays smooth even after being buried in the dirt.

My college professor loaned me a pair of these a year ago. Didn't help then but this year the damage these gophers did was much worse. Once I figured that winding the springs around twice was more ideal, I had immediate impact- took out two in one day. Yard is finally gopher-free for the first time in 15 months! \n\nFeedback- Wind that spring around twice to maximize effectiveness. Perhaps putting written instructions in the box would have been helpful to anyone that's never used these? That's why y'all didn't get five stars.

I have used Gophinator Gopher Traps for nearly 15 years. On my 6 acre property in North Texas, I average 75-100 gophers per year. \nEasy to use, most of my Business Clients were taught to handle their own gopher control quickly using Gophinator Traps. I keep some in inventory at all times. They last a long time especially if you rig them with 15 inches of 1/16 braided cable with crimped loops on both ends to prevent trap loss. I highly recommend these traps and also the mole version. Both are great tools.

I try other brands and always come back to these. USA made, quality, easiest trap to be successful.

After using cinch traps all my life, I got pretty comfortable with them. A neighbor had me do some trapping for him and he had this style of traps. They are easy to set (my 8 year old traps himself and can set them), they are small and compact to carry on the 4-wheeler and they work very well. I couldn't go back to cinch traps and had to get some for myself. The only downfall is I have to make my own wire loops at the top of the trap because they aren't long or big enough to put a sturdy stake through the hole on the trap itself. We realized true adulting is when you're excited to buy yourself these nice gopher traps!

These traps are Great!

Really impressed with the quality of these traps they should work great.

These traps work very well. Easy to use and extremely effective.

I've tried several traps with limited success, until a neighbor got me onto these. \nThe trick is to buy 2, and hook them together on a 3 foot cable or chain. Dig until you find the tunnel spilt, and set one in each tunnel. I've got a 95%+ catch rate with these. \nThey don't rust and they're easy to set.

This is a great trap!
