GopherHawk® Single Trap for Gophers and Moles, 1 GH-TRP

amazing, be patient, bury it lightly so the soil does not trigger or get caught in the trap. think of it as a chandelier in a tunnel. wonderful product. im catching so many moles that the cats are getting jealous in the neighbourhood

I've tried a number of box type traps and the GopherHawk has been the most consistent of all of them. Purchasing a second one because my back yard has got more gophers than one trap can handle. Instead of having to dig a large hole to situate the box at the opening where the gopher may or may not come back out of. With this trap you can insert it into the tunnel path itself so I feel creates a greater chance for the gopher to travel through vs an exit hole into the air. The trap is super easy to set and see when it has been triggered. The hole required to insert the trap into the ground is only around 1 1/2" in diameter (note when you catch the gopher you'll generally need to widen the hole to pull it out of the ground). I've been using my first trap for the past couple of years and it still operates perfectly and doesn't show any weathering from being out in sunny/foggy environment here on the pacific coast. Only thing I found is that it isn't as effective in very sandy soil as the unit requires stability to keep from leaning over. I typically will support the sides with rocks or other objects to keep it vertical and stable when being triggered.

Very good for small garden, when you have few 'visitors'. For large "invasions" taking ages to cleaning. Buying more - too expensive play. You must wait even 24 hours for results. But for prevention best "tool" I ever had.

I fought with pocket gopher holes for a year. I tried everything. Every morning there would be new mounds of dirt. My hopes were that the freezing weather of Alberta over the winter would rid my yard of these relentless beasts. As soon as the ground was thawed enough this spring, they started again. Other traps, gas bombs, spikes that vibrate and make noise...nothing worked on these dirt terminators for almost 12 months. I felt like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. When I closed my eyes at night I saw them in my dreams. Burrowing. Mocking me. Dynamite was my next option. I put the GopherHawk out on a Saturday afternoon at about 4:30pm. By early Sunday morning the spring had popped. After everything else I tried, this thing worked in a matter of hours. I was victorious. I had conquered nature. This is an 11 out of 10 product and works even better than advertised.

What an amazing invention! We've been using the Gopher Hawk for 5-6 years now and it's super durable. We've caught at least 8 gophers with this trap. We started with 1 trap and found we occasionally had to set it a 2nd or 3rd time to be successful. Not bad, but now that we have 2 traps, we're consistently successful on the first try every time. The traps are super easy to set, after you do it once or twice. Truly impossible to hurt yourself setting them up, which is so rare for these types of traps. As a moderately fit woman in my 50s, I can comfortably set these on my own. But I let my hubby do the cleanup. 🤣
