GONZO5001 Dead-End Mole & Gopher Trap

Can't believe after all the money spent on gogher/mole products nothing worked. I have 8 of those ground buzzers in a 10' square garden. One on each corner and side. Didn't work. I then tried expensive smoke bombs. Let off about 40 of those. Didn't work. I then tried poisoned food bait. Didn't work. I put rubber gloves on before I opened trap, then put peanut butter in the back hole, on wall. I dug out the mound enough to fit in ground like picture shown. Covered surrounded the edges with dirt and also(not mentioned anywhere in directions) covered back hole cause it does say block out all light. So I believe the hole is to apply peanut butter. That's in directions. Overnight, first night, HE DEAD💪😁😁😁. It is such a relief knowing I got em. Excellent product. I recommend it

It works. We saw a tiny gopher in one of the tunnel's openings, our dogs being really curious about that. So I installed the trap, we waited about 3 days, at first we completely though this tunnel is not active anymore, and we never see the gopher there, but nope, later on, the gopher got in the trap. So it works and .. surprisingly no snack required to attract the wild animal, purely plastic and metal only trap. To keep dogs away from the metal springs, just in case, I placed on top transparent plastic container, semi transparent bucket might work too.

Waste of money. The hook that holds the spring down slides into a hole in another piece that trips it, but the hook slides out as soon as you try to let go of it. Couldn't get the trap set.UPDATE: I used a pair of pliers to close the hook a little so it sits flat and not angled so it would catch and not slide off. I set the trap and 24 hours later found a gopher in it. Last year I caught 2 moles with a scissors trap. During the past several weeks something was tunneling through my yard and going around the scissors trap. I wasn't expecting it to be a gopher.

I’m not sure why people are leaving negative reviews. They must not know how to use this trap. It is the easiest trap I’ve ever used and I have caught a gopher every time I set it. I almost didn’t buy this because of the negative reviews. I have tried every method other than poison, to no avail. I have used this trap for 9 days and caught 21 gophers on my property. If you follow the directions (which are straightforward and simple) you will catch a gopher every time. Best trap I’ve ever used. Some people want to hate on a product when in the end it is user error, in my opinion.

I out my hand in the photo for reference. These were just delivered. I feel like it may be falsely advertised. I can’t decide whether to try it at all or just return it while I can. This home is less than 3 inches across and less than 2 inches tall. How in the heck will an adult groundhog get its head in that hole? Very disappointed at the unboxing. At this point I am feeling I wasted my money.

I mean, They work about 20 to 30% of the time?

5/5 this is the best method I have tried for catching moles / gophers! Just make sure you set the trap up correctly and it has worked every time for me!! 10/10! (When setting the trap the metal wire inside the hole needs to touch the bottom so it can catch the gopher) see image! Once I found this out, it was a 100% success rate! Caught 6 gophers so far!I can only think the negative reviews do not know how to set the trap properly cause this has worked like a charm!

Good reliable traps. I definitely use a combination to get the gophers around here. I may use these traps or the gas pills or I might even blow them up with propane oxygen mixture. But if they get out of control, I definitely go to the pills. If I actually want to see a go for dead, I’ll use one of these traps.
