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

It works. Tried different traps and poison before this one, no luck. Finally bought this one, first time I set it up, nothing, then I saw a video of a young kid explaining how to set the trap. I did exactly that, and man, it worked. Got two gophers in consecutive days. The youtube video title is "How To Use the Gopher Hawk Trap Successfully", I don't think I can put the link here, but go look for it, is 2 minutes. Since the trap has a VERY STRONG mechanism, I was concern my dogs will grab it, so I had to put a fence around it. If you have kids and/or pets that may mess with it, then is not for you. When this thing goes off, it hits hard. And there's no way to disarm it, I had to use a little stick or just throw it to the ground. It is dangerous for kids and pets, be aware. PROS It works if setup correctly. Very easy to setup (just pull until click and it's armed) Has a very very strong mechanism. CONS It doesn't come with a "disarm" button/trigger. Part of it stays outside, pets or kids can get it.

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.

Great product! It worked perfectly. Highly recommended.

I was sitting on the fence about buying one of these. I have used just about every available option for keeping gophers in check...bait, box traps, pedal traps...this one works! I was hesitant to buy one because I thought it might involve digging through hard soil to plant the trap. But then my neighbor called me and said I had a gopher digging in my yard by the curb, and asked my permission to trap him with his Gopherhawk. I told him to proceed, and because the gopher was actively digging, he simply stuck the Gopherhawk down the open tunnel and set it. The trap sprung in 9 minutes, possibly a record for trapping a gopher! Well, you can't ask for more of a testimonial than that, so I ordered one. I also ordered a heavy duty garden trowel with a sharp point (search for ASIN B0CRVQ21YC on Amazon). When I saw on my security camera a gopher digging in my yard the day before, I knew I had an active gopher present. I used a long-bladed screwdriver to find the tunnel about 12" away from the mound and, using the sharp point of the trowel, cut a triangular-shaped hole down to the tunnel. I put the Gopherhawk into the tunnel as far as I could, trying to keep the open part of the "cage" facing upward. The Gopherhawk was sitting in the tunnel at an angle by this time. I didn't think it would work that way, that the gopher would sense the end of the trap and avoid it...but 4 hours later, I noticed the trap had sprung. The gopher had climbed over the round end of the cage and hit the trip lever and was dispatched immediately! EZ-PZ, and releasing the gopher from the trap was easier than any other trap I have used. The key to success with this trap, or any other method of gopher removal, is making sure that the gopher is in the area. If you're not sure, open up the tunnel and see how long it takes for the gopher to plug the tunnel. Gophers cannot tolerate an open tunnel...the noise and the fresh air is intolerable to a gopher. Make sure there is a gopher still active in the area and you will have success, especially with an easy to use GopherHawk.

It's my second one and it works. Finding the correct tunnels is the hard part.
