The first one of these I purchased became the first of 4 trap types I've tried to catch a California gopher .. caught 4 of them over 4 days actually. One was so huge (more like a giant rat) no other trap I've had could have caught him. So I bought some more .. and they have met more gophers. That said, gophers are smart. they did eventually figure it out and started pushing dirt from further back to clog even this one. Sooo .. I set up another type I had with pincers and pushed it into the hole, and still put this one over the tunnel mouth .. bingo, if they saw this one they missed the pincers .. have notched a few more gophers with the combo .. to which I'll still attribute the success to this one. How many gophers can one yard have? Remember the Caddy Shack .. go get em.
