This is an excellent tool for preparing gopher tunnels for trap insertion and finding the main tunnel. I've used it successfully.
I've got 7.5 acres and plenty of moles to deal with. Made my first three sets the other night and had two dead moles in the morning. So, great!
Excellent tool, very well made. Wish I'd had this about twenty years ago. Very happy to have it now. Hats off to the guy that made this.
The instructional video was well done and very informative. I gained a lot of knowledge by watching this, and my percentage of success has increased dramatically. I have several different kinds of gopher traps, but now I’m exclusively using the gophernator.
Thank you for putting this together.
Unique and very useful tool. Wish I'd had this 25 years ago. Very well made.
First two days of getting them in caught 5 gopher's out of the six traps set now onto the neighbors yard be sure they are flat and have either the edge of the hole to but up against or make your own edge
The Content is good but lacks depth. I liked the cardboard trick but there is so much more to catching gophers. Placing a trap in a hole like you do never was consistent in catching gophers for me because of the different size pocket gophers from young to old. I do things nobody talks about which took time and effort. I have mastered both Gophers and Moles. When I see how you can catch
so many at a time I am amazed. You make it look so easy. Good for you. It was worth the $39.00 to hear what you had to say. Thank you for sharing.
Ordered 6 mole trap sets and on the first set these things produced results. I’ve set on both gopher and mole runs and I have to say they did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend. Would also like to thank you for the veterans discount.
I am an 80 year old female and I always get a gopher when I set these traps
Great quality product, exactly as described and prompt shipping
I caught 22 tunnel pigs with these things in the last couple weeks.
very nice to use and a Must to have...
Followed the Youtube instructions which explain how and why. Two days later checked and one dead mole! I'd chased that mole with other traps for over a month with no success. These are the best traps out there.
I tried other traps. Some I could barely get set, and none produced results. I also bought the gopher traps (same principle as mole traps, just larger) - 7 gophers out of 10 tries. Moles, so far, I have only gotten one. BUT I have not been diligent about ensuring that the mole runs were active, and it is the middle of winter... I know I had an active run once - because the moles filled the traps with dirt. It was probably because the mole runs are not as straight at the gopher runs (my guess), and I suspect the end of the trap poked into a curve in the tunnel. I have 3 sets of mole traps out today in verified active runs, and 2 gopher traps set. I'm finally getting my property to look like I am not raising gophers and moles for a living. I didn't want to try traps that you had to dig to set - but the other ones just don't work. These traps are awesome.
I’ve tried a lot of different traps and methods of getting rid of these gophers. The world’s best gopher traps work better than I thought. Just about guaranteed to get a gopher every time you put in the ground. Get Gophers got the traps shipped out quick and the price is just right. Thanks Get Gophers.
I have been using another popular gopher trap to try to deal with this menace on my property with very mixed results and I decided to look for another way. I ordered this kit and made my first “set”. After making it, I walked about 20 feet and turned around to make sure I didn’t leave anything behind and the flag was already quivering! This kit literally took out the biggest gopher I’ve ever seen in a matter of seconds and I can’t recommend it enough! As someone who has been in manufacturing all of my life, I will make a suggestion on how to improve the kit. Instead of including covers made out of corrugated cardboard, make them out of thin delrin sheet or some other inexpensive plastic composite. The cost increase should be minimal, and you will have even more happy customers now that their covers will pretty much last forever.
I was hesitant in spending the money on the video and I’m happy I did. It showed me some things I would have done wrong and my success has been about 70% with the traps. I think a lot of that was due to the video.
I’ve not had any luck with other trap styles. These traps worked the first day. The instructions in the video were very helpful. I feel like the gophers will have a tough time getting the best of me now.
Just received my six mole traps about a week and a half ago. Set all six and within three days I’ve got one mole so far. They work great , and are easy to set. I have used other traps over the years that worked OK. But I would highly recommend these.
Live on 2 acres and my father in law is across the street and he is in 33 acres. Bough a few other traps on the market. They worked ok but not consistent. Pulled the trigger on these and the first night (last night) I set 5 traps and caught 5 gophers by this morning, then set 18 traps. This evening I checked and a had another 10 gophers. For a total of 15 gophers today. There are still a few new mounts of dirt, so back at it tomorrow. Then I’ll tackle my father-in-law’s place. Once you figure out what and how to place them it’s rewarding when you catch these buggers. Picture had two missing gophers as the feral cats got to them before I took the picture.
