Know before you buy
You should locate a fresh gopher mound or an active tunnel run. Once identified, clear away the loose soil to expose the tunnel opening so the trap can be inserted directly into the path.
No, the Cinch Gopher Trap does not require bait. It is designed to be placed directly in the tunnel, relying on the gopher's natural instinct to clear obstructions in their path to trigger the mechanism.
Because the trap is designed to be placed entirely inside the underground tunnel, it is generally inaccessible to pets and children. However, you should always exercise caution when handling the trap and ensure it is properly buried according to the instructions.
The trap is designed with a simple visual indicator that shows whether the mechanism has been triggered. You can quickly check the trap without needing to dig it up completely.
This trap is specifically engineered for the tunnel size and behavior of gophers. While it may work in similar tunnel systems, it is optimized for gopher control and may not be as effective for other types of rodents.
