Know before you buy
No, this trap does not require bait. It is designed to be placed directly in the active tunnel or mound where the gopher or mole will trigger the mechanism while moving through its path.
Because the trap is designed to be set inside underground tunnels, it is generally inaccessible to pets and children. However, you should always exercise caution when handling and setting the trap, as it is a powerful snap-style device.
For the best results, look for fresh mounds or active tunnels. You should probe the ground near the mound to locate the main tunnel run and place the trap directly inside that path to ensure the pest encounters it.
Yes, the high-quality steel is built for durability and repeated outdoor use. While it is designed to withstand the elements, cleaning the trap after each use will help maintain its performance and longevity.
The number of traps depends on the size of your property and the severity of the infestation. Many gardeners find that using multiple traps in different active tunnel locations significantly increases the speed and effectiveness of their pest control efforts.
