A
The Gophinator Gopher Trap can work immediately after proper placement. In active tunnels, many users catch a gopher within a few hours to 24 hours. Most successful captures occur within 1–3 days, depending on gopher activity, tunnel selection, and correct trap setup. The Gophinator is a mechanical kill trap, not a bait or poison. It relies on the gopher’s natural behavior of traveling through main tunnels. When the gopher encounters the trap, it triggers a fast, lethal strike, resulting in instant control. Because there is no feeding delay or toxic action, results are often faster than bait-based gopher control methods when placed correctly. For best results, set The Gophinator in fresh, straight main tunnels, ensure proper tension and alignment, and check traps daily. If no activity is seen after 48–72 hours, relocate the trap to another active run.

Best trap ever invented

These traps are the best. They are immediate death. Other traps I’ve tried didn’t always kill the Gopher and then I would have to “take care” of them😒 I pretty much get a gopher every time I set one. You need these traps.

We tried several different kinds of traps and dug countless holes and caught a gopher with this one on the first try.

We have gotten three gophers in three days with these traps. We’ve tried several control measures and this is the first one that worked!
