Already got two gophers with it and counting, I put a little peanut or almond butter on the bait area and pulls them right in, kills them instantly, if you have one then you probably have a whole family of gophers per borrow, so stay patient, it takes time to get them all without poison.

I was able to kill 3 gophers in 3 days. I would probably kill more than that, but the gophers stopped coming to my garden. They fear this trap. I set it according to the instructions plus I baited it with an onion. Got them every time!

I have been using USA made cinch traps for years. The BEST way to trap gophers. Easy, quick and efficient.

I completely agree with Tim's review. These are the best gopher traps, and the only ones with which I have successfully trapped gophers. And they work within a day, and sometimes much quicker. Just make sure when you set the trap that the small eyelet wires will be free to rotate when the trap is sprung. Otherwise the trap won't spring all the way and the gopher will still be free. But in this case you simply open up the gopher's hole again and reset the trap. Easy!

These traps are really the only effective way to catch gophers. I bought two, and have trapped 8 gophers since fall. I would trap more, but there are none. As soon as you see a fresh open hole, widen it a bit and slide the trap in, but not too far. Leave the hole open and go away. It will do its thing. The only thing to make sure of is when you set the trap, turn the bent over eyes on the trigger wires up so they don't bind up. Otherwise the gopher may push dirt in and set off the trigger, but the trap won't release. Also set it with a hair trigger. Just enough to hold the wires down. I give them 5 stars. The only thing better is a gopher catching cat. And they don't always catch the ones you want. :)
