I never comment on anything, BUT. Thank you!!!!! I’ve been dealing with this gopher for weeks!! Set different traps. Saw your video. Went to the hardware store, got the gopher hawk trap, set it up and BOOM. Overnight i got it!!! I feel so accomplished.Thank you!!! Amazing trap!
Great product just snagged my 287 mole in granite falls , Wa in 2 years !!!
I had a gopher service come out to get rid of my gopher problem. The technician used these same traps and caught one; however, he set 5 traps in all but only one worked on getting a gopher. Then the technician came back in a week and gassed the holes. I'm buying a couple of these traps to set them myself instead of paying a service as I have seen more evidence of gopher activity. I just want to thank you for the informative instructions on how to properly set these traps. Thanks - much appreciated!!!!
You sold me, just bought 2 of these to start out. I am stoked! Thanks for the video.
Poppa Dare: Gopher Hawks seem to have a short effective span, at least here in High Desert hard-packed soil. Realized some kills early on; no more than three. Then, nothing. Zero. Zed. Nadda. Three years now. Moved on to Swiss and Austrian made traps with far better results.
Have you used anything from swissino? That’s one I’m looking at
I’m in Texas and every yard is different
Watched your video, set the trap, and 16 hours later got that little demon!!! Thanks for helping me save my garden Dad Dare!
It works every time, I have had two gophers in the back yard about six months apart and I caught them in 24 hrs.
Dude! Best video yet on Gopherhawk. I just got one and have been "trying" to set it based on pkg instructions 👎 & other worthless videos. I cant get it to stay upright. I had no idea how to trip it in order to try another area so i was throwing it onto the ground. Well, guess what? The metal cage is now all bent up & useless. After watching your awesome video I will order a new basket & try again. My tunnels are very shallow so i will use your tip to pack dirt around it. Wish me luck!!
Excellent job; God bless you and your growing family; buying one of these today,.
Love the Gopherhawk. It saved our property!
I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a Dad Dare video in a while. Glad we're on the same page.
Your excitement for mole catching is pretty impressive and funny. Would agree there a definite satisfaction for getting rid of a pest problem.
Congrats on the soon to be baby boy! Very exciting.
I live in dry country with hard ground and the wedge doesn't work. I broke it right away, so I ordered a bulb auger and use on my cordless drill and it works great. I find the tunnel with the probe, auger in, and set the trap.
I bought a gopher hawk trap 2 years ago and they're the greatest trap ever
Once Yu use the prober and dog the hole the dirt get compacted and it covers the underground tunnel so no luck on setting the trap.
Just got (2) Gopherhawk traps. Darn moles are in my brand new lawn.
I just bought one. How has your Gooherhawk worked? I’m skeptical, but willing to try anything.
I think the biggest part is knowing where to place the trap. Great explanation! I'm fighting the fight this year... thanks for some useful ammunition!
Thank You, I needed a refresher course and this video did it !
I just had a pest control company here at my house and he explained to me that moles eat grubs etc. and their tunnels are deeper in the ground. But Voles eat the base of plant roots and their tunnels are not deep- they are just beneath the surface. Maybe you have voles instead of moles? Recently I started spraying my yard with 30% vinegar and they've been leaving in droves! They don't like the scent of vinegar at all. They also hate the scent of mint so I'm going to try the Irish Spring soap hack and see if that helps.
This is a good product that works as advertised. Good video.
I ordered 3 of them, and I'm glad I came across video thanks
I just saw your video and ordered 2 traps. I tried one of the scissor style trap but you have to know which direction the tunnel is going. That didn't work and my ground is so hard. I sent it back. Then i ordered 2 other traps. One of them looks like it is also a directional trap. I think ill have to send it back. I haven't tried them yet but watching your video, it realy looks like fewer variables. Thanks for the video. Hope fatherhood is treating you well.
Love seeing the yellow popped up when I walk outside! A favorite part of my day! ...hate those gophers
The out of sight trap is a really old designs that’s worked over a 100 years. They are fantastic traps. Much better at shallow tunnels then using a gopher hawk. I have the gopher hawk and like it a lot but it’s more for deep tunnels.
The out of sight traps are nice put the problem I had with them is that if the marking tape came off of them they would basically destroy a lawn mower blade
@@metal422life I've always covered them with an overturned bucket. It helps keep pets away, helps keep rain and sprinkler water out (I find that moles tend to tunnel around or beneath the heavy wet dirt when they can), and will act as a visual reminder while mowing.
I live in WA as well. Nice video. Hope to get them using these. Nothing else has worked.
Cool. I like to see the traping moment because these rodents caused so much damages in my lawn and vegetable garden. I will get this kind of traps.
Great video. I’m ordering a few Gopher Hawks now.
Congrats on the newborn!
How do you get the probing tool to
Make a good hole for the hawk to go in ?
Is it placed in mounds or in between them? Also, is it easy to drive the gopher hawks in semi tough dirt?
Nice catch. Rodents don't belong around our homes. They just tear up the lawn and make it look ugly. I've caught gophers using the metal traps. But that one looks like a better success rate.keep catching them and rid of them. Lawn looks nicer

Great video. Thanks for the info needed.
Great information.
I’ve caught several with this.
Awesome video :) Thank you for going into such great detail, I've ordered one and now feel like I have a much better chance at success from watching this. Question: Did I see that you put the dead mole back into the ground to ward off other moles? Thanks!
Very cool. I might need some of those! Cool caps!! :) oh and congrats!
It's my understanding that if one wears gloves to keep your human scent away, it tends to be more successful.
For some rason, I am thinking of "Mole-Kabobs!"
Moles don't eat plant roots. They eat earthworms and grubs.
Do these work on ground squirrels?
Bought but didn't work on shallow runs that are only an inch below the dirt. The device is too long and has no support to stay upright. I do like the indicator that identifies when tripped and is well made if dealing with deeper gophers. It did trip once but from dirt being pushed into it. The 3 wires also make it not align with the run. I will have to go back to Trapline traps :(
I had to put some bricks on mine to hold it steady for the shallow runs. I put a total of 4 bricks crisscrossed. I was also concerned with the 3 wires not aligning with the run, but managed to put it pretty straight.
Wow! That thing is great Cody! And yeah, Made in America is a great thing!!!! Oh, and you’re such a goofball ya know. 😉😂
I bought 2 of this traps end work beary good avery time I weist lots of mony on smokes nothing work the same is the this trap I used chise on it
I think my trigger is too short on the 2 I have. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but haven't caught one yet. Could literally see the trap moving while a mole was messing with it one day on my ring cam. 😢
I have had no luck using this tool. I move it once a day when new holes appear. They continue appearing. What am i doing wrong??
i love mine i caught 4 Gophers the first day i got mine
i might wach you often now
So I have 10 gopher hawks and the gophers are pushing dirt into my basket.
California dirt is hard, I’ve been studying their tunnel system but not having any luck. I started running water in the hole got one with my boot. Any advice? Thanks
Same problem with our gopher hawk with no luck. I think the tunnels are so wide they just go around the trap.
Try using like a 3ft piece of 1" or 1-1/4" EMT Conduit or even like an aluminum shower curtain rod if that's easier to find, either way you should try using a thin-walled piece of ridgid pipe or conduit to take a plug out of the ground that the Gopherhawk trap can slide into. Instead of compacting the dirt surrounding the cage you're removing it so it doesn't just get pushed back in and trigger the trap when the gopher or mole uses the tunnel again. You still need to use the probing tool to find the tunnel, just not the wedge.
Please help me.. I have moles. I bought a kit.
I have a very small yard. I've been trying for months. Nothing. Any advice?
If you are looking to purchase these ... two pack are about two months out.
I caught one mole with these but have remaining moles that have figured out how to avoid them. Argh
have not had any sucess with it yet
How does the gopherhawk compare with macabee-style traps? These 2 seem to be the top most recommended traps, but not sure what is the most effective or the pros/cons.
I bought this and have had ZERO success....... set them in the tunnel but most of the tunnels are shallow and they just go around the trap
Although I do really well catching moles with the GopherHawk, I've done well catching moles in the shallow runs with the traps from Trapline products.
I’ve had the same experience I have yet to catch a mole with the gopher hawk
Don’t see what I’m doing wrong
I've got 11 notches on my Gopher Hawk- all moles! First set only took 20mins to snag it and I was in love 😍 If the run you're using is too shallow place a brick(or small block of wood) on each side to help support the trap.
@@Hodadoget a mole hawk
Set the trap, hear the snap.
You just to said to set traps one at a time but I see you planting six, huh?
PS. You’re more likely to finish this video & catch yourself a mole before he gets to the point.
Why must I watch this before purchasing?
People need to know that this is not suitable for moles because mole tunnels are very shallow and this device will not stay up unless you make a tripod to hold it upright. That is why they call it a gopher hawk and not mole hawk.
Sold
MY 1ST DAY WITH THE HAWK, FOUND THE HOLE , SET THE TRAP, WENT TO THE GYM, GOT BACK AND THE MOLE MADE A BIGGER HOLE AND A SMALL HOLE NEXT TO THE HAWK, I'M LIKE WTF
Are they moles or gohpers? The mounds look like gopher mounds.
Look at 9:20 and you tell me which it is.
@@IowaKim sure us a mole
So quick question? Do you wash the Gopher Hawks after they have been used? After using them for a couple years did you notice a decline in catches not just because less moles but just couldn't catch him ? Does the dead mole smell make moles avvoid the trap? Mine worked great f9r the first year. I bought 1 it worked in 10mins so i ordered 10 more and now i have about 30 but they seem to be elusive even though that there are fresh Mounds all over the place and 12 traps set. I was curious if you have noticed a similar type of thing?
Have the baskets gotten somewhat deformed or out of shape from use? That's probably the reason you're having problems. Try reshaping them to their original state and if that's easier said than done Gopher Hawk sells replacement baskets as well.
@@KB-ie7jr the baskets are still in Primo condition there's no deformation on them. The catching basket still looks nearly identical to a brand new one I'm starting to theorize that it's possible that they smell dead mole and it scares them away
@@metal422life It's possible but just hard for me to accept as the main reason here. Moles do have a keen sense of smell but odors diffuse into dirt very well so moles rely mainly on their sense of touch. Just slight contact with any part of the basket in their tunnel will deter them and you have to remember they are as wide as their tunnel so proper positioning of the trap is crucial. That's why I first assumed basket but even the tunnel you choose for your trap is important plus a whole lot more than what I assume most people have the patience for in a UA-cam comment.
@@KB-ie7jr well my method that I use is slightly different from what the instruction manual says for them. mostly because I've had great luck doing it my way. but it worked for the most part pretty dang well but then it seems like they're getting wise just because so many of them have been killed I'm using the trap. but my method is I see the mole hill and I dig down with my hands and I try to find an mound where it will have three holes down in the mound so a tunnel that does a y, then I put the trap into the hole I bury the tube and then set the trap. sometimes I set the trap then bury it in the hole.
@@metal422life Something to always keep front of mind is that moles can be elusive little turds and to be successful in catching them you have learn from when you don't. Determine what was different from the last time you caught one that might have led to comming up short this time -without blaming the trap or the mole. Was it the placement in the tunnel, wrong type of tunnel, or maybe just lacking patience? Was the trap tripped? Did you notice any new activity near the trap? Doing this will help hone your technique.
A couple suggestions: step down the newer activity and pay attention to which ones come back. These will be the active tunnels you want to set the traps in. Avoid setting traps at the mole hills. I know you've previously been successfull here but these are usually the spots where tunnels bifurcate, get sealed off, and the mole continues on. And if you need to dig for trap placement, either wear gloves or use a garden trowel, don't use your bare hands. That the moles can definitely smell.
Pretty expensive mole kit there. $40.00 for initial set and $30.00 per additional 4 traps for a total of 5 traps. He has about $200.00 in equipment.
Not cheap...but you could also go buy a carbon monoxide fumigation machine and pay $1,800 - $2,400 dollars to eradicate a large number of burrowing pests (maybe). At least this set up, or other traps, give confirmation of effectiveness.
I got this because the regular traps from HD or Lowe’s get lost! The gophers are moving them. Wtf
You've got to put a wire/string to a stake on those. Otherwise a caught animal might drag it down the tunnel.
No they don't eat plants but, they leave my yard in a mess and uneven and as soon as I can find the place to buy one, I 'll be killing moles too. Have a nice day!.
Wow, they won't be able you live there anymore because this lawn will be too ugly 😂
Moles don't chew on plants. Moles eat earthworms and slugs, not plants.
I have 4,thay all broke
Moles don't eat plants
Fact. Although carnivorous, they can be really destructive to a lawn or garden.
To any women watching this-this trap is easy for you to set, unlike a lot of traps.
I need help
no o e shows how to get them off. I am not liking that part and hope no touching!!??
Dam, get to the point!
Want to make a mole beautiful? (catch it in a trap!)
What is your ethnicity?
I bought a GH, no luck yet. Your vid sounds like a paid political advertisement. BTW, GHs if/when they work are not a "humane" way of dealing with them, though I have no problem killing the little bastards in a non-humane way. I'm trying smoke bombs now, may put out the GH later if no luck with smoke.
Good luck with your efforts.
