Have you tryed the Carbon Monoxide method? look at " GAS A MOLE Redneck Mole Killer " and " Gopher Extermination With Carbon Monoxide" I have tryed it and it works. When the mounds re appear just use this method again . Its non messy and Humane . They go to sleep and no pain!
I had some kind of critter that made a hole in my front yard. What worked for me was pouring 2 quarts of urine down the hole and then filling it in. I don't know what happened but I haven't seen anymore holes.
Doug in Texas we leave the hole open because we find they come up to investigate when we leave sunlight able to come in. Gophers have horrible eyesight so they don’t see the trap anyway in our experience. Once in a while we will get a plugged hole still but it’s not a big problem.
The open hole is the bait, The natural instinct of the gopher is to plug the open hole, when they push dirt against the trigger they get caught, Important that you make a tight fitting set hole, the trap jaws should be right out in the dirt on the sides, The Burrow Buddy trapping tool was designed to make this tight fitting set hole
I never had Gophers when we had a Cat...The cat would get them and come back to the house and make a weird noise and I knew she had a Gopher..I live in the mountains in Sisters Oregon on 5.5 acres..We went through 10/12 Cats before we finally keep that one Around for about 10 years but she got Cancer and Died...The Coyotes got the most of them or Owls got a few...I always leave the hole Open....In the Last 3 years I've caught 68 Gophers...Yes I keep a chart on them...The month/time of Day....The Green Macabee Traps are the best...I have 6 in my bucket... Their the Green manual Traps...I don't use any Bait..Make the hole big enough so you can spin your hand around that way the Trap won't hit the top of the Tunnel...You don't have to Boil them...Sometimes I put 2 even 3 traps in 1 hole if they keep coming back and filling the hole with Dirt...I tie a string to the Trap because they'll push dirt up covering the opening and you'll think you must of got them and all you'll get is your hand..so move alitte dirt with a Spade then pull the Trap out with the String....The gophers won't run up and Bite you...I tried everything before I got the Green Macabre traps are the Best Manual Traps...Road flares .. poison...water by filling the hole..I took my tractor and put a hose from the exhaust into the hole .I even shot 3 with my Pallet gun(and that's hard)..The Green Macabee Traps are the best ... I've caught many in about 3/4/5 Minutes ..I set them walk away and come back and their still ALIVE..
this is sad we found one in our yard we really thought was a hamster 🐹 we looked it up said was a pocket gopher and I am not into killing animals so we just relocated it because I have small children and I didn’t want it to bite everything online says to kill them
Your first mistake......never probe or stand on or near a mound you plan to trap !!! This will encourage a gopher to plug the hole before the trap ! Second mistake....never open the tunnel as you did. If you are careful you can open the " main " single entry and only have one hole to deal with...and one trap to set. If you have two hole..abandon it until new digging occurs. Try again later. Ive been trapping gophers for 45 years.....use numerous traps...The Lanesboro GT 100 trap revolutionized my trapping ! If set correctly 99.9 success rate ! Out of the 300 gophers I trapped last year....I missed one. Water from a rain storm flushed the hole full of dirt. Gophers can and will become very trap smart ....almost impossible to get a second chance !
@@fishsickoutdoors8450 Thanks.....its easy to find the main opening to the hole... the gopher fans the dirt out from the main hole...like a half moon. If its a fresh mound you can see it clearly. Lightly dig .....with a garden shovel..... the remaining you can dig out with your finger tips. Remove the extra dirt......insert trap.
I have had luck with traps and used a crossbow on one a pellet gun on another and used the lawn mower exhaust a few times. I have been hearing allot of people saying putting bubble gum sticks in the tunnel kills them as odd as that sounds.
Hmm I'm going to need some stakes
BACKHOES ! Will work as well !
I STILL PREFER THE GOPHERHAWK, TOOK ME 2 HRS AFTER SETTING IT TO CATCH MY GOPHER, YELLOW INDICATOR ON TOP TELLS ME IT'S LIT

I have used CAR FLARES ,they work like a charm !

No they dont

You must have pissed off the critter.
@@rcnelson lmao
Did anyone see the deer or dog behind him?
This is a misleading video. There was nothing in the video that showed a single gopher was caught in the trap. We wnt to see results!
Jovie Aclaro we have a video on the channel of us checking the traps so you can see it works
Do you not replace the dirt? In my experience when I've left the tunnel exposed, the gopher just plugs the tunnel in front of the trap.

I always use roofing shakes with a brick to cover my hole.

Waste o time... Get a gopherhawk less work & works 99.99% the time.
Can you make a video on how to trap a Coyote
Amazon , buy the gopher hawk trap , money well spent and it will get your gopher problem solved
Ray Pittman thanks for watching
You ain't kidding. The hawk 3 piece set is only around 30 bucks. Very good easy setup.
@@derekkrause9251 unless the ring at the jaws snaps the first time you use it. Then it’s $30 down the drain.
no bait?
Wtf..you will never catch gopher if you apply this fucking method

I catch and kill all the ones I can.... my 5 year old daughter puts carrots out to try and feed them 🤦🏽♂️

Irv Farmer thanks for sharing your experiences. We don’t seem to get many plugged holes but will keep your tips in mind
