When you see gopher holes popping up in your yard, you'll want to have one of these on hand. The Victor® Gopher Trap effectively kills gophers without the use of chemicals or poisons. The trap features a powder coated exterior for rust resistance and galvanized steel construction for superior strength and durability. The trap’s narrow design allows for easy insertion into gopher tunnels and keeps moving parts completely below the surface, safely away from children and pets.
Additionally, each trap is equipped with an “O” ring to stake the trap easily into the ground and prevent run offs. Traps come fully assembled and with illustrated operating instructions on setting and placement. As the most reliable gopher trap on the market, you can rest assured that your yard is safe from the damaging effects of gophers.
Gopher trapping can be done at any time of year, but generally is easiest and most effective during Spring & Fall. Once gopher activity is detected it is important to move quickly as pregnant females can be caught before giving birth to her family. Traps are most effective when placed in the gopher tunnel and with 2 traps back to back. The hole should be covered up with dirt so that it appears as if the trap is part of the runway.
When used correctly, traps produce a catch within 48 hours. It is best to move the trap to another location in the runway if you do not catch a gopher in this timeframe.

We have used these traps for several years. I have got them from antique stores at first, then found this web site. These are the only way to go. Directions to set them come with it and are simple to set. This is the best Gopher trap!!!!!

The previous post was made in November 2010. I followed the suggested link on how to set the trap. The illustrations are illegible. I cannot follow the instructions without drawings. How about posting a simple youtube video on how to set the model 615 trap for those of us that learn by looking?

Gophers excavate soil from their tunnels, creating large, horseshoe-shaped mounds. Gopher mounds are typically larger than Mole hills with the entrance hole at an angle to the ground surface.
