Choker loop-style trap quickly and effectively eliminates gophers
Easy to use - set the trap with just one click!
Weather-resistant plastic and galvanized steel construction offers superior durability
Can be used in all soil types, including sandy soil
Moving parts are below ground away from children and pets
Gopher holes popping up is probably one of the last sights you want to see in your yard. With the Victor® the Black Box Gopher Trap, you can be prepared when the worst happens. The trap is constructed of weather-resistant plastic and galvanized steel to offer superior durability for use in the outdoors. 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.
Effective and Versatile
This convenient choker loop-style trap quickly and effectively kills nuisance gophers before they can continue wreaking havoc on your property. When properly placed in the runway, the trap will snare the unsuspecting gopher in the spring-triggered loop. To offer versatile placement, the Black Box can be used in all soil types, including sandy soil.
Easy to Set
For your convenience, the trap comes fully assembled and ready-to use and features an easy-set design that you can activate with just one click! Once the trap is in place near the gopher activity, simply press or step down on the set lever until you hear it click. The click indicates that the kill bar is now active.
Unique Design
To offer peace of mind, when installed properly inside a gopher tunnel, all the traps moving parts are located safely below ground away from children and pets. It’s a great alternative to convention wire claw and box traps, as well as chemicals and poisons.
How to Use
Remove and expose the active mound or tunnel. Peel back the lawn to preserve it for use after catching the gopher.
Remove just enough dirt to fit the trap. For best results, position two traps back to back.
Set the trap by using two thumbs or by stepping on the set lever until it clicks into place.
Place the traps in the tunnel. Trap opening must be level with the bottom of the tunnel.
Cover the trap with loose soil so it appears as if it is part of the runway.
After the trap has fired, remove the gopher if desired.

Worked like a champ on a squirrel that broke into my greenhouse.

I used this to eliminate a squirrel and it worked within minutes after bating it peanut butter and dried fruit. Up to this point I had tried everything to do a catch and release, but nothing worked because the squirrel was smarter than I. He even had the nerve to taunt me through the widow, called me stupid and inept. But i had the last laugh with the help of The Black Box.

Poor replacement for the 0625 trap
1
Mar 12, 2024
Had a couple 0625 traps that finally broke after years of dependable service. Wanted to replace them but all the hardware store had were these. Thought I'd give one a try but these are no where near as good of a trap as the 0625. Overall much more flimsy, with a fragile trigger mechanism. Please bring back the 0625.

Moles usually plug off the trap, trigger is too far back and you usually catch the mole just in from of the back legs which doesn’t kill them quickly. If you carry the trap unset the trigger mechanism falls out making the trap useless. Also can’t add a picture to the review because it says it’s too big to upload.
We are sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us. We are only ever looking to improve upon our traps, which is why your feedback is so critical. If the mole keeps filling up the hole, we recommend trying to relocate the trap.

I used to trap hundreds of moles per month with 5 of the old style traps but the new style is so unsuccessful that my hay fields are now overrun with mounds to the point it’s damaging the haying equipment. Running 10 new traps I sometimes catch one per day.

I would go negative if I could. The old 0625 trap was 10000000% better than this. The trap gets stuck or doesn’t work. Could you please bring back the old trap?

I have used these gopher traps in the past and been very successful with them. I needed more and found that the traps had a new design. Hesitantly I purchased 2 of them. The trigger seems to be too far back and needs to be pushed quite a bit more than what it should to trip the trap. DO NOT BUY THE 626 model. All you will catch is dirt that the gopher will push into the trap.

I had near 100% success rate with the old 625 trap. There is no way to "hair trigger" these and the gophers have to push the trigger nearly 1/2 inch to spring the trap I'm now only catching NEW gophers at 25%. Once they get wise (one miss), success is down to near zero percent. Please make the old traps available again... Please!
We are sorry to hear that you are not seeing the results expected from this trap. When tested, this trap was proven to still be effective at catching gophers. Please reach out to us directly for additional assistance.

This model simply does not work, too many moving parts to trigger it. Caught one gopher then afterwards was always plugged up with dirt. I put the 625 model in and catch right away. Go back to 625 model. I modified these to be like 625 and started catching again

Triger too difficult to trip. Gophers back fill with triping the triger.

I have owned many of the 0625 model traps and they were incredible - the new ones are junk. Why can’t you just admit the mistake and bring the old ones back- I would gladly pay a few dollars more.
Thank you for your feedback! We apologize you aren't seeing the same results with the current version and have shared your comments with the Product Manager. - Susan
