The Gopher Goner Trap

Mission

For Those Who Feel that Any Harm to Animals is Inhumane

Everyone who works for Gopher Goner Products™ shares a love for animals, nature and the outdoors. We are amazed to watch gopher and mole behavior and how those burrowing rodents can move dirt. However, if garden gophers or lawn moles are causing destruction, and we do mean DESTRUCTION, that is when we have a problem with them. We tried many different types of abatement techniques and trapping equipment. Using our Gopher Goner™ trap is effective and humane. If there is any way to remove these animals from our yard and garden without harm, we will do so. We have a local trapping business and deliver uninjured gophers to local Bird Clubs. You will find us listed on the Hungry Owl Project. Until science discovers a way to alter the reproductive cycles of gopher and moles, we will take matters into our own hands using a humane tool that works for us: The Gopher Goner™ trap

Operation

The Gopher Goner™ trap does not use bait. Our trap operates on light and air drafts creating havoc with the gopher or mole. Opening the tunnel with the special Gopher Goner™ Digging Tool, allows fresh air to enter the tunneling system and also lets the scent of the gopher or mole out. The gopher or mole senses a draft and detects light. Gophers and moles are meticulous about keeping their tunnels clean and sealed. Upon entering the tunnel where the trap is placed, the gopher or mole will feel the trigger blocking its tunnel. When the gopher or mole attempts to push the trigger out of the way, the trap will then activate and the jaws will close on the gopher or mole. If the gopher or mole circumvents the open jaws and springs the trap, the tines will stab the culprit, and since gophers and moles are hemophiliacs, if the gopher or mole will bleed out in the tunnel system. Check the tines for fur even if the gopher or mole sprung the trap and got away.

Comments

In our opinion, the GopherGoner™ trap is the most effective and easy to use trap on the market. If the tunnel is prepared properly, gophers and moles will push on the trigger and not dig around it or plug is with dirt. It is perfect for the homeowner, vineyard, golf courses, farmers, or anyone who has gophers and moles destroying their investment.
