Does this stuff work on gophers and/or shrews?

I've had no experience with either. I don't think shrews make long underground tunnels and thus these probably wouldn't do the job - just a guess. I think gophers are vegetarians and are much bigger than moles, so again I'm guessing these wouldn't work because they probably wouldn't eat them and also the dose would be too small if they did.

I would suggest going to the Talprid website and contacting the mfg. It worked well on my moles. I also used a device called a MoleMover that uses two C batteries and gives off a noise (underground) that simulates another mole/gopher that seems to have helped rid the yard of the critters.

No on gophers, maybe on shrews. Moles are insect eaters, and this product mimics one of their natural foods: earthworms. Gophers are herbivores; they only eat plants. There are specific products for gophers that take the form of grains or peanuts.Shrews are a maybe. They are omnivores, eating both insects and plants. I'd say the most effective method to eradicate shrews would be to use both products: this one, and one meant for gophers. Then, whichever food the shrew is in the mood to eat, you have it covered.

I can't say for the problem you have but my moles are under control; maybe one left and he is comming out of the woods.

These are horrible for the moles and gophers so I doubt they will work for your rodent. Look for the ones I used a couple years ago, though I don't remember the brand. They are not as big, but vibrate the ground. This item stinks.

It appears to work for rabbits. Nothing I've sprayed is being eaten by animals...I have a lovely garden and flowers for the first time in my life. Great stuff!

It worked for rabbits. I don't know about moles or voles. I would think it would work for voles, but not moles. However, I have switched to fencing as a simpler method to save the plants from the rabbits.

Hi? I have a mole trap and its built like a roman torture device. very heavy duty with long spikes. I believe that this is built this way due to its hard body and penetration. I have caught large gophers with the gopher kit. You may get lucky and hook into a mole. if you do? make sure to secure the trap with strong twine and a stake to keep him from takeing off with it. be carefull,protect your self and ware heavy duty gloves,sharp teeth. good luck.

I'm not sure if this one specifically is used to repel voles and gophers, but some of the recipes I have found call for unrefined castor oil.

I can tell you that it kept squirrels, rabbits, and any other such animals out of my vegetable garden. I had sprayed around the "borders" of my garden, and then misted the leaves of the various vegetable plants with it. My veggies were undisturbed, while those of my neighbors were ravaged. I would "guess" that it would have a similar effect on gophers. We had chipmunks in the neighborhood, but they didn't bother my garden.

I would guess it does, it says its for Guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals.

that I couldn't tell you, we (luckily)don't have any of those this year (yet).. It does however say on the box that it works on critters like squirrels and groundhogs, so it might work on gophers. When we had gophers in the past we used moth balls and put them down their holes.

Works fantastic on rabbits. I primarily use it as as a deer repellent, but it is extremely effective against rabbits and rodents.

It should, I would camouflage the trap if possible because shrews are more timid. And know what the shrew eats- better your chances of out smarting it.

I just use the mole traps. Not the gopher ones. We have moles and mophers or thats what the locals call them. They are cuter than moles. But more destructive. It takes two traps per hole so one trap won't work.

I can't say yes or no. I was having a rabbit and ground hog problem, and for those animals it did work. Unfortunately, I soon ran into a problem with a "herd" or field mice that decided to ravage my garden. I can't say one or or another if the product attracted the mice, but who knows for sure.

However difficult it was to use and in spite of the poor performance, it was apparently intended for use against gophers, according to the descriptions and the user documentation that came with the product. I have not attempted to use it against moles, however it would seem inappropriate for use against moles due to the basic construction and layout. A portion of the trap must remain above ground, whereas the better mole traps are all sub-surface.

For rabbits I sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden.For gophers, I pour a little in the hole and cover it.I seems to work a little better for rabbits. It needs to be reapplied every couple of weeks.

I don't know but suspect it will work on all small rodents. It sure kills rats and mice.
