do these work on gophers?

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.

The older version does - these are extremely poorly made - they go off all the time, whether there is anything in front of them or not. And, they break very, very easily. However, the older version worked great on our resident gophers and groundhogs. If the animal is within sensor range, they take a bath! Most animals find that really uncomfortable - and I now have flowers where no flowers survived the munching before. In fact, our vegetable garden is unfenced. We have motion sensors on each side - so everything is open and accessible but safe.

I have never thought to try it for gophers and moles. I have a problem with those critters, myself. I do not believe it would work on them because the Yard Guard Repellers are used above ground. Gophers and moles have underground tunnels. The sound waves the machine emits would only work above ground.

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.

Yes they do. I try not to leave them out except when I'm there hunting. I always spray them with WD 40 when I put them away. I use them mainly to keep the coons away from my deer feeders. We are overrun with coons and they can empty a feeder quick.

The Black hole(s) worked very well on the gophers. I bought two and sometimes place them back to back in the tunnel. At first, I caught four within a few days after receiving. I believe that I have and infestation. My recent success has not been as good, the gophers will push dirt into trap to trip the release mechanism. I tried the tunnel fill products - they do NOT kill. KILL with black box.

I doubt it, as the sound waves bounce off surfaces causing discomfort for the creatures - there is nothing that goes underground. It would only work on gophers and moles that are above ground.

I really don't know but these gopher traps work very well. We live on about the same acreage and my husband is always at war with the 'varmints '...:)

Not sure. Didn`t work eliminating my gophers.I would check with the manufacturer.

Don't put anything on the trap, best to use gloves to handle and set, gophers have a keen since of smell. These traps are very effective if set when you first see the gopher digging out their hole. Be sure and dig out the front of the hole to more level the traps.

I can't even get it to Kill Gophers. Save your money. Just Get the Gopher CINCH TRAP (S) ..

As far as I can tell it works against rabbits. Not sure about moles and voles though.

They work very good on tough skinned critters. I do like them a lot better than the others.

I have only tried with gophers catching a few moles as well. I believe the trap was designed to be placed into a hole. Most chipmunks I encounter are surface dwellers.

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 have small traps that I have a lot of luck with. I have one larger trap that I can never get in the hole because it is so large. I think the size of the gophers depend on where you live. Ours must be the smaller ones. Perhaps you have a mole.

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.
