When set correctly, these traps are incredibly effective! I’ve tried many other styles/brands and this trap has the least number of nonlethal catches. Most of the gophers I have caught where trapped such that it appears they died instantly.
The great thing about these traps is that you don’t have to dig up The gopher hole. All you have to do is find the gophers tunnel, punch a hole in it, and set the trap. The difficulty is that it takes a little while to develop a sense for where the tunnels are.
The thing I found most useful when probing for a tunnel is to move the probe from side to side after stabbing it into the ground to feel if the tip of the probe can move around. If the tip is stuck in the dirt, that means it’s probably not in a tunnel no matter how easy it was to stab into the ground. If you can feel the tip of the probe moving back-and-forth, then it’s in an open space, i.e. the tunnel.
Once you have the hole in the right place, be careful setting this trap. I ruined the first trap I bought by pushing down too hard on it when setting it. The actual snare is fairly strong, but thin metal and can get bent out of shape pretty easily. The good news is, that it can be bent back into shape pretty easily too or you can buy a new snare without buying a new trap.
If you want to bend the snare back into shape, read the instructions for installing a new snare so that you can take the tension off the spring before you get started.
All in all, The best gopher trap on the market. If you have moles instead of gophers, it may also work, but there are traps out there designed just for moles you may want to look at.

27 gophers in 42 days
I live on just under an acre of land. For many years, I would use the ol' water hose method to flood the gopher tunnels to get a gopher. I dom't have the time to do that and waste precious water. Our neighbor let us borrow a Gopherhawk when I asked for help with getting rid of gophers. Right away, we started getting a gopher a day. So we bought 6 Gopherhawks for the front and back yard. In total, 42 days have passed with 27 gophers caught. These gophers have VERY extensive tunnels because they wouldn't flood after over 2 hours of watering. I am so glad we can repair our lawn and so glad they kill so quick. I am an animal lover and didn't want to try this product at first. But my kids and our dog's safety comes first.

Easy to use, effective and affordable. The first time I used the gopher hawk I was successful. Will probably be ordering more. Appears to be well-made for the price.
