Gopher Trap with Chain 4/8 Pcs Outdoor Gopher Mole Vole Traps Killer for Lawns Easy Set (8)
- Made of spring steel wire. - How Does It Work:The trap uses a series of intertwined wires that close quickly when triggered. As the gopher moves through its tunnel and contacts the trigger plate, the mechanism releases, causing the wires to close around the gopher.The Gopher Trap was devised on the practical principle that a gopher pushes dirt in front of it while tunneling. - Setting traps near fresh mound activity:Dig a small hole in the mound,place the trap in the hole,cover the hole lightly to block light.For captures when the gopher is exiting the tunnel - Setting traps in the main tunnel:To find a main tunnel,probe near the mound with a rod to see where the tunnel goes.Place the traps in opposite directions.Make sure the hole is covered so light does not enter - Trap retrieval:Drive the stake at the end of the chain into the ground to make it easier to retrieve and prevent the trap from being dragged away by the animal. - Most captures occur within 48 hours,relocate if unsuccessful after 48 hours
