Product Description

The Original Black Hole Gopher Trap is the ultimate solution to all your backyard pest problems. Keep your lawn looking its best and keep unwanted guests out of your garden. The Black Hole Trap’s round shape fits right into the ground tunnels for easy capture. Gophers are very active, if one is not caught within a couple hours, remove the trap and place it in another hole. The trap is made of durable material and designed to last. The Black Hole catches all critters, keeping your property at its pest-free best. Setting Instructions: 1. Lay blackhole trap on flat surface. 2. With left hand, depress spring down flush with top of trap and hold down. 3. With tight hand, lay “spring bar” across spring and insert end in “trigger bar” across spring and insert end in “trigger” hold. Gently release. 4. The trap is now set and ready to install in gopher tunnel. Installing Instructions: 1. Lightly “prime” blackhole trap with loose soil to conceal cable noose and floor of trap. 2. Find a fresh gopher or mole mound. Dig up and expose open tunnel. In lawns, carefully spade up a rectangular piece of sod and save to cover hole once rodent is caught. 3. Install blackhole trap in tunnel opening and seal all cracks with loose soil to ensure no light enters. 4. Keep vent hole in the back end of the trap clear of soil to allow air to enter.

24 customers mention5 positive19 negative

Customers find the size of the gopher trap to be too big and bulky to use without destroying their yard. They say it's too large for the goper holes in Northern California and needs to be placed by excavating. Customers also mention that the opening is too small and the spring mechanism requires a lot of vertical space.

"...they are equally as efficient but I have found that they do need space to trigger and function as intended which I think is what makes them..." Read more

"...I measured it at 7 Inches. So this gopher trap will not fit IN a gopher hole, but can only be placed by excavating a fairly large hole in a fresh..." Read more

"...The issue is that the main hole is too small and the spring wire mechanism that catches and traps the gopher is very weak...." Read more

"...The Victor style traps are smaller, less noticeable, and can be placed deeper inside the gopher hole where it won't start to block the hole with..." Read more

20 customers mention0 positive20 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the mechanism of the gopher trap. They mention that the trigger for this trap has so much resistance that a gopHER will not be able to push it. The trap would never go off, it takes too much force to trip it, and the mechanism that catches and traps the goper is very weak. Some say that the trap didn't kill the gopper they caught.

"...2. Poorly designed trigger mechanism. My trap was impossible to set as it came, and I had to bend the trigger wire to reach the trigger hold...." Read more

"...find and release one before it suffocated, but I believe the spring is so strong they likely die immediately..." Read more

"...The first time the trap was snapped and filled with rocks and dirt...." Read more

"...too small and the spring wire mechanism that catches and traps the gopher is very weak. I put my finger in there and it was weak...." Read more

I haven’t been doing well with the victory traps, but that’s not to take away from them as I am sure they are equally as efficient but I have found that they do need space to trigger and function as intended which I think is what makes them difficult for me. This trap however first time using it, identify the active hole, put the trap in front of the hole, put some dirt around the trap and you are ready to go, I think what makes this efficient is that it works as a snare and the mechanism is on top which is exposed and not obstructed in any way. 100 % recommended!
