I had a Valley Pocket Gopher move in and start tearing up the front yard. At first I thought it was a ground squirrel from the mounds of dirt I saw at first.

Watch my travails in the video to see who wins out.

Great website on traps and how to set them.

  • you sound not sure on what are u doing

  • Guys, i was wrong,stake the traps. the other day i was too lazy to remove the gopher out of the trap..left it over night,next day gone. Set my other trap secured with a rock.next day gone...i thought it could be a fox. ...the last two days there has been a huge grey Hawk hanging out on the telephone line... lazy bastard. If it wants fresh gophers it should learn to clean the traps and then bring them back...so i can use them again!

  • should use rage broadheads they drop it instantly

  • I like this....I like the Sweeny Traps.

    Some side notes: You dont need to stake it down(just a string) if the trap works properly,the impact on the gopher head imobilises the whole body. I would'nt want to get my finger caught in that son of a bitch!

    Another note: once you dig up the hole to locate the tunnels,and set the trap.find a rock or brick and set it over the hole...to block out the light.

    I love to come back the next day and fell the extra weight on the string...its like fishing

  • My Basset caught one this morning. I don't know what's worse, the gopher or my dog digging up the whole yard trying to catch them!

  • I feel so sad about the yard. Just horrible! How will the poor people ever survive?!

  • I used a heavy steel spike to follow the tunnels right to the border of the property, I knew they were coming from the north anyway.

  • LOL, I love the part at the end where it comes up and he whacks it w/ a club hammer he had hidden on the other side of him.
