How To Securely Trap And Catch A Gopher In Your Backyard With Tools

By Richard Cox


Some found them cute a lot look at them like pest. Maybe because they are sometimes, they dig holes in our garden. That is why we look for a way to How to Trap a Gopher.

One way to find the tunnel is by poking the hole with stick in which it can be probe in the ground. One might use a rebar with rounded end to do it. It starts by a guessing game as where the tunnel will be and then push it into the ground. If tunnel could be feel then good but if not then try again.

Today, let us talk about trapping them and finally put to an end to their invasion. There is a lot of information about gopher like the other animals, but it is quite hard to find instruction as to how they can be caught. But this will be quite easy to follow and it might work if the gophers would not be smart as a dolphin.

It can be done with your own, and it would not cause you an arm and some leg. It might cost the gophers lives because they are the being trap. If it comes to that then one have to choice between what is the most important to you, the lawn, garden, the trees or your personal safety or the gopher life. In most cases the gopher loses its life.

Do not forget to cover the trap hole with anything, board, cardboard or plastic. You should keep it dark. The gophers have impressive hearing but poor vision but that does not mean it cannot see light. If they detect that there is light in the ambush you made then they are not likely to come walk in it. Now you will just have to wait for it to find it and hope it is the right size

Also, the gopher when digging has mouth full of dirty earth. And then he keeps on thinking about running back to where it all started but he will figure out soon that it is too far. So the gopher will dig up above the ground and will spit the dirt out, creating a pile of dirt.

When new activity is spotted, you should note where the location is. So when you return from in your shed with hunting tools, you would know where to start. The hard part is finding those tunnels. Find a mound and under it is probably the tunnel. There is no exact machine to locate where exactly the passage is located.

Once the gopher tunnels are found, they will be wide open. So normally that will involve sticking the hand back into passage and clear the dirt out of it and other things that you find in there. And once again just reminders please wear gloves when doing it.

Typically, the gophers does not care about the pile that much. Though they care about the passage that they are digging, the mound is where they put the dirt on. The dirt will spit out at the other hole and would go back to work again. And certainly they care less about what mound will look like after the whole digging. It will take a lot of effort to get rid of those pests.
