We have had problems with breaks in our line caused by gophers. Will the gophers still be able to break thru this?

I'm sure there is always a possibility of animals chewing thru the line. However, the coating on this wire is extra thick. I'm very impressed with mine so far.

I do not think so. When a gopher digs a tunnel he is going to clear whatever is in the way.

Very likely yes. Break strength of the rope is more of a factor; spring for the heavier duty clothesline.

It can. Any varmint who tunnels. I have unintentionally caught a few voles even though my issue is gopher related. Happy hunting.

Yes they do catch them. I am using eight of them right now and had about two bugs within two weeks time. But as the other posters said they do crack easily. During my last inspection I noticed several of them are cracked.

They might,,line is like that of a weed Wacker. I was impressed by how well it worked. Best to detach the cable.

Not from my experience. We had a horrible winter with significant snow falls and ice storms. The guards held up amazing. Highly recommend.

We lost our sucton tip on our gopher pickup tool, so we ended up buying two new gopher pickup and reaching tool set. So if this happened again we had another one handy.

I have only tried with gophers catching a few moles as well. I believe the trap was designed to be placed into a hole. Most chipmunks I encounter are surface dwellers.

I would say No. I don't have chipmunks here but the spaces between the wires are large enough for chipmunks to go thru. If you want to keep chipmunks out you might have to use something like chicken wire.

I am in Idaho and we have the pocket gophers and they work great. Just be sure that the hole is completely open even if you have to dig a bit.

well I guess it depends on how big the rats are. my girbil can get out of the wire part. And can they chew through the plastic clamps.

Mine did not catch even a single gopher even tho it did trip once. I carefully placed it according to the directions to no avail. I did notice that it takes a lot of force to trip the trap--I doubt that a mole would be big or strong enough to do so. Even a gopher can get past the trip wire without releasing it. Trapline products.com makes the supposed hot ticket for moles.

Not sure. Didn`t work eliminating my gophers.I would check with the manufacturer.

Yes. It is the line itself. The company told me that the material is bio degradable so it will stick together and cause the line not to feed. Seems to me they should do something about it since they give you lifetime replacement on the line spools. (you have to pay shipping)

The wire would be sturdy enough. My only concern would be if they can dig through underneath. Otherwise, I think it would work!

They may; I have caught one ground squirrel in my Cinch traps. He barely fit. They work well with pocket gophers.Stan
