Does it actually kill gophers??how do you know? Gophers come and go, could they just be gone and come back after a while? SHOW ME THE DEAD GOPHERS!

Yes this does kill gophers, And you dont really know because you can not see them, Sometimes you will just stop seeing activity and there are times where you can smell them.

I don't know if they're attacted to it but if you put it in their path, they will eat it. We've found 3 dead voles, but strategic placement of the bait seems to be important. Voles don't like to stray from their well worn paths of travel.

Yes it is a big trap. In fact, the trap is too big for most gophers in Southern California. The trap looks bad-ass. However, I've tried it twice unsuccessfully because I think my gophers are too small. IO get them with my other traps. :)

we caught 30 on our one acre. the gophers were easy. the moles are not. good luck, the trap worked well for gophers.

I feed it to my gerbils, but I imagine they'd be about the same as hamsters. I mixed just a little in with their other food, and gradually increased the amount of the Oxbow. At first they didn't seem to like it, but I noticed it gradually got eaten. One I ran out of the old stuff, all they got was the Oxbow, and when they got hungry enough, they ate it. They've been getting this over about a year now, and gobble it right up! I don't think any of them will starve to death when there's food available.

I can tell you that it kept squirrels, rabbits, and any other such animals out of my vegetable garden. I had sprayed around the "borders" of my garden, and then misted the leaves of the various vegetable plants with it. My veggies were undisturbed, while those of my neighbors were ravaged. I would "guess" that it would have a similar effect on gophers. We had chipmunks in the neighborhood, but they didn't bother my garden.

I don`t have any idea about voles or gophers, we don`t have any where I live. As far as killing instantly, to my knowledge the answer would be yes. The moles are always dead when I pull the trap from the ground.

The Black hole(s) worked very well on the gophers. I bought two and sometimes place them back to back in the tunnel. At first, I caught four within a few days after receiving. I believe that I have and infestation. My recent success has not been as good, the gophers will push dirt into trap to trip the release mechanism. I tried the tunnel fill products - they do NOT kill. KILL with black box.

Works great for gophers...until they figure out that they should push new dirt in tunnel to trip the box. Now using more pricey "tunnel fill".

Yes, this airgun is powerful, and accuracy according to it size. I shot a rabbit from 30 yards, just one shot clean kill. I think within 30 yards it is good enough to kill gophers.

No on gophers, maybe on shrews. Moles are insect eaters, and this product mimics one of their natural foods: earthworms. Gophers are herbivores; they only eat plants. There are specific products for gophers that take the form of grains or peanuts.Shrews are a maybe. They are omnivores, eating both insects and plants. I'd say the most effective method to eradicate shrews would be to use both products: this one, and one meant for gophers. Then, whichever food the shrew is in the mood to eat, you have it covered.

No. The Beeman P17 Pellet Pistol is not powerful enough to kill striped gophers. Great for target shooting. You are welcome.

These traps work on gophers, not moles. If you happen to catch a mole in one of these it has to walk through the trap. moles eat grubs and worms, so baiting these wont help. To get rid of moles, try flooding with water, and blocking all exits.

If they breath they will die. It wouldn't surprise me if it killed Cave Bats (:))

I do not know about moles ~ you could try ... moles are smaller than gophers ... but it has done fantastic job on gophers ...

I have caught a mole - but only if they happen to stray in! Moles do not have set patterns like gophers - but it can happen.
