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.

If you use string then the gopher would just chew on it till its last breath. Not to mention that you cannot just pull the freaking trap out using its safety line. And now you are stuck with reaching out the trap and grabbing it with it being full of gopher.

If you dig a larger hole then the better changes that eventually find where the pest stopped filling back. Bear it in mind that it usually takes two tunnels under a pile of dirt. And the mound that you have found is neither the end nor the beginning of the burrow system, it is in the middle.

Spotting a new activity is easy because it was fresh. But if rain interferes then it will be different to tell the old from new and vice versa. Though that hole in the ground would be easy to identify base on memories that you remember, that moment where certainty as to what was made there.

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.
