Question 1

What do you do when they aren’t dead?

Accepted Answer

As unsavory as it sounds, but in an effort to expedite the obvious outcome for the gopher, I have on 3 occasions stomped on the Gopher.  I wear a sized 16 shoe and death for the animal is certain and immediate.  Sounds gruesome, but It only suffers in the snare another second or 2 from the time I retrieve it utill It's dead.  Dont get me wrong.  I'm not holding a funeral wake for any of these destructive pests, but I take no satisfaction in it either.  It's just to me the quickest easiest way.

Question 2

I accidentally ordered just the trap. Can it be set without the wedge and probe tools?

Accepted Answer

The probe is easy to do without - just use a long screw driver to find the hole. The wedge is going to be harder to live without.  It does a nice job opening up the tunnel without collapsing it.  My advice would be to buy another full kit and then you can have two traps set at the same time.

Question 3

Just double checking, does this really work on moles?

Accepted Answer

It is not designed to work on moles. I have caught moles with this trap but the mole was using a gopher tunnel, not his own shallow one.

Question 4

I see in the reviews that this unit has broken for some after only a few uses. What is the warranty on this unit?

Accepted Answer

My wedge tool broke so I emailed them about warranty.  There is zero warranty!  Not only have I purchased 6 of these but two of my neighbors also purchased a bunch because I told them about the trap.  Best that gopher hawk could do for me is allow me to buy another trap set with the wedge.  Are you F ing kidding me?  Piss poor service if you ask me!  Least they could do is give me a free cheap piece of plastic wedge tool!
