Gopher Trap Kills Moles, Too
The GopherHawk trap that Lee deVries bought after reading about it in FARM SHOW is promoted primarily for gophers.
“But we’ve had good luck trapping moles, too,” says deVries, Crawsfordsville, Ore. “As soon as we start watering the yard each spring, the moles arrive for their grubs and worms. Over the years, I tried a variety of traps. Some worked, and some didn’t, but the GopherHawk works nearly all the time. Best of all, it’s very simple to use (www.gopherhawk.com; ph 805 486-8225).
“The GopherHawk comes with a probe that makes it easy to find the tunnel and a wedge that makes an opening to insert the trap. No need to dig up the ground and no worries about pets getting into the trap.
“The problem with moles as compared to gophers, is that the tunnels are so shallow. So to hold the trap in place, my wife made a couple of small sandbags out of scrap material to hold the trap vertical over the tunnel. With the GopherHawk, when the trap is tripped you always know you’ll have a mole.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with this great product.”
