[QUOTE="SerchforPerch, post: 183911, member: 2585"] Ive killed exactly one pocket gopher for the last 7 years straight in my yard and this year is the first year that I haven't had one.. As odd as it sounds, I actually look forward to to the challenge of trapping them! I figured out you need to first find the plug, and locate its travel routes. Find where two travel routes intersect and place a trap (death clutch is found at Runnings and work awesome!) and cover the hole with some type of cover (without filling the hole with dirt). Its crucial that you cover the entrance completely and not allow any light penetrate. Even the slightest amount of light and you'll find yourself with a buried trap and no gopher.. Give it a few hours and check, if nothing, leave overnight. If you set the trap properly and covered the hole properly you'll have a dead gopher in no time. [/QUOTE]
