I know these are for moles but will this work for pocket gophers?

Actually I could not even get them to work for the moles.Sorry, I do not know about the gophers.This worked better for me for the moles. (6 Pack) Bonide Moletox Mole Traps Package of 6 TrapsGood luck.

I'm not sure what a pocket gopher is. I think that the traps work better for gophers (as in Oklahoma type) than for moles.

I am in Idaho and we have the pocket gophers and they work great. Just be sure that the hole is completely open even if you have to dig a bit.

Very effective on pocket gophers in Oklahoma. I set it twice in different areas and came away with two gophers. Follow the directions (best on YouTube) on how to set. Both gophers I trapped seemed to be solitary. Once that gopher was gone, all activity in that area stopped. Timing is important. When you see a fresh mound, set the trap right away as described.

Based on what I know about voles, the Mole trap is definitely the most appropriate size, however, I did a quick search and some recommend mouse traps. I have never experinced the challenge of voles so this recommendation is based strictly on size. The Cinch mole trap opens to about 2" which sounds about right for vole runs. However, I don't know how this trap will work with voles - these work for gophers because they have a strong desire to close tunnels once you open them and insert the trap.

I have never used it on Moles. I believe it is a gopher only trap. It may be worth a try. Most moles have surface tunnels and it would be hard to set the trap for them effectively. If you have gophers---this is the best solution I have discovered.

If you catch the varmint, then tie him down to the ground, then run over him with the tow-behind... yes, it will kill moles and gophers. But I don't recommend it for that purpose. lol

WE had a gopher in the yard about a year. Tried every thing to catch the critter. Took a chance and bought the Cinch Gopher Trap. It is about 12 inched long. Check the Cinch youtube video for the best instructions. We caught the gopher the first nite we used it. Good luck it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They may; I have caught one ground squirrel in my Cinch traps. He barely fit. They work well with pocket gophers.Stan

I agree. This works great for gophers. I had to buy 2 sizes as the smaller size caught some, but other critters were too big and would trip the trap before they'd get into it. Once I sized it correctly, they're great. You could try for ground squirrels, but get the biggest size.

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.

It is definitely for gophers as it is quite large. A mole would not typically be snapped in it.

No, it is made from a light plastic so a gopher would rip right through it. Bit works perfectly to keep birds out while allowing bees in.

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

These are horrible for the moles and gophers so I doubt they will work for your rodent. Look for the ones I used a couple years ago, though I don't remember the brand. They are not as big, but vibrate the ground. This item stinks.

these are medium traps and are to large for the pocket gophers we have in our area.

Hi? I have a mole trap and its built like a roman torture device. very heavy duty with long spikes. I believe that this is built this way due to its hard body and penetration. I have caught large gophers with the gopher kit. You may get lucky and hook into a mole. if you do? make sure to secure the trap with strong twine and a stake to keep him from takeing off with it. be carefull,protect your self and ware heavy duty gloves,sharp teeth. good luck.

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.

Yes but I have mole mounds right next to it. Save the batteries for a good flashlight and use it to shine on them and hit them with a shovel

I have used this for both with great results. This is the first year my yard is gopher free. I just trapped a mole that was doing major damage 2 days ago too.
