      Last Thursday I discover a rat in my house. That day I bought 2 bags of Rat X, a Victor kill Rat trap, a live mouse trap (just in case). I setup the traps with peanut butter plus a live rat trap I had, scattered some Rat X, and setup the cameras. The rat was careful and smelled the traps but stayed away from them. Then on Friday it took just one pellet of Rat X. On Saturday I found the rat outside barely alive. I disposed of it humanely and set the body outside to see if an opossum would take it. Only ants wanted it. Problem solved!

    My buddy had pocket gopher problem. Finally he had enough, so he took out the acetylene welder. Then dug out the mound, put the rosebud tip down the tunnel and ran the gas down for a minute, then hit the starter. You could see the ground jump above the tunnel, 20 or so yards. Problem solved. Used to do that to tunnels in viet nam too.

    i love these traps. I had to wear surgical gloves after washing my hands and rub tomato leaves from my garden (strong odor) on trap and hands to get rid of my scent. I had minimal success unless I used this method. Also, stick a wad of tomato leaves in the trap -- it is like crack for gophers! I killed many, but never enough. There are always more down there.

    We seem to have the same problem with gophers as moles.

    i think moles voles and gophers look and smell fairly different from mice and rats, that's probably why they don't eat them. maybe you could try to skin then or just open them up so they smell like meat and blood, that would probably at least attract a fox, a coyote or something.

    The trap was stuck in its box, you just needed to give it a little flip.
