18SEP09 - I have been fighting pocket gophers in our yard for a long time but finally, when the puny little traps I found locally turned out to be nearly completely ineffective, I surfed the Web for a better trap and this is what I found. Much more stout, better design, and MUCH more effective. It took me over two months to trap a mere two gophers with the old traps and I have already snagged 5 with the new traps in less than a week. Matter of fact, it's so much fun to finally catch them that now that our yard is gopher free, I'm moving outward to my neighbors' yards. (grin)
