## Description

Gonzo 5001 Dead-End Mole & Gopher Trap

Review: It works! - This little trap Works, IF, you know how to use it. I had paid my pest control guy 600.00 bucks to get rid of gophers that were tearing up my landscaping. After two months with no results, I did some research and found this trap online. I bought it, found a fairly new gopher hole, and placed the trap according to the instructions. It took me four days to catch a gopher. So, two months, pest control company 0, four days homeowner 1. This trap is very easy to use. 1. find a gopher hole. 2. Dig out around the gopher hole so that there is a slight descending trail leading down to the hole. 3. Set the trap by pushing the arm down and setting the trigger mechanism. 4. Set the trap at the mouth of the hole, and cover everything except the trapping mechanism with dirt. Covering the trap with dirt (except the mechanics on top) is important because the idea is that they feel like they are still underground, until it is too late. The pest control company I was using, was using another type of trap that required poking holes in the ground around a gopher hole and then driving a pick through the ground to create another hole that would be used to put their trap in. After two months of that, my yard was looking like Swiss Cheese. To conclude. The trap was made out high quality plastic and metal. It was super sturdy and well made. The value compared to the what the pest guy charges is unbelievable. The functionality was spot on compared the ones that the company used. The Catchability was 4 days compared to two months + In closing. I really like this trap. When you are done, you have the one hole that the gopher made to deal with, not a hundred holes that were a product of a bunch of failed attempts.
Review: Great and effective trap, easy to use. - Caught gopher within 2 hours after learning how to properly use the trap. Here are some tips. When you find an active hole, digital it out enough to lay the trap somewhat flat inside, so that the mouth of the trap lines up with the hole. I put peanuts in the back of the trap. For those of you complaining that the gopher fills it with dirt, its because you are not blocking out all the light. Its best to cover the trap with loose soil/dirt as to make sure the light is blocked out completely. If you are unsure, also throw a bucket over it too. There must be NO LIGHT or it will get filled with dirt. Do some research on how to properly trap gophers. Blindly setting a trap with no knowledge will not get you good results. If you do it right, this trap works every time. Although it doesnt always kill them quickly. Sometimes they suffer for hours. FYI.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work for bats in the house?**
A: No.  This device is placed into the ground and works extremely well for gophers, moles and maybe even voles.

**Q: What is the diameter of a trap? i think it's miswritten in product dimensions 1 x 1 x 1 inches. does it work against ground squirrels?**
A: Much bigger. I use These to kill ground squirrels. Some are as big as they come. Be sure to tie the trap down solid  so they donot walk off whith it
Bate the trap whith what they are eating tward the inside rear

**Q: Will this work on muskrats?**
A: It works with moles, rats and mice. Muskrats are about four times the size of a rat and won’t fit in the trap. Also, the trap works best in a feeding tunnel on dry land. That’s not a habitat for muskrats.

**Q: Can this be set in a way that’s non lethal? We would like to relocate the gopher.**
A: Thankfully, it’s pretty darn lethal. I would hate to remove a gopher who is alive and angry. I think they call it a Dead End trap for a reason.

### ⭐ Difficult to use. Never got it to work right. Should have listened.
*by P***. on November 22, 2025*

Don't do it unless you have a master gopher catcher in the house. The spring was difficult to set and kept coming undone. I could never get it to even get set up right. A waste of money. Threw it away. A friend already told me the same thing happened. Should have listened.
