Gophers – The Black Box. Find it at Hanks hardware or Ace. It’s a black box with a small hole in one end. Bury it so the hole is exposed to light. The gopher will try and close the hole and will trip a spring trapping the varmint. Worked after trying flooding, road flares, guns, etc.
Roach and Silverfish – Roach Proof – Again at an ACE Hardware. It’s a fine powder much like the Boric Acid and sprinkled around will work. Give it a couple of weeks.
Good Luck.

February 15, 2010 at 7:46 PM #513387temeculaguyParticipantI’ve had the black box for one year, not one catch. I loaned it to friends and it worked like a charm (3 dead in 48 hours), It’s been in place for one year, been tripped a dozen times, not one dead gopher. I move it to the freshest holes every few days, I trip it to make sure it works, I’ve tried various strategies of deployment, the square version and the tubular one with the light hole, burried it deep, shallow, angles, you name it. I know they work, I’ve seen them outperform every other trap, I’ve even seen this exact unit work on other people’s gophers, which is why I am only partly joking about my “supergophers.”
If I do ever catch one, I wonder if eating it will make me immortal?

February 16, 2010 at 7:54 AM #513458LuckyInOCParticipant[quote=waiting hawk]When I lived in San Bernardino I had 4 gophers. the 2 in the back I flooded them out and when they poppped out I shot them with my 22 rifle. The cops never came lol. I figured the larger the caliper ups the chances of police in that city. The 2 in the front I flooded and kicked them in the head so hard with my steal toed work boots. Man those little suckers can fly. Fun times. I have probably 10-20 gophers currently on my acre but do not think I can shoot them here. Be funny to put a video on utube kicking the crap outta em.[/quote]
