This is best gopher trap I have used, it is durable, small and easy to carry/deploy. Much stouter than other "insert into burrow type traps", kills quickly without making a bloody mess, and the website of mfg. provides detailed instruction on where and how to set. Buy several IF you are serious about reducing these destructive, industrious burrowing/root destroying pests in the garden/fields. Often requires multiple traps on a single "set".
