Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black Hole Rodent Trap
Customer Review: These traps ROCK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 3 of these during the winter 08/09 and finally put them out. We have had an increasing problem with voles, eating small tree roots, irises, everything in my garden etc etc the past 3-4 years. I have tried just about every kind of trap, smoke bombs (kind of fun, but no boom) with no success until these.
My wife is ahead of me, 6 to 4 on voles eliminated, in just the past couple of weeks.
These traps rely on the psychology of the critter (what little there is for a vole) in that there is a small opening at the end that MUST be filled in to close out the light/air/water/predators etc from it's tunnel - stick it's little head in and so much for the vole.
I can't recommend these more highly - they work and are well built - the only problem is that they are black, and easy to loose in high grass. I tied bright surveyor tape on to make them easier to find.
Description of Black Hole Rodent Trap
This is the number 1 selling gopher trap in the USA Use Blackhole For Gophers, Rats, and Moles. Find a Fresh Gopher or Mole Mound: 1. Lightly "prime" blackhole trap with loose soil to conceal cable noose and floor of trap. 2. Find a fresh gopher or mole mound. Dig up and expose open tunnel. In lawns, carefully spade up a rectangular piece of sod and save to cover hole once rodent is caught. 3. Install blackhole trap in tunnel opening and seal all cracks with loose soil to insure no light enters. 4. Keep vent hole in the back end of the trap clear of soil to allow air to enter. Why Gophers Pack Dirt in Trap: a. Trap improperly set in tunnel. b. Light leakage into trap. c. Trap too "stiff." Readjust trigger for tripping with just a slight touch. d. Maybe you have a smart gopher. If packing persists, stick a carrot in the vent hole and reset trap. Let's see how smart he is! 1. Lay blackhole trap on flat surface. 2. With left hand, depress spring down flush with top of trap and hold down. 3. With tight hand, lay "spring bar" across spring and insert end in "trigger bar" across spring and insert end in "trigger" hold. Gently release. 4. The trap is now set and ready to install in gopher tunnel. A Few Extra Trapping Tips: 1. Trap evening and early morning. 2. Cover gopher & mole trap with loose soil, sealing all light except vent hole on end. 3. Wash blackhole trap with water after use. 4. Set gopher & mole trap in fresh tunnel only. If no activity in a few hours, move trap. For Rats: 1. Set trap as per gopher instructions. 2. Drop bait through vent hole in rear of trap, keeping bait behind trigger grid. Sprinkle a small amount of bait at the mouth of the trap to entice rats. For bait, use corn, nuts, seeds, grain, bread crumbs, peanut butter, etc. 3. Set the rat trap in areas where rats are active-under sinks, behind appliances, in storage areas, etc.Kitchen and Housewares
