    Great gopher trap

    By David on 07/03/2020

    I've been using these traps for years but you have to do one thing for them to work. If you do this one thing, you will catch gophers 85% of the time. You must seal every hole so there is no air and no light entering the trap.

    Review Wilco Woody Box Trap

    By Mac on 04/12/2023

    In my humble opinion having trapped gophers for over 30+years, the Wilco Woody Box Trap is not the so-called "best" trap out there. In fact, it is inferior to the Victor Black Box Trap model #625 (now no longer available). The 625 Victor is by far a better trap for a few good reasons: 1 The trap is made of hardened/heavy duty and durable plastic, not wood! 2. It is constructed so that the farmer can set the sensitivity of the trap, This is very important when trying to trap more difficult gophers. 3. Try leaving a wooden trap outside in the rain for a few years.
