Gasser - This Bundle Pack Contains 3-Packs of Gopher Gassers Outdoor Fly Trap [2 Pack] - Non-Toxic Dissolvable Bait - Fly Control for Patios - Includes Hanging Ties

We discovered gopher problems after doing extensive landscaping. They were leaving mounds of dirt and eating plants from above and below.I tried repellent balls (garlic/peppermint) and they did nothing. So it was time to try these.After using about a dozen of these, the gopher problems is about 90% addressed. We very rarely see mounds and plants are mostly left alone.We do occasionally see a mound/hole and a plant does occasionally go missing, but I believe it would have been far worse without using these.The key, I believe, is to very frequently check for fresh mounds/holes and ideally you can put the gasser in very soon after the gopher has made the hole so they’re close by. If you discover the mound hours after it was made and the hole is plugged, you have no idea whether the critter is far away by then and with an extensive tunnel network, the gas may never get to them.This is why I think it took roughly a dozen sticks before we were able to kill or discourage them from staying in our yard. Some sticks may have been duds, the gophers may have departed the area - hard to say.But we were persistent and again, checked often for new activity and treated as soon as we saw fresh activity. I even saw the head of one once and dirt being chucked out of the hole. If I had a BB gun I may have tried to shoot the sucker, but I don’t have one, so the gasser had to do.But at least I knew he was right there.Again, based on my observations, I think it’s likely we still have a gopher around and I’ll continue to gas as I see fresh holes. But I think initially we must have had a few based on the number of holes we were seeing. Guessing we killed a couple/some, but didn’t get every one.Compared to paying a trapper, this is much more affordable. Not foolproof, but based on my experience, definitely provides some benefits even if not total extermination.

These appear to work but i have many more critters than I can keep up with.

It's pretty unlikely you would ignite one of these close enough to a mole to kill it. The main hope is the lingering smell will keep the mole away from that tunnel.

very good product

I've bought many of these gassers over the years. 8 minure burn time is flat out lie. On the last two packs they would stay lit for less that 1.4 minutes. I even created a video wasting a flare placing it on top of soil just to show Amdro they don't even come close to their advertised burn time. They blamed it on a bad batch and not to buy from Amazon. Instead they told me to buy them from HomeDepot or Lowes. I did and tried again, this time with a burn of less than 2.43 minutes. I'm so done with these guys. Horrible customer service even after sending them video proof. Most reputable companies would have thanked me for being such a loyal customer and offered to replace the gassers I purchased. Not these guys. Save yourself a lot of money and move to a 20 to 30 min flare. They're more expensive but at least they work. Amdro quality control has gone downhill and permanently lost a customer. Welcome to 2025.

Either we have a LOTof moles, or these do not work well in clay soil. Used 6 and still find dirt piles daily. Do not stand down wind the smell terrible, and it stays in your nice longer than any of us thought possible.

This gasser has worked for me to this point. I say "to this point" because these moles are formidable foes, and I expect to be dealing with them again in the future. Nevertheless, for now, I have achieved a temporary cessation in their activity. The key for me was the following:> Keep vigilant as to any fresh sightings.> Upon sighting, move quickly with the gassers -- I use two at a time.> Set-up your garden blower over the fresh opening and slowly blow air into it (Good videos on thistechnique can be found on YouTube.> Takes about 15-20 minutes to complete -- You will see smoke rising from spots where the moles haveadditional openings.> I used about a dozen gassers (different locations, different times) before I saw a cessation in activity.Good luck.

These work, you need to understand a little about how gophers work, the can have tunnels spanning hundreds of feet so you might need more than one or one time. Also sometimes they will plug a tunnel so sometimes smoke doesn't get them. I use gopher hawk traps 95% and these and/or poison when traps aren't doing it.
