Gopher Gasser Bundle Containing (3) Packs of Gopher Gassers 6 Packs. 18 Total Gassers.

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.

i think i am controlling pocket gophers with these. little devils make a series of nice, round holes down to the hell from whence they come. you light the fuse, drop it in the hole, fuse up, then throw a pat of dirt on top and tamp it with your foot to seal it. then seal off any holes you see leaking gas out. that puts a stop to activity in my yard for upwards of two weeks...before they regroup in my neighbors jungle stronghold and start the next invasion. a side note, amazon suggestions for the review include taste and odor. maybe mankind still does have a chance against ai...

I have been using these for gopher control on our Little League fields. They seemed to be working well but the last batch that I bought had at least 5 "duds". The fuse lights but when it burns down, it does not light to create smoke. In on attempt, I used 4 until they worked correctly. If the next batch is the same I will have to look for an alternate control method. UPDATE: I just used 5 of these today/ Only one worked and 5 duds. I am going to try the Gopher Hawk. The quality control on the bombs as gone in the toilet! At almost $2 each that is a big waste. It is the product, NOT the seller.

They work ok if it is able to reach where the little rodent critters are hiding.. had mixed results...although they are fun to use.

It took me ages to work out how to use these gassers. Now, I actually dig to reveal the mole tunnel, and use my hand to see which direction it is following and clear it out. Mole holes are only 1-2" wide, much smaller than you think from the amount of soil the pile up. Once I have opened the hole, I clear a path with my finger, then test fit the gasser. Then, I light the gasser and let the fuse burn down to about an inch, and push it gently into the tunnel, fuse first. That means the smoke goes into the tunnel system, not backwards out of the hole.

I have gone through quite a few of these gassers for voles. Not sure how effective as I still have the problem, though activity seems a bit reduced immediately after they are used. It seems they go away after I blast them, stop digging, then months later they are back. I have tried the caster oil, poison worms, and traps. My gardening helper uses them differently than I. He puts them in the hole, lights it, and when it starts burning he puts the leaf blower in the hole behind it and blows the smoke into the tunnel. I put them in the hole, light it, cover it tightly with soil, and let it do its thing. Even though I have had marginal success, I will probably buy more even if it is just to harass those little buggers.

These worked very good for our moles in our yard. You can only use one in each hole. Be sure that you dig the dirt out that the mole has pushed up and find the tunnel with both open ends underground. Then set the gasser horizontal so each end is open in a tunnel and light it. It will shoot the gas smoke both ways for at least a minute if not longer. It only does that if you find the tunnel that goes through. If you don’t get it in the tunnel, then it will shoot smoke on one side and then the smoke will start coming back out. If that happens, just put a bucket over it that gives it a little air to keep the fuse going. If you find the tunnel, you will see very little smoke come out of the hole that you put the gas are in. I thought it was kind of like Fourth of July celebration for Mr. Mole RIP

I’ve been fighting with these gophers for about two years now this is the only thing I have found that has actually worked. I bought three packages.
