GopherHawk Gopher and Mole Single Trap GH-TRP — 20" x 1½" Compact Above-Ground Spring Trap, Stainless Straps

The GopherHawk® Single Trap (GH-TRP) is a compact, professional-grade spring trap engineered to humanely and efficiently catch gophers and moles without digging, baiting, or poison.

Designed, engineered and assembled in the USA, the GopherHawk GH-TRP is a low-profile rodent control tool that offers a quick kill and easy cleanup while minimizing contact with soil or the pest. Made with durable materials and stainless steel straps, this single trap gives landscapers, gardeners, and homeowners a straightforward above-ground indicator and simple disposal process. It ships without the Wedge & Probe tool and measures 20" x 1½", fitting discreetly into runways and trouble spots.

How does the GopherHawk trap work without digging or baiting?

The GH-TRP activates from surface placement near active tunnels and uses a precision spring mechanism to deliver a fast, humane kill when the animal disturbs the trigger. Because it relies on placement and mechanical action, there’s no need to excavate burrows or set attractants, reducing labor and time spent on setup.

• Above-ground catch indicator shows activity without opening soil
• No bait required — relies on animal movement in runways
• Compact 20" x 1½" profile fits most tunnel openings
• Quick-snap action for efficient results

What materials and build quality can I expect from the GH-TRP?

The trap is constructed for professional use with corrosion-resistant stainless steel straps and a robust spring system. Its components are selected for durability and repeated field use, making it suitable for seasonal pest control work across different yard conditions.

• Stainless steel straps resist rust and field wear
• Professional-grade springs and metal parts for consistent performance
• Proudly designed and assembled in the USA
• Lightweight but sturdy for easy transport and storage

How do I set, check, and dispose of catches safely?

Setting the GH-TRP involves placing the trap at an active runway entrance or along a surface scent trail; the above-ground indicator shows when you've caught an animal, so you avoid digging. Disposal is straightforward and sanitary because you don’t have to handle the soil or directly touch the pest; follow local regulations for humane disposal.

• Place at suspected tunnel entrances or runways
• Use the visible catch indicator to monitor activity
• Remove and dispose according to local rules—no soil handling needed
• Does not include the Wedge & Probe tool—sold separately

Will the trap work for both gophers and moles?

The GH-TRP is designed to be effective for both gophers and moles when positioned in active runways or entry points. Its slim footprint and rapid mechanical action make it adaptable to the common tunnel sizes and movement patterns of these burrowing pests.

• Sized to fit typical gopher and mole tunnels
• Works above ground with runway placement—ideal for both species
• Quick activation reduces chances of escape or injury
• Suitable for repeated use across multiple sites

Who is this for? The GopherHawk GH-TRP is aimed at homeowners, gardeners, and pest professionals who want a reusable, non-chemical solution for burrowing rodents. It’s particularly useful for people who prefer low-impact methods that avoid digging and baiting, and for those who need a durable trap they can rely on season after season.
