It took back to back Saturdays of digging to find gopher tunnels to bait and then a few weeks for the gophers to die after eating the bait. I have a yard slightly larger than an acre and put a total of 33 baits in lots of tunnels. I think all the gophers originally in my yard are dead. There are still gophers in my neighbors yards, and some will unfortunately eventually migrate to my yard.

We have had perpetual gopher problems with one dead plant after another. I have paid for several rounds of people to come and trap the gophers, except they always came back. Dug up the holes, dropped in the bait - and that is the last time we had a problem - now 4 months ago.

I spent over one-thousand dollars and countless hours over a six year period trying to eliminate the gophers and moles in my yard with ZERO success until I purchased this Pocket Gopher bait Block. What I found effective was to locate the tunnel near a mound of dirt; determine the direction they came from; using a shovel, dig a block of turf out to gain easy access to the tunnel; use a half-bar (a block is two bars) or a full-bar if I found a home-hole; dabbed some peanut butter on the end of the bar; insert the bar and replace the block of turf I removed. This worked for me - after about two months of diligent work my 3/4 acre lot is now gopher free (I used to have 7 to 10 fresh mounds and visible tunnel paths each week). I keep this product on hand for their spring and fall migrations and as soon as I see a mound, I use the process outlined above. What was once a daily war is now a one or two spots, twice a year. I will never eliminate these pests - no one every accomplishes that, but with the Pocket Gopher Bait blocks and a little peanut butter, they are very much under control.

Did not seem to work right away, but now that there is so much poison underground, they seem to be working to immediately kill off any new gophers.

It says for gophers. I am using it for ground hogs. I do not have a body count. However, the trails appear not being used. The grass is growing up again. I purchased another bucket, because I think it is working. Yes, I had what I consider a lot of ground hogs. We have little kids in this neighborhood. I would feel very bad if a kid got bit by a ground hog because of rabies concerns. I cannot tell one from ground hog from another. I tried live traps. This works much better than that.
