Victor® Easy Set Gopher Trap
Instructions
To locate tunnels in frequent use, clear away a mound of soil and probe for the
opening usually a short passage that leads down a few inches to the main tunnel.
To Set the Gopher Traps:
1. Hold the trap in one hand, and with the fingers of your other hand, lift up
trigger bar "A" to an almost vertical position (Illustration 1).
2. With thumb positioned behind jaws "B", press down on upper frame (arm) "C"
until closed end of trigger bar "A" engages under lower frame (base) "D"
(Illustration 2).
3. With thumb of other hand, press down on open end of trigger bar "A" to hold
trap set, and engage pan "E" over ends of trigger bar (Illustration 3).
4. Place set trap(s) in gopher hole flush with tunnel bottom. Secure trap by wire
or cord to a stake positioned outside of tunnel entrance to prevent gophers
from dragging traps along tunnel.
5. Leave a small diameter hole in the center of the tunnel between the two
gopher traps (Illustration 4).
Caution: When setting or handling set gopher traps, keep fingers away
from jaws. Keep gopher traps away from children and anyone unfamiliar
with their use.
