Monterey Go-DIE Gopher Bait

It works! It is effective in reducing the endless damage the gophers do to your yard and property! I have used it both by just pouring the bait in the holes but love the effectiveness of the gopher bait applicator the best! It puts the bait further down into the hole and easily deposits the pellets to kill the gophers deep into the tunnels! I had 80 gophers recently on my property and now I am down to just 15 new holes which have appeared after the first application of bait. Hooray!

The good stuff. One dose kills gopher without having to reapply in the tunnel runs that collapse. Pro tip. Eliminate the weeds they feed on and bye bye pest. Btw, never had any "secondary" deaths. Same hawks have returned to my property for over 10 plus years. My dogs have also lived beyond normal ages for the breed standards. 14 to 17 years. 3 acres in so cal.

This product does work. Since using it, there's a lot less mole activity in my yard. I am careful not to use it anywhere that my pets have access to. The only comment is that the second time I ordered it, the container was already opened and it was less than half full. I know it's sold by weight, but what was in the second container was much less than had been in the first one.

I am so excited that this bait did the trick. I had pocket gophers destroying one of my garden beds, digging underneath and eating the roots of the plants from below, then emerging on the surface at night to eat the plants from the top, completely destroyed my plants. I tried other methods like smoke bombs and traps not wanting to use poison. But after the bed was completely decimated, I finally broke down and purchased these Go Die bait pellets. I also purchased the Yard Butler Gopher Bait Applicator (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOMCJE0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to make sure I do the job right. Using the applicator, I was able to poke around the mounds until I found the den. It was over 2 feet down and huge! I made sure I dispense plenty of this bait. Then I dug open several of the surface tunnels. If the gophers are alive, they will usually repair the damage the very next day. Well, it's been a week they are as I left them. There is no more gopher activity. I have even replanted the bed... and so far, so good. Additionally, I feel good about delivering the poisonous bait so deep in the ground that the bait pellets themselves and the dead poisoned gophers cannot be accidentally be eaten by other animals, or come to the surface when I put plants down. I have to say that this bait in combination with the applicator was SUPERBLY effective. Sure it's over $20 for a pound of this bait. But I literally only used 2 tablespoons. I'll have bait for years in case a new family of gophers decides to take up residence in my beds again. Looking back, I should have done this sooner. I might have been able to save some of the garden before it was destroyed. TLDR: I highly recommend this bait and also that you get the applicator while you're at it. Sometimes you need to just spend some money to make sure you're getting effective tools for the job at hand! Go Die, gophers. Go Die!

This is a great product if you want to create a groundhog this is addicted to and seeks out this stuff. We have a huge ground hog under our garage, laid the bait in the amounts as directed only to have this creature tough through it like a tummy ache. At one point (to the fault of myself) I found that it had found the container, chewed a hole through it and ate more than half a container of the bait. Now, youd say "surely, it died." No. It hasn't died, but my winter squash and morning glories have been quite the amazing snacks for it.

Other customers should know that these big bottles are only about 1/2 full!! This product works great!! I feel like the product is mispackaged!!

FINALLY! A product that actually killed my varmints. I wasted months and $$hundreds trying to get rid of the moles that kept destroying my lawn with tunnels everywhere. The EPIC Mole Scram repellent (castor oil) didn't work, despite spreading two 5-gallon buckets in 4 applications. It made my yard smell like a newly-paved asphalt parking lot, but did not phase the moles. I bought and deployed 5 bottles of the ProZap zinc phosphide pellets in the tunnels over an 8 week period, and they also seemed to have no effect on the moles. Finally, in desperation, I ordered one bottle of this Monterey Go-DIE Gopher Bait (strychnine) and sprinkled a little into holes in the tunnels, covering them up afterward. I know it is lethal, because I found a dead dove the next day in my back yard. Although I have no pets or children, I still was careful to cover the holes into the tunnels with dirt to prevent wildlife kills, but that dove apparently pecked a few pellets out of the dirt. Anyway, the tunnel activity is dramatically reduced after the first treatment. I applied another dose the next week, and have not seen any new mole activity since. Never did see a live mole, or smell dead ones, but I'm convinced that they're dead - this Go-DIE stuff really works!

This product seems to work. Cut down my gopher activity in my yard after the first application.
