前5个最佳的Gopher诱饵（** 2021评论**）

How do you choose the best gopher bait?

Make sure it contains a good attractant.If the gopher isn’t attracted to the bait or lured by the smell or taste, he won’t eat it. It has to smell like food.

Only use baits that have a history of success. Just because there’s a new bait on the market doesn’t mean it’s the best, or that it even works.

Why should you be the beta-tester for the manufacturer? Let someone else have that role. Stick to the baits with a proven track record.

Another determinant is how much of a bait is required to kill the gopher. Once the animal is attracted to the bait, it should only take a few bites for him to ingest a fatal dose.

If it takes more than that, it tells you the active ingredient has been diluted too much. The animal will get sick without dying, then develop a bait aversion to that active ingredient anytime it encounters it in the future.

Finally, how long does it take the gopher to die once it’s ingested a lethal dose?

Ideally, it shouldn’t take more than a day or so. If it takes much more than a day for the animal to die, you’re looking at another bad formulation.

Is gopher bait safe for pets and children?

No!

Gopher Bait有毒。

It’s never safe around pets and children.

如果您的一只宠物或孩子吃了一些地鼠，请立即将它们带到医院。根据活性成分的类型，包装可能会告诉您引起呕吐，但不要等待。

把他们带到医院！

• To avoid a panic-inducing trip to the ER, store gopher bait where pets and children can’t get to it, preferably in a locking drawer or cabinet high off the ground.
• 让他们远离被治疗的区域。
• Fence the area off if possible.
• Otherwise, keep your pets on a leash away from the treated area and make sure your children avoid it too.

Gopher Bait的优势是什么？

Gopher陷阱杀死了地鼠。如果您使用的是陷阱，则必须在将其尸体从陷阱中拆下时处理。

Since these are wild animals we’re talking about, they could be carrying lice, fleas, or mites. They could be covered in excrement. Depending on how the trap killed them, they could be very bloody.

Bait keeps you away from all that.

The traps themselves will almost always have hair, skin, fecal, matter, or bodily fluid on them after catching and killing a gopher. You’ll have to clean the trap after each use, requiring you to handle all those事物在陷阱上。

Bait protects you from that as well.

最后，任何未使用的毒药都将保留在您院子下方的隧道中，这是对未来入侵者的长期威慑。

If a foraging gopher comes your way he’ll want to re-use the existing tunnels, where he’ll encounter any leftover bait. He’s foraging because he’s hungry so he’ll eat it and die, perhaps before you even know a new gopher is in the area.

Where in your yard should you apply gopher bait?

您需要在距土墩的主要开口约18-24英寸的Gopher隧道内诱饵。为了诱饵，您需要知道隧道的发展方向。

探测土墩开口处以找出Gopher Dug的方式。

一个简单的开始是看丘itself. It’s generally a rough horseshoe shape.

As the gopher digs into the ground he pushed the dirt up behind him, creating the semi-circle shape. The “open” end of the shape is almost always the direction the tunnel is headed.

您如何应用颗粒状诱饵？

You’ll need a long stick of some kind to poke a hole down into the tunnel (a piece of rebar works great). Pour the granules down the hole into the tunnel, then cover the hole back up.

另外，覆盖隧道本身的开口。这将促使Gopher先生来调查并尝试重新开放。在此过程中，他会发现诱饵。

如果您有类似的诱饵涂抹器这个,这个, or这个you can use the long rod on them to make the hole into the tunnel, then deposit the bait through the applicator.

同样，覆盖您刚刚制造的孔以及隧道的主要开口。

您如何应用块诱饵？

The first, and easiest way, to bait the mound is to shove a piece of bait as far into the mound as you can. Use a stick, or piece of rebar, to shove it back in there. Then cover the opening in the mound.

The second way will require a shovel. Blocks are usually too big to shove down a hole in the ground so you’ll need to dig down to the gopher’s tunnel to put the bait block in it.

再一次，掩盖您刚刚制造的洞以及土墩中的主要开口。

Should you treat every mound?

Yes.

Gophers aresolitary creatures除了在交配季节期间，但这里可以多达60英亩的土地。

You need to bait every mound, whether it looks old or new. It’s the only way to be sure.
