Monterey LG 9250 Gopher Bait, Brown

It works killing gopher, easy to use, never touch the product once in gopher hole, or the gopher. Pros. Use it.

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!

Did not really seem to work

Looks like coated radish seeds. Not sure why a gopher would eat them? But they do! Put the seeds as deep as possible into the hole (I use chopsticks taped to a plastic spoon) then back it up with a Qualirey trap—this combo has eliminated (for at least 3 months) my gopher problems. Yeah, I know, they return every season-there is no permanent solution.

Easy to apply, but uncertain it works. After first application there was zero gopher activity for 2 plus weeks. I thought this stuff was great. However, the gopher or another gopher returned to same area and rained havoc in an area with about a dozen shrubs. Weeks have gone by with dropping more poison pellets in many tunnels but to no avail. Some of the shrubs are not looking healthy at this point. Not sure what to recommend, but if you have a gopher issue, if like me, will try anything with the hope of success. Guessing if they take the bait they will be "finished" but the roots of your plants are probably a more appealing food source.
