Focus on Easy Gopher and Mole Control Without Poisons
The Cinch Gopher and mole trap is what makes easy gopher and mole trapping possible. There is no other trap on the market as effective! Be sure to buy origional Cinch traps made in the USA. The copies made in China do not have the same action or quality nor do they support our economy. The kits I sell have everything you need to be a successful gopher or mole trapper. If you are not successful I will coach you by phone until you are. I train individuals, city and county mainenance workers, farm and vineyard workers, landscapers anyone who needs to control gophers and moles without poisons!

New Product! Dura Poly Live Catch Animal Trap with Positive ID view Window
The most humane, safe and convienent live trap for larger animals such as raccoons, skunks, opossum, feral cats, basically any midsized animals. I use this trap for skunks, possum, raccoon and all medium animals. It comes in two sizes, one a 9" x 9" and the other a 12" x 12". The trap is probably the most humane I have ever used as the captured animal seems comfortable and secure and if you add a little bedding it is even better. Transport and release is very easy, rarely does a skunk spray and the trap is easy to clean. If you must euthanize due to a sick animal or state regulations, the trap is a good chamber for that process, again not frightening the animal. I install a clear plexiglass window on the top of the closed end for positive identification of catch. You can not get this view window anywhere else, so I do charge a little extra for the installation
