The boxes stopped all invaders! "Peaceful Valley" know the individuals who construct them beautifully,on site. Good luck and happy gophering!

I don't think it is effective and can be tough for people to administer. If you only have a small area to protect the gopher wire works pretty good. I prefer the trapping method. You completely remove the gophers from your property this way. I am not a fan of the gassing method. I don’t think it is effective and can be tough for people to administer.
