Gophinator Gopher Traps: thegophinator.com/onlinestore.html. The gopher trap is often too large for young gophers, so it may be best to have a pair of the Mole traps as well, for smaller gopher tunnels. They should be bought in pairs and I just tie them together with a cord.
Black Hole Gopher Traps: amzn.to/2VG0eBf. I've done very well with these, and they used to be my go to. Still useful for single tunnel sets.
