    <description>&lt;h1&gt;GOPHER&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', Arial, Helvetica; color: rgb(51, 0, 153); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;Economics of Damage and Control&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p id="LinkTarget_4154" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;It is relatively easy to determine the value of the forage lost to pocket gophers. Botta’s pocket gophers at a density of 32 per acre (79/ha) decreased the forage yield by 25% on foothill rangelands in California, where the plants were nearly all annuals. Plains pocket gophers reduced forage yield on rangelands in western Nebraska by 21% to 49% on different range sites. Alfalfa yields in eastern Nebraska were reduced as much as 46% in dryland and 35% in irrigated alfalfa. Losses of 30% have been reported for hay meadows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;Calculating the cost of control operations is only slightly more complicated. However, the benefit-cost analysis of control is still not straightforward. More research data are needed on managing the recovery of forage productivity. For example, should range be fertilized, rested, or lightly grazed? Should gopher mounds on alfalfa be lightly harrowed? A study of northern pocket gopher control on range production in southern Alberta indicated that forage yields increased 16%, 3 months after treatment. The potential for complete yield recovery the first year following gopher removal has been noted for a fibrous-rooted variety of alfalfa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;Economic assessment should also be made to determine the cost of no control, the speed of pocket gopher infestation, and the costs associated with dulled or plugged mowing machinery or mechanical breakdowns caused by the mounds. Assessment could also be made for damages to buried cable, irrigation structures, trees, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;The benefits of pocket gophers also complicate the economic analysis. Some of these benefits are: (1) increased soil fertility by adding organic matter such as buried vegetation and fecal wastes; (2) increased soil aeration and decreased soil compaction; (3) increased water infiltration and thus decreased runoff; and (4) increased rate of soil formation by bringing subsoil material to the surface of the ground, subjecting it to weathering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;Decisions on whether or not to control gophers may be influenced by the animals’ benefits, which are long-term and not always readily recognized, and the damage they cause, which is obvious and sometimes substantial in the short-term. Landowners who are currently troubled by pocket gophers can gain tremendously by studying the gophers’ basic biology. They would gain economically by learning how to manage their systems with pocket gophers in mind, and aesthetically by understanding how this interesting animal “makes a living.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;The distribution of gophers makes it unlikely that control measures will threaten them with extinction. Local eradication may be desirable and cost-effective in some small areas with high-value items. On the other hand, it may be effective to simply reduce a population. There are also times when control is not cost-effective and therefore inadvisable. Complete control may upset the long-term integrity of ecosystems in a manner that we cannot possibly predict from our current knowledge of the structure and function of those systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

It feature a very strong wire frame with tighter mesh patterns and extra reinforcing steel rods welded to the frame for even greater strength. These traps have the same great design as our Original Series traps with stronger materials and more demanding specifications. Tighter mesh patterns not only give the trap additional strength, but also prevent critters from reaching into the trap and stealing bait, and reaching out of the trap and damaging lawns, roofs, decks, and other property. The easy release door allows for the easiest way to release trapped animals and to bait the trap.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;Size = 16" x 5" x 5"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;Grid Construction = ½" x ½"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;Gauge = 16&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;Weight = 5 lbs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;img src="http://maxcdn.nexternal.com/tjb/images/made_in_usa.jpg" align="left" border="5" width="260" height="164" /&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#1b762b" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;PROFESSIONAL TRAPS WITH REAR SLIDING DOORS&lt;br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;These are made with the same great design, materials, and specifications as our Professional Single Door Traps, with the addition of a convenient rear sliding door that allows for the easy baiting, and transferring of animals. The rear sliding door feature ultimately keeps the handler out of striking distance because he never has to get close to the trapped animal. It eliminates the need to reset the front trap door to release the animal. It also eliminates the need to reach all the way through the trap to position the bait beyond the trip pan. With a rear sliding door, the handler just unhooks the safety snap on the rear sliding door and pulls up on its handle. This is the easiest way to release a trapped animal, or bait a trap. &lt;br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#1b762b" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#1b762b" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;These traps feature a sturdy frame that is constructed of heavy 16 gauge galvanized steel wire mesh for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. An open fabric construction allows the animals to see through the trap in all directions and enter the trap with confidence. Galvanized steel rods are welded to the wire mesh frame for extra support and reinforcement. A spring loaded, automatic locking V-door, securely and safely traps the animal inside the trap immediately after the animal steps onto the trip pan, located at the back of the trap. Galvanized 1/2 by 1/2 inch wire mesh openings are welded to the bait areas to prevent animals from reaching through the outside of the trap. A super fast spring loaded door eliminates the chance of the animal backing out of the trap before the door springs shut and locks into place. The special locking system and the heavy reinforcement of the trap doors prohibits animals from forcing the door open, even if the animals manages to turn the trap upside down. This makes these traps perform well when trapping animals at any angle. &amp;nbsp;Traps are also equipped with an adjustable trigger release mechanism that allows for heavy or light sets. Most of these traps include a protective piece of galvanized sheet under the safety handle of the trap, to protect the trapper against scratches from the trapped animal.&amp;nbsp;T&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;strong aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;What Damage to Rats do? &lt;br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Rats cause a huge loss of food worldwide.

The rear sliding door feature ultimately keeps the handler out of striking distance because he never has to get close to the trapped animal. It eliminates the need to reset the front trap door to release the animal. It also eliminates the need to reach all the way through the trap to position the bait beyond the trip pan. With a rear sliding door, the handler just unhooks the safety snap on the rear sliding door and pulls up on its handle. This is the easiest way to release a trapped animal, or bait a trap. &lt;br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#1b762b" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#1b762b" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;These traps feature a sturdy frame that is constructed of heavy 12, 14, or 16 gauge galvanized steel wire mesh (depending upon model) for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. An open fabric construction allows the animals to see through the trap in all directions and enter the trap with confidence. Galvanized steel rods are welded to the wire mesh frame for extra support and reinforcement. A spring loaded, automatic locking V-door, securely and safely traps the animal inside the trap immediately after the animal steps onto the trip pan, located at the back of the trap. Galvanized 1/2 by 1/2 inch wire mesh openings are welded to the bait areas to prevent animals from reaching through the outside of the trap. A super fast spring loaded door eliminates the chance of the animal backing out of the trap before the door springs shut and locks into place. The special locking system and the heavy reinforcement of the trap doors prohibits animals from forcing the door open, even if the animals manages to turn the trap upside down. This makes these traps perform well when trapping animals at any angle. Deluxe Transfer Traps are also equipped with an adjustable trigger release mechanism that allows for heavy or light sets. Most of these traps include a protective piece of galvanized sheet under the safety handle of the trap, to protect the trapper against scratches from the trapped animal.&amp;nbsp;The deluxe single door traps a variety of different sized animals, ranging from rat to large dog.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VM8tlnQWDSY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;If storage space is a concern, Model 102 is also available as a collapsible trap, Model 201,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"&gt;&lt;font aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" color="#400080" size="2" face="Arial"&gt;Model 201, is&amp;nbsp;the most popular selling collapsible trap.
