With a 4-pound bait capacity and precision machined tip, it delivers poison bait directly into gopher tunnels quickly and efficiently — no digging, no fumigating, no guesswork. Built for commercial pest control operators, farmers, ranchers, and homeowners dealing with persistent gopher damage. Part of the Rugged Ranch family of professional pest control products — trusted for over 15 years and stocked in farm stores and retail outlets nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Gopher Prod work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gopher Prod works by probing the ground to locate active gopher tunnels, then dispensing poison bait directly into the tunnel system through its machined steel tip. Push the prod into the ground at a 45-degree angle near fresh gopher mounds until you feel the tip break through into a tunnel (you'll feel a distinct drop). Then squeeze the handle to release a measured dose of bait. The gophers encounter the bait during their normal tunnel travel. One fill covers dozens of tunnel treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy use a bait applicator instead of traps or fumigation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGopher traps require digging up tunnels, setting the trap, covering it, and checking daily — for every single tunnel on your property. Fumigation with smoke bombs or gas cartridges is unreliable because gophers can seal off tunnel sections. A bait applicator lets you treat an entire gopher tunnel system in minutes by walking across the affected area and probing every few feet. For large properties — farms, ranches, golf courses, vineyards, orchards — it's the only practical solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Commercial Gopher Prod different from cheaper applicators?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Commercial Gopher Prod features a solid machined steel tip that penetrates hard, rocky, and clay soils where cheap stamped-metal tips bend or break. Its 4-pound bait capacity means fewer refills across large treatment areas. The heavy-duty construction is built for daily commercial use, not occasional homeowner jobs. If you're managing gophers on more than a small yard, this is the tool professionals use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBait capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision machined steel for hard soil penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Commercial-grade steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor — lawns, farms, ranches, orchards, golf courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with standard gopher poison baits (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Commercial Gopher Prod bait applicator, fully assembled and ready to use.
