WE had a gopher in the yard about a year. Tried every thing to catch the critter. Took a chance and bought the Cinch Gopher Trap. It is about 12 inched long. Check the Cinch youtube video for the best instructions. We caught the gopher the first nite we used it. Good luck it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 12" long x 4 1/2" wide. Jaws are about 2 1/4" each. It could have smaller jaws but it has done the job. Make sure you set the part that is pushed by the gopher so that it is sensitive. Watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQbZ4Z_3uXU -Good luck.

The opening is 3 inches wide by 3 3/4 high. I use sun flower bird seed for bait maybe a dog would not go after that. I catch mice, moles and chip monks. I have caught one squirrel in the 5 years I have used the trap.

Roughly 2" diameter (created by the vermin) thus allowing no need to stake the cinch trap's base... The small hole will prevent the cinch trap from submerging into the hole. Best to find a recently dug mound, then, remove the top soil of that mound to reveal the hole and make sure the hole is in a single direction and not connected thru a bypass tunnel. There's a YouTube video that demonstrats how to set the trap (search "setting a cinch trap"). And you're good to go!

Actually just measured. It is one inch. Sorry for the incorrect info. I do agree you shouldn't use this for mice or dwarf hamsters.

This Trap is: 6" x 6" x 16" I've caught 12 Rats of various sizes. It works for mice also.

L. Cleveland: The space between bars on this trap are one inch wide and 1/2 inch high on both sides and the bottom.

17.5 X5.5 X5.5 I had this trap for 10 years until a Racoon trashed it. The new trap seemed like the rods on the setting end were not ground down properly. Couldn't get the sensitivity set properly.

It is a small rang. I don't know where mine is right now but the radius couldn't be more than 5-6 inches. Works great but very hard (sometimes painful)to catch due to hard plastic.

Roughly 3/8th inch. When i first used it not only did i catch several keeper(4.5") blue claw crabs but i also caught 2 dozen minnows ranging in lengths from 1.5"-3". They are fat bodied minnows but not that fat. Each time i use it i usually bring up a decent amount of "by catch". I wouldn't suggest using it as a minnow trap but not sure where you are located but it may make a decent pin fish or spot tail trap if located gulf coast.

A large mature beagle will be significantly taller than the 15 inch height of the trap, and so it may be reluctant to go in. It may work if the dog is attracted to the bait, but I would look for something a bit larger.

Hi,Portion that sits in the hole is about 3" in diameter. I'll fill the walls of the critter's hole and pack the sides a bit to allow the trap to fit snug into the hole. I've found that if the hole is much wider, they can borrow around the trap. At the opening where the base of the trap sits, that's about 4 - 6" open. A lil unsightly, but once you trap the mole, you can repair that area easy enough along with whatever damage the mole caused. I hope that helps.

I believe this size trap is too big for mice. They either dont trip the bar or they slip through the mesh. Mine traps chipmunks successfully so I image it would trap like-sized rats.

I didn't realize that there were different sizes available. I've never used the ones that I ordered because I theorized that the traps were more designed for gophers.

I don't think this trap would be large enough. It might be usable for a copperhead size snake, maybe an inch or two in diameter and a couple feet long. Good luck!

About 1 1/2 inches square. i have caught lots of mice with them. Maybe people who have not had a good result with these traps have not been using the best bait. Wheat crackers and/or peanut butter work better than nuts for bait in my experience. I have occasionally caught two at once, a nice surprise.

...it's not very large, about 4"x6"x1" is my guess--mine is on the door to an outhouse in the woods and the mice simply don't like it...I am considering purchasing another one....

Best thing to remember is that about a 10 foot circle around the trap will have a lot of bugs traveling in it. I have mine about 20 feet down a path into the woods from the house and it works great.
