I use the above trap all the time for Northern Pocket Gophers, which are subterranean, nocturnal rodents that rarely come above ground. The bait is the light - particularly moonlight - coming in through the single small hole in the end.

For Richardson Ground Squirrels - aka the common gopher and the rodent we are talking about here - a different trap, open on two sides and placed directly over a hole, is more effective. A little bit of greenery for bait doesn't hurt.

Or, a killer Golden Retriever like Abby:
