- Manufacturers and distributors considering a gopher-control product
- Worth noticing
- The site lists Patent #12,096,763 and includes a 3D viewer; the extracted text does not explain the panels’ installation or operation.
Field notes
The page frames the invention as an alternative to poisons, traps, and chicken wire, and names Stan Kain as a landscaper and DIY problem-solver who developed it. It lists a patent number and says the engineering and patent work is complete, but those statements and the product’s effectiveness are not independently verified by the supplied evidence. The navigation also links to a 3D viewer, gallery, and blog.
