Gopher grabbers use rubber suction cups held on with sheet metal
screws. I have some that have the screws pulled out. The hole that
the screw goes into is now too big to hold the screw.

What can I use to fill in the hole so that it can hold the screw
again? Thank you in advance for all replies.

grimey gopher guts" I imagine my cat saying; "That sounds REALLY,
REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

Use bolt/nut instead of screw (assuming it's a thru hole)

Alternatively, perhaps pop rivet.

Or just go w/ larger screw size in existing hole

A washer won't fill in the hole, a machine screw and nut should do the
trick.

If it is a dead end hole. Fill with JB Weld and insert screw and let it set
up hard. WW

I'm interested in what type of trap you are speaking of.

Can you post a pic or a site where I can see this mechanism?

I use the $4 spring trap variety on pocket gophers here, and have gotten
quite good at trapping them.
