The war is about to get really fierce with the invention of the Gnome Trap.

Are you by any chance having a hard time fighting the garden gnomes and you are in search of a tool to help you in the battle for your home grounds? Have you lost many of your brave warriors in fierce clashes with the gnome hordes that seem to have infinite numbers? Well, raise your head and clasp the hilt of thy sword, for salvation is on its way: not land mines, but traps to hold those pesky gnomes in place until you'll bring a quick and unmerciful death upon their heads.

 

Now, this Gnome Trap is indeed silly and fun at the same time and it looks like it was intended for those who have already filled their gardens with dwarfs and want to add a touch of ridicule to their arrangements as well.

 

This garden decoration looks very much like a bear trap and it is made from steel; we don't know whether it is stainless – if it rusts in time, it will also infect your garden gnomes before crushing them. In the middle of the trap you'll not find some piece of honeycomb or some meat, like you'd be entitled to expect in the case of a bear trap; instead you get a small and shiny watering can. Given the fact that garden gnomes can’t resist watering cans, it's most likely that your trap will have a lot to catch...

 

The cost for such an aid in the battle against garden gnomes is under $35 per trap and you will also get a personal gnome you can of course push into the trap as you like. Now, there is only one more thing to all this battle. It’s very likely that these (French) guys (the Front  for the Liberation of French Garden Gnomes) will not be too happy to see the weapons you intend to use against garden gnomes, and it looks like there is going to be major trouble if one of the dwarfs is caught in your trap as he's fleeing from the battle grounds.

 

PS: "Fighting for the emancipation of the garden gnomes..." Sounds like someone has A LOT of spare time.
