OMG.. I want/NEED one of those!!!!

I've been fighting gophers for 5 years on my property here. They've killed my Blue Agaves, my barrel cacti, my Aloe Veras, and 5-6 other exotic plants I had in the backyard... all dead due to gophers. They've dug up my landscaping, ruined my lawn, and won't go away!!!!.. evil critters!!!

I've tried poison gas, poison pellets, traps, water flooding, and nothing gets rid of them.

I'll have to see if I can pick up one cheap on ebay or something.

It's a gas and oxy mixture. I thought a weed flamer would do the trick- flood a bunch of propane intot the burrow system, light the torch then touch off the tunnel entrance.

tried it- doesn't work.

I've had luck here just by flooding, but our soils are so shallow- you have sand to CHina,so burrows are probably much more exxtensive.

Many a time I've flooded burrows only to wiotness a gopher come up on the surface. At that point you can easily chase them down and whack 'em. Not a fast critter at all.


As far as the best trap, I think this is it

Supposedly ,they're solitary as adults, so a specific tunnel system will have jjust one occupant.

I never knew gophers where such a pest. We've never had any problems at my parents property.

We have a 7 foot gopher snake living under our front yard cacti, so no gophers here! I gotta have a Rodenator ball cap though.

Does it use a blast of air? Cause if so...imagine what those large pumpkin shooters could do!

The snakes take care of our rodent problems.

I believe it shoots oxygen and propane into the ground then ignites it.
