My neighbor up north as one of these. 

It really does work well. 

It draws a crowd of observers too. 

Boom!

 That's what I thought when I sent the link to mission control. Be a good weekend gig.... and fun to-boot.  ;)

 She spent so much time and effort going after an underground manacing critter eating all of her bulbs and plant roots. I suggested sitting on the rear deck with a six pack and a shotgun.... didn't go over so well. ::)  I sent the link home and figured one be on order by the time I got home from work.

If Toolman hasn't already pulled the trigger on the purchase I'm sure he will after watching this video

 Yea... I wish....
 I just read through the entire business opportunity and had a good chuckle.

 I could also just imagine what would happen lighting that thing off anywere near town. Swat teams, bomb squad personel and Sheriff airships would swarm the area in minutes. Step away from the explosive device and lay on your belly, cross your legs while multiple AR's MP5's and maybe a Barrett 416 staring at you.

 

 I see one fault with this product that I recommend Mike not renting this device. There is no timer on the gas mixture other than by guess or by golly. The user instructions includes a list of suggested times, depending on soil composition and estimated tunnel length for proper mixture. The fuel mixture timer is the operator using a time peice... stop watch etc. then after xxx seconds the operator shuts of the fuel mixture.

 I could imagine someone leaving the gas on to long thinking if some is good...more is better... KA-BOOM. There should be a timer setting function that would possibly make it stupid proof.  ::)

And we all know you can't fix.....

I noticed they offered a newer version that was unmanned via remote control.
Now that takes a lot of the fun out of it.  :)

I can see it now.  Someone uses it and the rodent has a hole into the leach system.  Gas goes through the leach system into the septic tank and then back into the plumbing under the house.

What a mess!.  House would still be on the foundation but there wouldn't be a servicable sewer pipe on the property!

It would be better than watching the proverbial substance hitting a fan!  And a lot more expensive.

Better have Wayne's Pumping phone number on hand!

The good ol' gopher trap still works.  ;D  This fat little gopher has been terrorizing my garden for the last month.  He finally left me a nice hole to put the trap in last night and that's all it took.  :2thumbsup: I'm still amazed how much damage one of these little critters can do.  My garden was starting to look like a land mine field.

You people have definitely advanced to another dimension.  :f_ufo:

I think I'll just use repellents and grow stuff the critters don't like.
