I kinda did that once with a mouse. That little gap under the drywall sheet where your floor woodwork goes was not in yet, and a box was in the corner. One side of the corner was already up, so the opening just dead ended. I got a regular propane torch out, and pointed the nozzle into the hole and turned it in for a few seconds. Removed the torch and got the Bic out. A little “FOOF” happened, and the now singed mouse ran out of there like nobody’s business. The cat managed to get him right after.

[@mikekennedy4572]

My brother and I did something like this when we were kids and our parents had a house in the country, except we used our mom's hair spray which we sprayed for about half a minute at a time into a gopher tunnel opening. Then we stepped back, lit a match away from the opening and tossed it in the hole. It exploded with a loud "whump" sound, but nowhere near as loud as what this guy on the video did. We saw the dirt slightly lift up all along the path of the horizontal tunnel, then it collapsed slightly downward. We did it on about three or four gopher tunnels around the yard, but stayed away from the house just in case. Mom probably wondered why her hairspray was getting used up so fast.

[@robertramirez1621]

[@RubberDucky087]

When I worked as a mechanic for a private golf course we used to go out and clear gophers. We had a specially built system called the Gopher Getter that was oxy/propane, but it was attached to a nozzle with an igniter built right in. Had huge tanks attached to the back of a golf cart and wired it into the cart electrical system. We'd stuff the nozzle in the hole, drive and park about 50' away since that was how much hose we had and let it rip. Never had to get out of the cart. Good times.

[@Crackitify]

Even though this is 6 years ago. The reason for the delayed explosion is because the oxygen and propane around the steel wool needs to hit certain percentile ranges before it will actually ignite. Its better to use more propane then oxygen because you can always just wait. Also if you were using air not actually oxygen then u might wanna re think your ratios.

[@Crimsonedge1]

Not quite. You actually want more oxygen than fuel. The stoichiometric oxygen requirement for propane is 4.3:1 for maximum combustion and flame temperatures. The higher the temperature, the higher the gas expansion and in an explosion, its all about the volume of gas expansion.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Awesome video, but I prefer just a common road flare. Place it in the hole after lighting, cover the hole. Do not cover the other connecting holes, that way the poison gas flows out and into all of the tunnels. Any gopher that escapes out is dazed, confused and easily dispatched with a .22short or a pellet gun. Much quieter and neighbors don’t get all bent.

[@williamogilvie6909]

I did s similar thing every spring to push the gophers out of my yard. I pushed about 10 feet of half inch hose into the tunnel a nd poured a cup of gasoline down the hose, blowing the last bit out before pulling the hose out. Then I lit a gopher smoker and shoved it into the tunnel. I quickly sealed the tunnel with a couple of shovels of dirt. It takes about 30 Sec. for the gas to explode, blowing back to where the gophers come from.

[@bluesbrother6305]

Well, a few problems here. Did you calculate the 1 min of oxy-propane as you call it to cover the entire run of tunnels? Another helpful hint always use a neutral flame on the cutting torch for the best mix and lose the propane and get a bottle of good ole acetylene. The neutral flame on a good cutting tip or a rosebud running a little lean will produce the desired effect. You also need better igniter. I use 3 strands of fine copper wire and a black cat wrap the 3 strands around the fuse. Use several more extension cords and a 12-volt battery that's in fair condition. Walk off the tunnels and use 4" diameter average hole size to calculate the cubic feet.

[@Philscbx]

Dammit - I came for Fur & Flamage flying out of the hole. Truly - I've done simular on the farm 30 years ago at perimeter at edge of very large mowed yard of say 3 acres - of 160 farm. Using propane only, before safety valves were used to prevent full venting of open valve. To where full force of 350psi, typical propane pressure when full for all BBQ' use, but with regulator, 5psi. Here's what happened.. after inserting hose at full pressure deep in their dens. The dens can be up to 6ft deep for gophers. Test probes will prove it when steel probing rods suddenly freefall into a tunnel 5ft below the surface. Start the probing into the ground about 3ft from edge of gopher mound. It's quite obvious when you fine it. Using air line same dia of probing rod, shove airline as far as possible. Turn tank valve full on - at 350psi, you'll hear it ripping away down there. Usually their exit holes are stealth,, until set off. A week later,, though - The buggers simply moved further into the yard. Or they were cousins coming to visit, and you messed up their entertainment center. Good Luck.

Back up Chevy pick-up to area of gopher tunnels. Run hose from exhaust pipe of truck into opening of gopher tunnels. Turn on truck. Isn't that easier?

[@myopiniondoesntmatter8958]

I was just about to say the same thing.

[@stinkyfungus]

no, the exhaust contains carbon dioxide and heat in addition to carbon monoxide, burrowing mammals are extremely sensitive to carbon dioxide, and air temperature. the gopher will abandon the burrow before the CO can incapacitate and kill him, and he'll just dig somewhere else near by or head to a different burrow. you'd have to plug every burrow entrance and trap him in the burrow. because the gas used here contained oxygen, and the fuel gas unburnt is non toxic... the gopher wouldn't have tried to escape.

[@Joelontugs]

Dude right here been smoking joints and watching caddyshack all days lmao

[@ge0arc244]

Somewhere out there, Is a Gopher with PTSD! Freaking Out every time it's hears a hissing sound!

[@randalcopeland7893]

3:24 gopher distress call noise can be heard on approach.

Rip

[@afc358]

Anyone else wanna gopher a beer?

[@nickmendez3707]

Thats the most ghetto ass detonator iv seen in a long time. Personally I get those little things that are basically tiny lightbulb filaments, then I press them against a match head and dip in hot wax. After that you just need to connect it to an electric current eg. a battery and then you've got yourself a waterproof igniter.

If its stupid but works it isn't stupid.

[@skyemegakitty]

Until it doesn't. Or you fuck up. Which you eventually will because you're human. Playing the lottery is stupid and even a winner should be able to recognize it.

[@cadetrenew]

If you fuck up something as simple as that then its safe to say the method isn't stupid, you are.

[@MrOhgoodgolly]

Model rocket igniters work great with just a battery.

[@acorgiwithacrown467]

Unco Casey broken lamp works as well.

In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.

[@benvasilinda9729]

So he has the time to blow up gopher holes but no time to mow the lawn?

[@safetyinstructor]

The dislikers seem to be people who have never had moles or gophers in their gardens

Very surprised this didn't have a ton of Caddyshack replies already. Guess the younger generation hasn't experienced the classic. 😅

[@graememceachren1118]

CaptJLPicard92 Literally all I could think of! “A real Cinderella story”. But I too was surprised at the lack of immediate recognition of something apparently forgotten. BTW - good name - “Make it so, number 2!

The steel wool was not burning since car chargers have current limiting circuits in it. Next time try just a straight car battery.

[@Qui-9]

a1919akelbo it depends on the charger. If it's a trickle charger, maybe, but here are still plenty of old school chargers with no limiting circuitry, and even if there is, a 9 volt battery can ignite steel wool, and those don't supply much current. Most chargers regardless, put out a minimum of 2 to 10 amps, which is plenty to ignite a wad of steel fibres like what is used here. But steel doesn't make great connections either unless forced, or cleaned and oiled.

[@chaseviking5096]

a1919akelbo clearly you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

USE REAL FINE STEEL WOOL COAT WITH MARVEL MYSTERY OIL

Heres a better way, I have been doing it this way for years. You don't need the extension cord.. I use my medium size oxy / acetylene bottles and small cart. I use a #2 gas welding tip. One piece of 1/4" clear vinyl tubing. 10' long. And one 6' long.. I cut the long ones end so I can warm it up and fold it back so when I push it as far in the gofers tunnel it doesn't scoop dirt. I put a piece of tie wire in the tube (keeps the tube straight) makes it easy to push. As far as you can. The short one is the vent, . Put that in just far enough it doesn't get buried and then fill the hole . FUEL GAS Light the #2 gas welding tip. Adjust the flame to a loud hissing OXIDIZING flame (excess oxygen) . I use a wood block 2"x4"x6" to put out the flame. Push the long tube on the end of the #2 tip and let it flow. 4-5 minutes pick up the vent tube and take your striker, or lighter and hold it on the end of the vent and when it fills up and back out in the vent. I don't care where they are in that tunnel, the over pressure turns them in to jello. Propane will work, just be sure to adjust for a OXIDIZING FLAME super explosive.. Use what ever tubing that push fits on the torch tip you have. EASY Get rid of the electric cord, So ... GAS, OXY, WOOD BLOCK, LIGHTER, TUBING. SHOVEL. California we have goffers, you can tell they push up mounds . If you dig straight down and 12" to 18" down you can see the dirt is a different shade and soft, poke your finger in the wall of the hole open the tunnel put in the tubes and fill it back up. I blew open a tunnel that was 12" below the grass six feet long, made a 90° right angle turn went straght for 12',, four feet before the end it made a tee at 90° and went five feet and then a three finger wye. At that point the tunnels ended at just below the grass. No shit. You are the only other person who I have seen do this. Try it this way it is easy. Stomp down the back fill tighter the better.

This is why the gophers packed up and moved to the golf course.
