The short answer

You wake up one morning and seemingly overnight, your yard has become littered with basketball-sized mole mounds created by some very unwelcomed underground residents. Panic sets in as you think about all of the hard work that went into planting this year’s garden. Suddenly, you remember hearing something about a gopher blaster.

The gopher blaster seems quick, easy enough, and hey, who doesn’t like to blow stuff up? Your inner child is ecstatic. Hold your horses. Yeah, it may be a fun toy, but a gopher blaster can set you back a minimum of $1,000. Before breaking the bank, consider the hazards and make a smarter decision about how to solve your rodent problem.

What is a gopher blaster?

A gopher blaster is a device that mixes propane and oxygen together to dispense a gaseous mixture into a hole or tunnel. The gopher blaster then activates an electronic ignition that leads to an underground explosion, instantly expelling any rodents from their underground lairs.

More Hassle than it’s worth.

Inconsistent removal rate

Testing of the Gopher Blaster produced a success rate of 30-90% depending on the rodent and the numbers fluctuated everywhere in between. Do you have confidence in a product that delivers results only 30% of the time? We don’t. When you go with a seasoned professional, they will have a consistently high success rate every single time. Don’t chance it.

Do you really want more back-breaking work?

When the Gopher Blaster has done its job, you may have gotten rid of a few of the rodents, but you’ll also be left with dangerous holes in the ground and, quite frankly, an absolute mess of dirt and grass.

Blowing up the yard could blow up in your face, literally.

The Gopher Blaster’s dangerous mix of flammable gases can be harmful or even deadly if you find yourself too close to the hole when the ignition activates. Even being at a safe distance, potential hazards still loom. If your grass is too dry, the ignition can cause your lawn to go up in flames, putting you directly in harm’s way.
