When you use this device on squirrel holes, you pump in a bit more mixture. When you ignite it, you can see the earth rise and fall in the pattern of the underground tunnels. It looks dope!
A good ol' waterhose is typically plenty to flood out a few gophers here and there. Just post up with a shovel and look for where the water is breaking the surface. Wet gophers can't move so well.
If you are seeing them breach on their own, consider investing in a small spring or pump-action pellet rifle - .177 or .22 should do you just fine for gophers and you should be nearly silent.
When I was growing up on the farm, I had a cat that would follow me around and when I'd flood out gophers, he's simply snap their necks and move on with me. If it were a slow day, he'd play with them a bit prior to ending their lives.
Oh, on a sidenote for traps - http://www.amazon.com/Various-Black-Hole-Gopher-Trap/dp/B000P9F1JQ has proven the most reliable time and time again for me.
I can't even begin to estimate the amount of gophers I've killed in my lifetime... Thousands...

Thanks, I'll order some of those. These are the ones I was using (with zero success)
