Richard Zarback says forwarded the following email from his buddy: "My parents have a major problem with gophers at their new house….. So my Dad bought this thing over the weekend!

"I haven't used it yet, but I can't wait! Check it out… It pumps propane and pure oxygen into the gopher holes for about 5 minutes… and then let's a spark go and all the gopher holes blow up, killing all the gophers!

"If anyone would like to bring up a twelver of Keystone Ice and help me out in the coming weeks…. Let me know! We'll drag the propane tank around their 4 acres blowing up gophers!"
