Got rid of the Gopher.

I had had gophers in the past and have not had a lot of success.
This guy showed up in my front yard about a month ago.

What I did was ... a trip to the auto parts store and bought a hand full of road side
emergency flares.

The critter came up with a new mound and hole. I stuffed two flares in the hole. Covered it up and then I saw smoke coming out of another hole. I stuffed another flare in that hole, covered it up and watched.
The gopher tried to come up for air and I watched the dirt starting to bubble up about
15 feet from the flared insertion. My round nose shovel flinged the gopher up and I got the vermin with my shovel.

Not saying it is the solution but it worked for me.
