That would probably take care of my mosquito problem.
Does it get rid of moles? My yard is like a sponge.

He specializes in gophers, but hey, what's the difference? Have you tried calling him yet?

I used him last year and my yard still looks like it. Just like in the movie, I still have moles. :(
M'kay. What's the point exactly and where is this thing located?
Westinghouse used something like this at their former industrial transformer site in Trafford, Pennsylvania. It's long gone now. My cousin and I went fishing at a small pond near the facility in the evenings. I think the engineers delighted in firing that thing off when a bunch of kids were nearby. We'd hear a snap, then an immediate thunder clap. We just about jumped out of our skins!
Now, this was long ago, so I can't really say what the thing did, but I suspect it had something to do with testing the ability of transformers to pass a high-energy voltage spike to ground without doing any damage. Lightning doesn't have to hit a line to induce a spike. Just being nearby is enough. I think if it arced inside a transformer, it would eventually overheat and burn.
