I found this blurb in the USAir Gift Catalog ("This catalog is yours to
keep.  Please take it with you!") recently.  Quoted without permission:

     Prevent damage to garden and lawns from burrowing rodents with
     Gopher-It, the electronic stake that emits vibration and sound
     that's intensely annoying to underground rodents up to 100 feet in
     diameter.

     Requires 4 "D" batteries, not included.

     #26284 Gopher-It $49.95 (3.95)

I suppose for rodents of greater than 100 feet in diameter you need the
nuclear powered version.
