If you don't like vanilla ice cream, you can use chocolate instead. This will create the base for your milkshake. You can use any type of milk: non-fat, 2%, or whole milk. If you'd like a thinner milkshake, you can use up to cup (120 milliliters) of milk. Try to use the smooth, creamy kind and not the chunky kind. It will be easier to blend and give you a smoother milkshake in the end. There should be no streaks or swirls of unmixed ingredients. If the blender isn't blending smoothly enough, pause it, and use a rubber spatula to push any unmixed milkshake down the sides. If you'd like, you can garnish it with a generous swirl of whipped cream and drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top.

Summary: Measure out 2 cups (288 grams) of vanilla ice cream into a blender. Pour in cup (60 milliliters) of milk. Top it off with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of peanut butter. Close the blender and blend until everything is smooth and evenly mixed together. Pour the milkshake into one or two tall glasses and serve it immediately.

They may also be labeled as gopher flares. They fill the tunnels with a mixture of propane and oxygen. This kills the gophers. Buy a few, and read the instructions included, as each brand might be a little different. Insert the flare into the tunnel and wait. Burrow blasters/detonators will also work on: badgers, ground hogs, ground squirrels, moles, pocket gophers, prairie dogs, voles, and other burrowing animals. Cover all of the holes up with soil except for one. Stick one end of a garden hose into the end of your car's exhaust pipe, and the other end of the hose into the remaining tunnel. Turn your car on for about 15 to 30 minutes. The hose will flood the tunnel with poisonous carbon monoxide. When a gopher eats the poison, its body will keep that poison. This means that if your cat or dog eats the dead gopher, he or she will get poisoned as well. Because of this, you might want to stay away from poisons containing strychnine. Instead, go for anticoagulants instead. They will cause internal bleeding in the gopher, but won't make the corpse toxic. Keep all poisons away from children and other animals. Consider other methods if you have pets at home. Always wash your hands after handling the poison. To use a Warfarin type bait / pellet poison, you poke down about 1 foot (0.3m) from a recent dirt mound to find a tunnel. Gently open a small hole, pour some pellets in, cover the hole without collapsing the tunnel. This may not work for your situation, but if you've tried other avenues without success, consider it. Keep in mind that, depending on how deep the tunnels are, your yard could get very muddy. Cover up most of the gopher holes, and stick the end of a garden hose into a tunnel. Let the water run for up to 30 minutes. Kill or trap any escaping gophers. Make sure that you are indeed dealing with gophers. Ground moles love the damp. If you have ground moles and flood you are flooding the tunnel, you'll only make your yard more inviting. Many homeowners find that the Juicy Fruit brand works quite well, although there is no scientific research as to why. Put on a pair of latex gloves first, so that your scent doesn't get on the gum. Unwrap the gum and drop it into the gopher hole. The gopher will eat it and die in its burrow. This can be as simple as letting your cat or dog out into the yard. Keep in mind, however, that this also depends on the predator's hunting ability and willingness to hunt. Not all cats and dogs will get gophers, and their smell alone won't always help. You need a dedicated and skilled cat or dog. If you have a cat who can catch and kill gophers, you are in luck. As for dogs, some dogs you'd never think were ratters can be very good. But if you want to be sure you're adopting a dog who'll hunt gophers, try to get two Jack Russell Terriers (both should be altered to prevent puppies). Two terriers will tag team a gopher. They'll wait on opposite sides of a hole, and when the gopher emerges one or the other will get it. If you have a friend with JRT's and your yard is fenced and dog-escape-proof, you can ask to borrow them, too. Set up some owl boxes in trees to invite owls into your yard. The owls will prey upon the gophers. You might not want to do this, however, if you have small dogs or cats. Buy some non-venomous snakes and set them loose in your yard. Keep in mind that it may take up to a month for the snake to clear our your yard. If you have a very big gopher problem, consider getting two snakes. Get a gopher snake with caution. While a gopher snakes are not considered to be venomous, they may still hurt a cat or smaller dog. A professional exterminator can use Aluminum Phosphide, which reacts with moisture in the air and soil to produce fast-acting highly toxic phosphine gas. There is no residual poison, and there is no secondary poisoning. If your pet digs up and eats the gopher carcass, there is not a chance that your pet will get poisoned. This is the most expensive option, but many exterminating companies offer guarantees.

Summary: Use gopher burrow blasters or detonators to smoke them out. Gas them using your car's exhaust. Use poisons with care, especially if you have pets. Try using a garden hose to flood the gopher tunnel with water. Try leaving some fruit-flavored gum or other soft, chewy candy in their tunnels. Release a predator. Hire a professional.

Sometimes when you're nervous, your tone might come off a little odd, so practice speaking kindly to others. Smile when you speak to show you're open to talking and to make others feel more comfortable. Also be aware of your body language. Crossed arms or slumped shoulders indicate being unapproachable; try to keep your arms at your sides and avoid staring at the ground. Try to not cross your arms across your chest, as that can make you look angry and closed off. Instead, keep your arms at your sides, if you can, and be conscious of your shoulderskeep them back and relaxed rather than hunched up around your ears. Looking up and forward also exudes confidence, as opposed to keeping your head down, which can make you look nervous and shy. Even if you don't feel confident and are nervous about talking to others, try faking it with your body languageyou may be surprised at how much your body language impacts your attitude. The main thing to remember is that you want your attention to be directed at the person, and not at your phone or anything else surrounding you. It's okay if you glance away and break eye contact once in a while, but in general, try to watch the other person as much as you can. Definitely keep your phone put away when you're talking to someone. Notifications, texts, and incoming calls will distract both you and the person you're talking to. There's a balance between not looking someone in the eye at all and staring them down and making them uncomfortabletry to nod, smile, and look away from time to time to look more natural. If you're speaking with a larger group of people, make sure your voice is loud enough to be heard by everybody. But if you're in a more intimate setting, like a restaurant or a small party, keep your voice low enough so as to not distract others. For example, if you're at a loud restaurant, rather than shouting to be heard and adding to the noise, lean in closer to your companion so you can hear each other better.
Summary: Maintain a friendly tone to show you're interested in the conversation. Practice open body language to appear more approachable. Make eye contact to let the other person know you're engaged. Match your speaking volume to the setting to maintain privacy.
