Study shows underground pests can be eliminated quickly Homeowners are discovering an easy and humane way to defend their property against frustrating underground pests. A variety of underground pests invade homeowner and farm properties each day across the United States, presenting a frustrating dilemma to those besieged with moles, gophers, voles, groundhogs (woodchucks), rats, chipmunks, ground squirrels, skunks, muskrats, armadillos, prairie dogs and snakes. Now, the balance of power in these rodent wars has shifted with the development of a safe, effective and humane solution to help homeowners defend their properties. A study done by a U.S. veterinary organization found that gasoline engine exhaust kills rodents, "in five to seven minutes without pain or discomfort." Taking advantage of this new information, a patented product, the Underground Exterminator, releases pressurized, odorless carbon monoxide fumes into the underground burrows of these pests to quickly and permanently put them to sleep. With poison and traps, a rodent needs to discover them and even then, they often avoid consumption or contact. Another method, gas bombs, is sulfur-based and has a strong odor from which rodents will run. This cone-shaped device, made of high-density, heat-resistant rubber, easily connects a garden hose to the exhaust pipe of your car, truck or tractor. The other end of the hose is inserted into the pest's burrow and the vehicle is then started. The unique shape of the unit protects the hose and maximizes pressure through the hose to ensure the burrow is extensively penetrated while running the vehicle for 15 to 30 minutes to solve the problem. This solution eliminates more than one pest at a time and can be reused every year, without poisoning other wildlife. "I watched my yard being destroyed by underground rodents," says Kevin Squire, owner of Danville Hardware in California. "I tried everything in my store and nothing worked until I used this creative device." Homeowners are finding this solution at national hardware chains for under $15 - True Value, Do-It-Best, and ACE - by bringing this article to their local hardware store.
