I also think "The Rodenators" would make a great name for a rock band...

Another good option... my 11-year-old son and his .22 down there in the park. Then it’s stew time.

Can’t they just get Bill Murray with a varmint rifle a la “Caddyshack”?

Kerosene and a firecracker worked pretty well too.

“It pumps propane and oxygen into the tunnels of squirrels, then sends an electric spark that causes an explosion. The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels.”

It’s been proven to work on Al Qaeda.

My response to a pesky gopher: 1. M-80 2. Large rock.

Light M-80 and drop down gopher hole, immediately placing large rock over opening. Within a few seconds M-80 detonates, and the sound and pressure wave propagates quite a ways through tunnels. If they are not rendered permanently deaf then they pretty quickly decide to relocate instead. Rarely has it taken more than two such actions for this to work.

Carl Spackler: "License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."

Thermobaric bombs. I'll bet that these cost less than the government version to develop. Yet another example of private enterprise at work.

That’s more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.

I use gasoline and a kitchen match.

1) Find holes.
2) Cover all but one with rocks or dirt.
3) Pour in gasoline or kerosene.
4) Wait a minute for fumes to penetrate burrows.
5) Stand back and throw match into open hole.
6) KA-BOOM. No more digging varmints.

The first time I tried it, I almost blew out one side of the pond bank.
