Any Body try this for Gopher control? I was surfing the net for how to control Pocket Gophers.And I came across this devise it's called PERC. Which stands for Pressurised Exhust Rodent Control.In thory Carbon Monoxide does kills. But,can it have a-nuff pressure put down long Gopher runs,and work? I trap Moles on the side for people,and mow a few lots.I was going to buy one of those Propane device for rodents,but in a resdential area you probably wind up in jail.They are just to loud! Well the place that sells them is called H&M Gopher Control or www.handmgophercontrol.com I just think this mite open another market to make money!!! Thanks Gary

You will have to rent the Movie CADDY SHACK and watch Bill Murry play a greenskeeper named Carl Spackler to find out if anything worked.

Last year in Utah a pest control guy poisoned two young girls with a Gas type fumigation to Mole tunnels. That being so recent and tragic sends up all kind of red Flags to me.

Thanks for the link West Ga.

I didn't read all of the link given but remember the fumigate was Fumitoxin which is a RUP here in Florida and if I want to buy it, it has to shipped into Florida, no one stocks it.

It is a pretty cut and dry the Pesticide Company messed up. Who takes the fall and for how much is still yet to be determined.

But back on track I think you are on dangerous ground. But if I was want try Carbon Monoxide poisoning I think I could make a machine to do it. The two major factors I see are Exhaust cooling and turbo fan to blow it in the hole.

I just re-read the website you gave, I also looked at your Location. I jumped to knock it, thinking it was for residential. Looks like it might work on Grain Fields in the open, But I wouldn't want to try it near people. BTW they are advertising Only 90% control with a yearly decrease of 66 %.
