[AT] Got Woodchuck Pills?

We've got one here in Sask. called the"gophinator". Uses anhydrous ammonia.

The Gophinator is Back
Three years ago, a farmer invention called the gophinator was kicked out of
the new inventions area of the Farm Progress Show in Regina. The Regina
Humane Society blew the whistle on the device, since anhydrous ammonia
fertilizer is not registered as a pest control product. The inventors are
the Maze family of Cutknife and they�ve been fighting red tape ever since.
They�re still working on getting anhydrous accepted for gopher control, but
in the meantime, they�ve found there�s no law preventing them from building,
displaying and selling the machine. It�s just a portable anhydrous tank with
a hose and a wand for putting anhydrous down gopher holes. Anhydrous ammonia
is a common nitrogen fertilizer. Farmers work with it all the time. Using it
down gopher holes is safer and more effective than poisons like strychnine.
The Maze family says there�s a huge demand for their gophinator and they�re
happy to be back at the Farm Progress Show. It�s just unfortunate that the
Pest Management Regulatory Agency in Ottawa is still bungling along,
unwilling to officially accept anhydrous ammonia for gopher control. I�m
