[AT] Got Woodchuck Pills?

[Louis]

When we had some extra time on the farm; we used to fill up a 500 gallon
tank and flood the holes.  We did it during the heat of the day, since
the woodchucks were most likely to be in their holes at that time.  It
was like taking candy from a baby.  They would come out of their holes
and we would blast them with a 12 gauge.  We also had other methods that
were very effective, but I won't expand on them, since the item we used
is no longer available and not labeled for rodent control.

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
