J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think the problem lies in the fact that it is very difficult to tell if a burrow or hole is unoccupied. Even of the holes are stunk out prior, this is still not 100% effective. What the outcome will be is anyones guess. Quote Link to post

Quite so, mate. And ye free to sell them. Free to buy them. Just god help ye if ye caught Using them. But this whole concept isn't About Pest Control, is it? Let's not even pretend to kid ourselves. No. This sort of shit just taps right in the spreadingly prevelant mind set we're seeing today. That same mindset which calls for a Pit Bull Terrier or close cross to be taken on a fox dig. Called a " Draw Dog " and used to 'control' a seventeen pound vixen, once she's been dug to - as 'The Boyz' stand round watching what the 65 pound of muscle driven teeth do to that cat sized creature. Their mouths open. Faces hot. Trousers tented ..... Mobile phones recording everything; For more private veiwing, in their bedrooms later that night. Tissues to hand. Or the guys who 'Have To' use the heaviest rounds at the highest velocity to kill a fox or even a rabbit. Then they'll bring us close pictures of the ragged neck stump and perhaps a stray eyeball. 'For Ballistic Review Purposes', ye understnd 'Ballistics!' Who the f*ck is That shit meant to kid? And now inadaquette little mens ego's are being deprived of the oppertunity to " Blow Up " small mammals in their holes? Well, f*ck me! That's a crying shame! Just have to buy the latest " Exploding Varmints " DVD to aid their 'self gratification', won't they? Me too, mate. I'll stick to using my wrist for a swift and humane despatch. I'll use the gun to get the job done. And I won't even go after what I can't humanely despatch myself, without the aid of a big, " Pit Bull " type Dog at hand. Penis by proxy. Quote Link to post

Since then one of the farms I work has bought one. No way will the operater get safely into the awkward thickets or onto those tricky cliffs and the problem is going to move away from the easily worked buries (because they will all be smashed) into places difficult to deal with.These surviving bunnies will still have plenty of grass and crops to eat and may well thrive. Can you really see the average guy with the best will in the world actually bothering to "flush" a burrow in the prescribed way.Might as well ferret it conventionally.Sure ,rats will sometimes shift at the wriggle of a stick but with no tunnels to return to they are then simply going to go into someones barn or drain etc . Sadly it's going to take an accident ........ Quote Link to post
heart of wales 19 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 They way it was explained to me ,first of all you need a fair bit of room in your truck to carry the propane gas bottle and oxygen bottle and the mixers and the lance. Then you drive along to your target mole hills release the mixture then ignite and blow the molehills up You then proceed to charge for that visit ???? What if which is likely the mole is not in the run at the time of take off ?????????? you go back the next day re charge and blow it up again Iam thinking if someone come to my meadow field started blowing it up more than once plus driving with two waking great f cking bottles in the back and all his kit he would be making more f cking mess than the mole From my reaction you can see I ordered two Quote Link to post

comanche 3,098 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Been thinking ( Blowing moles out of the ground with a proxy penis is'nt an image I relished.) about this. I mean I've seen one of these things in a barn.some of you've seen em demonstrated and I guess we've all heard "things " about em. Certainly I've no interest in using one.However, maybe someone who actually uses/has used one on a daily basis could put a post up. Without fear of a slagging. Just an idea. Quote Link to post
