Gopher Control proven to be 90% Effective
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The Crittergetter provides a gopher control technique that has been used successfully throughout the U.S. by savvy farmers and homeowners for decades. A report performed by the University of Nebraska for the U.S. department of Agriculture has proven this abatement method to be 90% effective for the elimination of gophers. A link to this document can be found here: www.crittergett... - Page B-25. The Crittergetter uses a proactive rather than reactive abatement technique that is safe for use around both children and pets.
The smile fades when you realize that you own a Nissan Leaf...
The method I used was a pack of 20 cigarettes. Sat next to the hole blowing the smoke down the entrance to the tunnel. It didn't work though. Turned out it wasn't even a gopher hole, just a drain pipe. I live in the UK and we don't have gophers. Hope it helps.
Genuinely the best comment I've ever read.
😆😆😆😆
bought this and the damn moles waited till I went inside then pushed the hose in my front door .. thought I was a gonner
Arnulfo Aguirre jr where’d you buy if from? I’m trying to find it.
😂😂😂😂😂
You're welcome and I'm glad you brought up the issue because I just purchased Crittergetter's 150' hose system to use at a customer's house where I do misc. jobs. He has all kinds of holes all over the property so, I'm anticipating having to do the same thing.
I just poured a quart of vinegar followed by a quart of bleach down the hole, and covered the opening. The chlorine gas does the rest.
I bought one once! thats how I got gophers in my exaust.😂
did they get in your engine and set up a nest there
@@punker4Real how the heck did a gopher survive carbon monoxide getting thrown at them
@cklimen I've been doing this for 20 years. Took a old 100 foot section of 4in. fire hose,duct taped the leaks, and hooked it onto the exhaust of my Dodge dually with Cummins Diesel. Used it on digger squirrels that were tearing up my buddys almond orchard first. Then used it on gophers and moles in my own yard. Works like a charm.
They don't make the gophers that die stink?
Man vintage advert right here😔miss these days
If you have a LP gas bottle and or some sort of fish cooker, Disconnect the hose from whatever it is connected to. Take the bottle and hose and go to your gopher hole and stick the hose in and mound the dirt around the hose and open the valve on the tank to a low volume for about 15 or 20 minutes. Just make sure that you don't light a cigarette near the area. Thepest will be gone when you are done. It works. I have done it!
Cars run too clean nowadays I use my lawn mower yours great
I just bought the 150' hose version. I'll let you know how it works. There are plenty of people I know who need this service.
Well...did it work!?...
I'm on a 22 acre horse ranch right next to Malibu, Ca. called Malibu Creek Equestrian and we have a gopher problem. 100%! It might be easier to use this product because we have 2 diesel ATV's as well as our trucks so attaching a hose to the exhaust would be more universal. Tonight, the owner and I, used water to identify the main hole and the little sucker popped his head up for air. Philip was ready with his pump pellet rifle and... I think he got him. But for gophers they're hard to get!
Instructions unclear, my car doesnt have an exhaust and I still have moles...
Not all CO is turned to CO2 in a catalytic converter.. Vehicles pre 81 (introduction of the three-way converter) barely removed half (if that in some vehicles) Not even the newer cars can remove 100% of CO from expelling. Refer to the entire state of California if you are still confused.
Reading much of the comments- No one who said that they tried this has mentioned it was successful.
@noclouds111 - Make sure you have all the burrow openings closed or covered other than the opening you're fumigating. Voles typically have a lot of them (openings), some of which may be hard to see.
This method is extremely reliable. If it isn't working, there's an opening somewhere that's allowing the gas to escape. Keep with it, you'll get 'um!
This method of burrowing pest control is extremely effective. It is not, however, always easy.
Tiene por medio de una manguera gruesa y flexible, la manguera lay flat no funciona porque se dobla y no pasa el humo. También tienes que detectar que sea un túnel verdadero o principal ya que los topos bloquean los caminos secundarios y no permite el paso del gas.
@antknee420 Thank you for the challenge and causing me to revisit this information...almost had to break out the old Chemistry and Physiology textbooks because I almost couldn't recall that carboxyhemoglobin was called ...err ... carboxyhemoglobin!
Cheers! and thank you for the intelligent conversation!
Years ago I tried this with my shop vac hose and the heat from the exhaust melted the hose. I'll probably try it again with a flexible metal hose.
Only problem now is most new cars so clean the mole may get a mild headache, use this with something older than 1980 and leaded gas is you can still find it
@OttoTorrens Carbon monoxide is a gas so, unless your pet or child is sucking on the other end of the hose, its no more dangerous than if they were standing by a busy interesection watching cars go by.
No, it's not a rodenator - it costs about $1770 less and does not destroy your lawn, yard, crops, etc...
The Crittergetter does, however, use a method proven by the University of Nebraska to be up to 90% effective against gophers (report can be viewed on our site via the link found on gophercontrol(dot)us)
@cklimen Touche' good man! The argument ends here, thanks for an educated back and forth. A rarity for youtube.
@krazyhartin
Thanks! However, as I state on the site, this isn't my idea. Farmers and Landowners have been using this technique for decades. I just figured out how to make it available to anyone who might want to use it!
@cklimen im sure you can just a soft plastic pipe and just put the tightener on it so it will on any exhaust pipe
a plus- no need to find a place to dispose of or bury the carcass.
what if you splice in a couple of branch hoses and stuck em' in other locations?
@mysteryarchitectman You're right, any dope can figure out how to connect a garden hose to their car and ruin their catalytic converter and/or engine. Our product is matched to the exhaust pipe diameter - Don't be a dope!
@antknee420 True, there is less CO in diesel exhaust than found in gasoline exhaust, however, the sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are all present in high enough quantities to equally do the job.

@OttoTorrens
OK, This isn't rocket science. If the burrow opens under an area inhabited by people (children), pets, or livestock it shouldn't be used. If you're concerned either look or don't use it
The best way I found to do this is to revv the engine. With a high volume flow it floods the burrows with fumes before they block it off.
A bitty garden hose on a mower not so good.
I used a 650 c.c. motorcycle at 5000 rpm. You could see the grass moving on the escape tunnels. Stuff a rock in those.
LOL it says use gas or diesel
What about the gas line pipes underneath the lawn? Isn't dangerous to use this method?
Because Gophers, moles, voles, and other burrowing animals can cause thousands of dollars in repairs in minutes.. Americans spend millions a year to repair what this annoying critters have caused.
@antknee420 Regarding toxic residue; any CO (Carbon Monoxide) that is not converted to carboxyhemoglobin rapidly oxidizes to Carbon Dioxide because CO is highly unstable. There isn't any residual CO in the body because upon the creation of a high enough concentration of carboxyhemoglobin to become toxic, breathing (and therefore CO intake) stops.
"Where do they go mommy?"
@antknee420 Carbon Monoxide is not a poison in the classical sense as say Strychnine, Arsenic, or Cyanide. Carbon Monoxide is toxic because it displaces oxygen and causes asphyxiation while leaving zero toxic residue behind. Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen, the two most prevalent compounds found in engine exhaust, are also toxic in this same manner.
@dubldeka We have a "work around" for those smaller engine vehicles that can have heat issues with our stuff (some tractors, mowers, ATV's, etc...). Please send an email via the "Contact Us" link in the title-bar of our website CrittergetterOnline for more info.
I did this and then since the engine was nice and hot, I changed my oil. Looks like its not such a waste of gas since I need the engine warmed up anyways.
will this work on groundhog/wood chuck burrowing? these critters are leaving mound about 1 to 2feet wide in my yard and the dirt they burrow up stinks to high heaven (like a zoo!). The smell they leave in the burrow dirt drives my dogs crazy too. Also - will this product risk harm to my vehicle?
@JAG9100 at start up and idle, the catalytic converter is terribly inefficient. Under perfect conditions (appropriate temperature, new condition, perfect velocity, etc...), the catalytic converter is 70% to 90% efficient. Older converters and cool running engines even less so.
That small inefficiency is more than enough to take care of the job.
Go to your nearby hardware store and buy a length of aluminum flex line and a clamp,attach it to your garden tractor exaust,thats what I do.
2 stroker with too much oil seems to work just fine.
I agree, but the people that are going to use this likely don't own a Prius..lol
Can it fit to a lawn mower exhaust or would the connection melt with the heat
straight pipe a cummins on there and blow some coal
You really don't use much gas because you run your vehicle at idle and only for ten to fifteen minutes. The experts state it only takes four to six minutes to do the job... we like to err on the side of caution. Some animals (like moles) have very extensive burrows, so, if you're dealing with one of these critters go for the longer time period. Gophers, Groundhogs, Chipmunks, Prairie Dogs, & Ground Squirrels all have smaller, less intricate burrows that don't require as much time.
WITH MY LUCK ,THE GOLPHER WOULD CRAWL UP MY TUBE AND DESTROY MY ENGINE.
@mysteryarchitectman i would have to agree.... i wouldnt exactly use a garden hose but i have about 200 feet of that blue plastic hose for my pool drainning system laying around looks alot like the one showed here, and its slightly bigger that the diameter of most exhausts, i would just duct tape it to the exhaust or get a pvc attachement for like 1$
its a good invention dont get me wrong brilliant, but not exactly something some one with 5$ and brain couldnt do
Gee, couldn't I use my riding mower exhaust? It doesn't have a catalytic converter on it?
Most of my yard has been plowed up by moles. I haven't had much success with traps.
I don't think you can kill anything these days with ultra low emission vehicles... that's why you don't hear about people gassing thier selves anymore in the garage with a tube into the passenger compartment,,, all they get is a massive headache and nausea...
You can use a gun, and I have (take a look at the bottom of the home page at:Gophercontrol.us). However, with a gun, YOU have to wait for THEM. When you use the Crittergetter, you deal out gopher control on YOUR terms, not the gophers. Install the applicator, turn on the car/truck/tractor/mower/whatever, and do something constructive like paint the house, kiss the wife, or play with the kids.
How do you get them out afterwards, though?
@antknee420 From Wikipedia (search Carbon Monoxide) so you can verify my information: "(Carbon Monoxide)... It combines with hemoglobin to produce carboxyhemoglobin, which is ineffective for delivering oxygen to bodily tissues." hence my statement of "Carbon Monoxide is toxic because it displaces oxygen and causes asphyxiation" because that is how it works.
Does this thing actually work? because most cars on the road today have catalytic converters... that convert carbon "Monoxide" to carbon "Dioxide".
This is how Carole Baskin got her husband.
Get what you pay for. This will never kill squirrels. You’d have to spend 2hrs to get all t access points. I use the Cheetah portable CO machine works amazing. For gophers I use the gopher hawk trap which is by far the best ever.
I know the feeling. RUclips does that to you. ....you never know, this info might come in handy someday; for you or another.
Theres a dozen holes, won’t the exhaust escape?
Gopher pastor: "I now pronounce you husband and w....." NOT IF CRITTERGETTER HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
Ze vinyl Zolushun.... I made one and use it every year.
I tried this with my Tesla and i still have moles in my yard.
🤣🤣🤣
This is freaking awesome
No, it’s not
@cklimen so I cant figure out the exhaust diameter and make some sort of hose with the same diameter?
that is an insult to me and everyone who agrees with me.
this is a good idea
No exhaust pipe on my Nissan Leaf . . . . . . .
how can i purchase this product
If the verminator wasnt si expensive and seemingly dangerous.
are they still edible after capture? granny makes the best darn gopher gravy ever!
Great green gobs of greasy gopher guts...........
Unless the engine is ancient and unreliable it will stall out FAR before damage is done.
it contains carbon monoxide and still said 'no poison'?
"Well, I have been pushed. I think it's about time that somebody teach these varmints a little lesson about morality, and about what its like to be a decent upstanding member of a society." "Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts." Spackler from Caddyshack
@mrmepanda Excellent choice! However, you can't use it in town :(
So you tube was an advertisement platform even way back when
I killed 26 gophers in one summer using a trap consisting of three wooden beams arranged in a way that makes a tunnel(They liked the shade i suppose). My friend killed 25, using the same trap I was using, in the same summer. This method probably isn't as...clean, as some other methods. But they die quicker than being poisoned, at least.
I k ow this is a supper old reply. But could you post a video of this trap tunnel you are speaking of?
This is an other BS. Those gophers will come back after few days. I have tried everything. I HATE them
I have 4 outdoor wiener dogs that are lean (I feed them once a day) and they catch everything imaginable. I have zero moles. But I find their bodies randomly .
why would u waste gas for your car?
Ya know, one of the things your catalytic converter does is convert CO to CO2. It's why you have a that smog pump on the engine. This rig isn't killing with CO, it's killing with CO2. Since CO2 causes an autonomic response in humans I wonder what it does in little furry things. And is 90% enough?
@cimbomlovr1 gotta be heat resistant plastic as is used in our product or you'll end up with a melted mess!
I want to see some one "roll some coal"
@mysteryarchitectman I agree with you.
get--her-a-critter-getter
Not even remotely all CO is removed in the catalytic converter.
@Myaccountbastards The back pressure created using a pipe sized similarly to a garden hose is not good for the 'ol engine (it's actually terrible for your catalytic convertor, valves, and a whole host of other items associated with the modern engine). As we discuss in a side bar on our website CrittergetterOnline: "If the automakers could use pipes of smaller diameters for their exhaust systems, they would have done so long ago and saved themselves a great deal of money."
could just make your own...
@chamblizi A grenade would definitely be more fun, however, it would probably do a little more damage to your lawn than the critter would ;). Regarding "poisoning the earth", anybody who adds any sort of commercial fertilizer or pest control products to their lawn or garden are doing far greater harm than our product - The Carbon Monoxide quickly turns into Carbon Dioxide which is technically food for plants. The small amount of Hydrocarbons and other byproducts are nearly negligible.
@DuckingNDiving With the 22, unfortunately, you have to wait for one of the little buggers to show itself by which time it could have torn down half your garden. TNT, can you say "Caddyshack" ;) Draw back of both; can't use either of them in town!
They just leave through one of the other dozen holes in their network of tunnels.
Um I don't have a farm and I'm not struggling with Moles... WHY AM I WATCHING THIS!!
I agree with mysteryarchitectman, I could make a tube that would be just as effective and wouldn't have any ill effects on my engine or exhaust system for much less money.
But then again, I'd rather just use my rifle and get some target practice ^-^
its horrible, i laughed the whole way through... I'm neither for or against this i just found it morbidly funny
Made my own, ran the vehicle for 20 min the little bastards were back the next day!
no poison hahahaha
@shadowneko22 they ruin your yard insanely
car not included...
nice trick
Pure American way...
but wait there's more for a limited time offer we'll get you a mechanic at your door to remove your vehicle's exhaust. for 12 easy payments for $29.99.
I see you're not that up on how engines work.. Wouldn't case any damage at all.
@Rifter09 Ya I know. But its still sad.
@Nicholasdude187 it sure will! Haha that comment was epic and no one else seemed to get it :(
