It's "The Bomb" For Prairie Dog Extermination!
Even though the package directions don't specify that the Giant Destroyers are effective against Prairie dogs, they work incredibly well--if the vermin are IN the burrow. We had a very large population of prairie dogs on only three and a half acres, and tried various methods of extermination. Most of them were worthless, but the Giant Destroyer is amazing! They can also be used safely close to homes and other dwellings. I bought them the first time from a local farm and ranch supply store, and then I found them much cheaper online. If purchased from the right seller they cost half as much, and they are identical in content and quality to those bought in a retail store (at least in my region of the country). IMPORTANT: If the hole used by these destructive vermin opens up again, one of two scenarios has come into play: Either they had an escape "hatch" or other opening that let in fresh air, or a different prairie dog dug out the hole from above (burrows are "marked" by droppings around the mounds, and by this other prairie dogs know exactly where to dig). Care should be taken in the use of this product, especially the way I do it; I wait until the split second the cartridge itself begins to burn, then quickly insert it into the deepest part of the tunnel I can reach. For prairie dogs, that's usually where it makes a dogleg and goes deep into the ground. The reason I wait until the cartridge ignites is because the fuse is sometimes extinguished by loose dirt before the cartridge ignites. It can also be snuffed out by dirt shoveled on top to close off the opening, so I stuff newspapers into grocery bags beforehand. The second I insert the burning cartridge into the tunnel I grab a stuffed bag, push it into the opening and then shovel dirt on top. What I love most about the Giant Destroyers is they are very effective; secondly, you don't have to have a license to apply pesticides to buy and use them. If you take care not to breathe the smoke from the burning cartridge, they are harmless to humans and can be safely used by anyone who can read and follow directions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Gopher Getter!
This is a good product. The challenge is getting to the main living quarters of the burrows. I found many tunnels that had been dug. The best thing to do for me was to keep digging until I could determine that I was close enough to the main hole before setting the smoke bomb off, then cover the hole up to keep the smoke trapped in the tunnel. If you find yourself short of bombs you can always pour gasoline into the hole and light it off. You just have to be smart enough to put the gas can down somewhere away from the site of ignition before you strike the match. If in doubt of doing it this way......don't.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Finally a product that actually works!
We have had problems with moles over the past few years. We live in the country and our property is surrounded by a wildlife area. I have previously spent a small fortune trying to get rid of these pests. Not only were they ruining our yard, our dogs, if not watched constantly, would go digging after them. Between the dogs and moles, our yard was taking on the look of a small mine field. No matter what product I had previously tried, they kept coming back. Finally, I found The Giant Destroyer. At the first sign of their return, I used it as instructed. They are GONE! It's been over a month now and I have not seen any signs. Amazing product! Highly recommend!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Kills groundhogs
This product is the only remedy available to me for killing groundhogs who move into a burrow under a building next to my vegetable garden. Follow the package directions carefully and you will have success. However, you may have to repeat the treatment on a daily basis because they live as families and members may be away from home at the time you treat the burrow. Just check to see if any of the entrances have been re-opened. This is my second year of using this product and recommend it to anyone with a groundhog problem!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

They work if used properly
I bought these "Giant Destroyer" Gas Bombs for a gopher problem I had. These work well if used properly. I would recommend digging a hole big enough to place the entire gas bomb in without pressing the end against any obstructions. I would then plug the hole with a rock that fit snuggly inside the entrance of the hole then put dirt on top of the rock to seal the fumes inside. I will be buying more of these.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Product works great!
Have used this in the past with success to eliminate chip-munks. All you have to do is light the wick and stick down in the hole. Cover the hole entry so the smoke stays in the hole. I stick the small end of a glass soda bottle in the hole and push it in until it stops, this seals the hole entry. Sometimes you need more than one bottle as there may be more than one entry. .Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

it works
stay up wind - use an extended lighter like used to start barbecue charcoal. It burns really fast, gets very hot, be ready to cover the hole quickly. I had a mole that had been cross bread with Godzilla. This is the only thing that got him.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

gets rid of moles
I have a bad problem with moles. Don't want to use poison that could harm wildlife or get on the ground water. I use a 1/2" diameter rebar to punch a hole in the mole tunnel, light the fuse and place it in the hole. Works very good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Secret Weapon
Fun to use! It's like Mole warfare - only you never can tell how well it works - until later, when no moles or mole trails are seen. I understand how it is supposed to work, I would just recommend that when it kills a mole there is a small explosion!! Nothing big, just a few ounces of black power or something - and sparkles - lotsa sparkles!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Pests
Works really well.Just drop one down the hole of the pest that needs to go away.I also put A rag over the hole an seems to take care or the issue I have with the gray diggers that keep getting under the hood of my GMC YUKON an chewing wiring.Hopefully that will end that Issue.
