i was sitting here alone laughing out loud watching the video with the guy, the shepard and hose. that was good stuff.
i tried a single bomb late yesterday after posting this and unlike when placing traps the hole was not backfilled over night so it remains to be seen if it was effective. when the thing was running i did see it daylighting 7-8 feet away out another small vent hole which i promptly plugged up so that indicated the vapors are traveling the tunnels.
i too have used the posion pellets with little relief as well. spoke with my pops last night and he told me the farmer below his property uses a propane tank and rod to pump just the gas into the tunnel and has had some success this way. finds a tunnel, places the rod into it and pumps propane for 30-40 seconds. i may try this soon.
im reluctant to put much water into the tunnels as I believe they have made their way under the concrete patio which goes to the basement wall so the water will likely by pass the French drain that handles the lawn irrigation run off. I don't want to have water infiltration into the house by soaking the fill behind the wall.
ive got a few more bombs that I may blitzkrieg them with at a few different hole locations at the same time to see if that will work.
ill keep ya posted and may just have to try the water/dog/shovel whack approach...
