PEARSON'S TUCO-TUCO (Ctenomys pearsoni): SPECIES ACCOUNT

Central and southern South America, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

That was some very smart research, ypu hit the nail on the head.
Reading the full writeups, the activities of these little ******** match mine exactly.
Our plan of action is now to use a vacuum cleaner on reverse to blow the very lethal insecticide into the tunnels leading out of the garden. If this does not work we will use plan B. This is a lot more fun. We flood the tunnels with gasoline vapour. Then with a long fuse(string soaked in kerosene) ignite it. I did this before with a very large Zompopo Ants nest. The explosion was spectacular and brought the neighbours running.

The Local's Spanish is so sloppy that passed from mouth to mouth Tuco can easily be Tuzo.
