  A note from crittergetter:  
"Engine exhaust has been found to be 90% effective in the treatment for gopher control ¹. Yes, this may sound like an odd and implausible idea, however before navigating away to another page, please consider these facts:

Carbon Monoxide gas is toxic
Destructive, burrowing creatures live in a confined space
The Crittergetter helps to deliver this fast moving, burrow end reaching, Carbon Monoxide gas into this confined space
...the end result is really not much of a mystery

The use of engine exhaust as an abatement technique is not a new idea. Many folks have been successfully using this abatement technique for decades with a far from perfected, inefficient mish-mash of incompatible parts.
Almost 1000 units sold via the internet over the past 2 ½ years to individuals treating not just gophers but also mole control, vole control, chipmunk control, etc with a good deal of positive feedback and only one return.

A note from the Crittergetter creator:
I created the Crittergetter because I needed a tool that worked when next to nothing else would. I tried many different types of both humane and inhumane abatement techniques and items to no avail. If there were any way to remove these animals from my yard without harming them, I would have done so. Personally, I do not have a problem with these creatures and I honestly actually admire their ingenuity – so long as they do their thing somewhere else other than my yard.
