How to Control Underground Rodents - Techie Farmer - 11-03-2025
Ever heard of the Rodenator Pro? It’s a professional pest control device used on farms, parks, and even golf courses. The tool works by pushing a mix of propane and oxygen gas into the burrows of pests like gophers, ground squirrels, and prairie dogs.
Once ignited, the gas creates a powerful underground blast that wipes out the pests instantly and collapses their tunnels, so they can’t come back.
This method has actually been used in real settings — including a 2009 Spokane Parks case that made the headlines. It’s often shown in field demos and training videos for pest control.
It’s effective, but definitely not a DIY tool. Since it involves explosive gases, it should only be handled by trained professionals.

I read that the Rodenator Pro is also used in golf courses to protect the turf. Those gophers can destroy an entire green overnight.

What I like is that it doesn’t rely on chemicals, so it’s safer for the environment when used properly.

Still, I’d be scared to handle it. Propane and oxygen? One wrong move and boom 😬

Some experts say it’s humane because the pressure wave is so fast that the animals die instantly before they even feel it.

You know farmers are serious when pest control looks like a mini military operation 😄. I like this
