Smoke Bomb for Ground Hogs

The Giant Destroyer

One way of getting rid of ground hogs is to smoke-bomb them. Besides eliminating ground hogs, the Giant Destroyer also works against chipmunks, gophers, ground squirrels, rabbits, moles, skunks, and other tunnel dwellers by releasing a sulfurous smoke that asphyxiates them in their burrows. Simply light the fuse, place the Destroyer lit end down in the hole entrance, and quickly cover the device and the hole with soil.

Naturally, for the Giant Destroyer to work, the target animal needs to be at home. You can determine this for ground hogs in any of three ways. First, ground hogs often have parasitic flies that live on them. The flies hop off and linger by the entrance when the ground hog enters its burrow, so if you see flies lingering by the entrance there's a good chance the animal is home. Second, if you see the animal and scare it into its burrow, you know it's home. And third, ground hogs are always home at night, but if you bomb them at night you should take along another person to hold the flashlight while you light the device and place it in the burrow.

We do not recommend using the Giant Destroyer if the ground hog's burrow is under a deck or shed or some other place where you would be in a confined space without easy egress when you use it, because if you fail to cover the burrow entrance with soil before the bomb lets go you might get some the smoke reserved for the ground hog. Under other circumstances (in open areas) this is not a significant concern.
