A method for the extermination of burrowing vermin is disclosed. The method employs a smoke generating fluid formed of castor oil or castor oil in a mix with secondary components. The fluid is heated to a smoking temperature and the smoke is mixed with a pressurized airflow to communicate the smoke to the tunnels occupied by the burrowing vermin to remove them, and to leave a residue from the smoke which exudes an order deterring the re-occupancy of the tunnels.

A mintey mouse system for discouragement of rodent occupation. The mintey mouse assembly has an outer container and an inner volume. The outer container may have a lid, airflow ventilation, and anti-tipping feet. The airflow ventilation may allow the essential oil liquid vapors to diffuse into the ambient atmosphere. The inner volume may be structured and arranged to house a bottle and a bottle receptacle. The bottle may have a volume structured and arranged for containing and controllably diffusing a quantity of the essential oil liquid therefrom. The essential oil liquid may be peppermint oil, useful as a rodent deterrent. The lid may provide an opening to access the inner volume for replacing and alternately removing the bottle for refilling with the essential oil liquid.

Disclosed herein are new tunnel forming shanks and methods of using the same that are configured to lessen the damage done to soil and crops, and to overcome underground obstacles in comparison to prior art tunnel forming shanks.

A rodent gasser including a smoke cartridge and having a self ignition system is provided. According to a first embodiment, the self ignition system has a top plastic cap covering a strike pad and a lower plastic shroud that protects the rodent gasser ignition system prior to use. An ignition button is provided under the shroud that works with the strike pad to ignite the smoke cartridge. According to a second embodiment, the self ignition system has a top plastic cap covering activation components of a pull pin ignition system that include a gripping element and a connecting element that couples the gripping element to an internal ignition assembly. The gasser is ignited by pulling the gripping element. A method of using the rodent gasser is also provided.

Burrowing rodents and other burrowing pests are particularly difficult to eradicate, especially around household pets that like to dig up the rodent mounds in pursuit of the animal. This gas distribution device and the method for using the device was invented to increase the effectiveness of introducing a poisonous or repellent gas into the subterranean tunnels created by burrowing animals such as but not limited to mice, gophers, moles, rats, voles, and various insects. The distribution device can deliver large amounts of poisonous or repellent gas into the subterranean tunnels through the gas distribution chamber using supplied air to assist or without the supplied air assistance. By increasing the effectiveness of distributing poisonous gas throughout subterranean tunnels you may eliminate the need to use traps and poisonous bait that could injure a household pet or livestock.

A system and method for eradicating burrowing rodents uses an internal combustion engine running at high speed and zero mechanical load to convert gasoline and air into pressurized carbon monoxide entrained in an inert gas mixture consisting mostly of nitrogen and water vapor. A heat exchanger cools the exhaust gas and provides it to one or more outputs. Respective hoses are coupled to the outputs, with each hose coupled to an injector tube adapted for insertion into a subterranean tunnel in which a rodent may be present. The engine is preferably mounted on a wheeled tubular frame which may be part of a hand truck or a trailer frame, with the frame serving as both structural member and as heat exchanger. The system pumps gas into the tunnel, replacing the existing atmosphere with oxygen poor, CO rich gas that causes the rodents to succumb to a combination of CO poisoning and hypoxia.

Disclosed are the system and method for the process of fumigation. The fumigation system injection cart allows a user to fumigate item(s) that are placed in a poly bag or container. The ambient air from the poly bag or container is sucked out through the vacuum/fumigant outlet line. A desired negative pressure is created in the poly bag or container. A gaseous fumigant is introduced into the poly bag or container through the vacuum/fumigant outlet line. A pressure gauge is configured to monitor the pressure level in the poly bag or container. A fumigant cylinder provides a gaseous fumigant supply through a fumigant tank connector and intake line. A fumigant shutoff valve allows a user to control the flow of the gaseous fumigant. A wheeled hand truck handles allow the user to mobilize the fumigation system injection cart to an application site.
