But at 2000 bucks, that's some pretty spendy amusement.
Pocket gophers can devastate a hayfield. The farmer I know who runs a Rodenator or something like it enjoys seeing it go boom so he alibis the cost. Plus he gets to blow up tunnels for his neighbors. Don't know if he charges but he could, or just has fun with it.
Don't think I'd let Calvin near my lawn with it.
The field next door is full of pocket gophers but they stay away from my lawn. Short grass I suppose.
Had a minor ground squirrel invasion a few years ago. A combination of "hunting" with Colibris and whatever the poison bait I got at the farm store was handled it nicely.
