Spokane parks to blow up squirrels

SPOKANE - Spokane is having a problem with too many ground squirrels at the Finch Arboretum

So the Parks and Recreation department is going to use a special machine to detonate some of the 100 to 150 rodents that are tearing up the grounds.

The machine is called the Rodenator Pro. It pumps propane and oxygen into the tunnels of squirrels, then sends an electric spark that causes an explosion. The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels.

The parks department says the Rodenator is a humane way to kill the squirrels. But it warns area residents that the explosions sound like gun shots, and to not to alarmed by them all week.

I don’t brake for squirrels anymore. Destructive little devils (cute as they are). I’m just realistic. ;-)

Does it work on moles?

Much more fun than poison worms.

Don't worry. Even when dead, they will still vote for Rodents in the next election.

The video at the rodenator site is hilarious. At times it almost seems like a parody. The guy is completely unapologetic and politically incorrect. He clearly likes the idea of blowing up animals.

You don't see much of that these days.

I am in awe.

A more cost effective method, perhaps?
