Bonide (BND61110) - Revenge Rodent Smoke Bombs, Mole and Gopher Killer, Poison, Repellent, Trap, Pack of 4

They do what they say but ground hog was still not cooperating with me. Was not home at the time.

Had to pound a hole in it with a nail to get the wick down where it needed to be. But once lit and put into hole it was very effective in getting rid of a huge chipmunk problem.

-I used this on ground squirrels making holes under a tree in my yard. I tried another product, but that night after using it, the squirrels were there, almost mocking me.-I used one on a hole early one morning during a rain. I figured the squirrels would be in there, staying warm and dry. I put in in the whole, well sun of a gun, that thing slide WAY down there. I managed to get it light using a stick that curved like the hole, then I covered it up. That hole is still closed three days later.-The second and third one I used were in the evening, around 22:00 hours, and the ground was wet, from a light mist. I believe the rain helps keep the smoke in because the dirt is wet, and expands like a sponge. I used a planting tool to hold the smoke bomb while I lit it this time. Then I let it go, and cover the hole with my dogs deuces, and some dirt. Those two holes still have not opened back up, and it has been a few days now.-Bottom line, I am happy, and I am MORE than happy to buy these again to get rid of critters. I am thinking of getting some for where I work, even though I will not be remembered for it. The smell just reminds me of fireworks.

These would light, but not burn all the way down. Be cautious, more like a flare( open flame) than a smoke bomb.

I had 2 choices. The golf course way or the smoke bomb. I could not do what the golf course way which is to fill the hole with propane and kaboum it (it is a sure way but much more dangerous as the entire tunneling will explode into the air, quite impressive if you never saw it) because the rodent was under the house. So, I used the smoke bomb. You also have to be careful. Do not hold it in your hands after firing it as it could burn you or even explode in you hands.I finally had to use propane and kaboum the little animal. The smoke bomb does not produce enough smoke and as the smoke is lighter than air, it doesn't push air out of the hole. So, I concluded that it is not a good concept. I like my rodents well done. The house is still standing.

My backyard (about 3/4 acres) was ravaged by moles and ground hogs. Bought these and another brand and lit about 16 of these in 16 different tunnels. The population dropped by about 90%. The following week, I repeated the process with another 12 smoke bombs and this time started closing the tunnel openings . Currently critter free and the backyard looks so much better..I know some people have not had the same success.I used a tube to hold the smoke bomb at its tip and after lighting it and going deep enough, pushed it into the hole with a dowel stick through the tube. I used a leaf blower to gently blow the air inwards and could see the smoke coming out through all the different surface openings and closed them one by one.It is important to repeat the process in 1-2 weeks as these creatures multiply rather fast, so after killing 90% in one sitting, I repeated the process to completely wipe out the population. otherwise even 2 that escape the first attack will multiply to 25 in 4-6 weeks.These smoke bombs are cheap, hardly $20 to $30 for what I used in one sitting. Fixing a completely destroyed backyard will cost several hundred times that..

My mother-in-law and I have been fighting gophers and moles over the last 3 years. After spending lots of money on stuff that didn’t deter them, I decided to give the smoke bombs a try. Wow! We evidently killed them or run them off because she hasn’t seen any of her plants disappear down a hole in months. When we do see activity she grabs her “dynamite” and gives them “what they got coming”. Easy to use, and very effective. We place a mason jar over any entrances to maximize our efforts. The neighbors won’t do their part to reduce the numbers, so we always have our “dynamite” ready.

Don't bother. Look no further. Because of the slick packaging in the product listing I thought these might be superior to the Giant Destroyer. They aren't....because they are the same product, for half as many bombs at over twice the price. Packaging didn't look at all like the ad and is just a pack of Giant Destroyers, in the same blister pack, with slightly different labeling. Even the colors are the same. You can buy four times as many Giant Destroyers at the same price. Other than that, works about the same. You have about a 50/50 chance of getting these into the right branch of a gopher burrow where it will do some good.
