"Crittergetter" Pumps Exhaust Underground

Crittergetter Pumps Exhaust Underground MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals The idea of using engine exhaust to kill gophers and other underground pests is as old as the internal combustion engine But if you’ve ever tried to hook a garden hose up to a tail pipe you know it’s not easy That’s why Chris Kilmen came up with the “Crittergetter” a kit that makes it easy to funnel exhaust into underground tunnels It consists of a 9-in long rigid plastic adapter that clamps onto the exhaust pipe; 50 ft of clear plastic tubing; an adapter that fits onto the far end of the tubing and a 1 1/2-in dia 8-in long pvc tube that attaches to the end and is used to get gas into tunnels The holes don’t need to be sealed off because the gas is heavier than air and settles down into the tunnels “It’s simple to use and safe for the operator since there’s no poison bait or explosions involved ” says inventor Chris Klimen “Carbon monoxide is both convenient and inexpensive because it comes from a vehicle’s exhaust It reaches the burrow’s smallest hiding places “It works better than using an adapter that hooks up to a garden hose because the tubing is much bigger than a garden hose and can handle far more volume ” Two homeowner models are available and come with a 50-ft long lightweight plastic hose with additional 50-ft hose extensions available They fit exhaust pipes up to 3 and 4 in in dia and sell for $31 99 and $36 99 plus S&H respectively A heavier-duty model called the “Original Crittergetter” uses an industrial grade high temperature hose that’s available in lengths from 25 to 150 ft It fits exhaust pipes from 2 to 4 in dia and starts at $36 86 plus S&H Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Chris Klimen P O Box 797 Angwin Calif 94508 ph 888 870-4214; cklimen@crittergetteronline com; www crittergetteronline com
