SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - 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.

PETA protesting in 3. 2. 1......  The Rodenator ?  Cool.
They need to call in the expert.

Um, don't squirrels live in trees on the left coast like they do in the rest of the country?   :confused:

Blame it on a lazy journalist/photographer/editor. The article mentions ground squirrels, but they put the pic of a regular squirrel with it. I would have used this pic.

So these guys are being patted on the back for blowing up squirrels and the baseball coach in Florida gets suspended because his team killed and buried a snake WHEN HE WAS NOT THERE.


This world is getting a bit to ****ed up.

Not me. That picture showed up under a search for "the rodenator".

Ground squirrels are commonly called chipmunks at least around here.
