Besides an AR-15 & C4 for controlling burrowing rodents in turf runways there is a good permentant solution that is a tad less noisey. We were hanger flying this weekend and the subject came up. One farmer / pilot said he controls pocket gophers in the edges of his corn fields by putting "Poisioned Milo" in each hole. It is an over the counter product (from Pakistain) that contains strychnine. It is commercially available at a most larger seed companies. It should not be broadcast as it will kill anything that eats it, birds, etc., but a a 1/2 dozen guys can cover a landing strip in an hour or less. Sure beats a possible flipover.
Just an idea I heard that I thought I'd pass along. Any other ideas that will not involve ATF, FBI, CIA or EPA?
