Rodent control
Rodex Industries has a product for controlling burrowing rodents such as gophers.
The Rodex 4000 is an applicator that injects a special mix of oxygen and propane into the rodent’s hole.
A built-in, self-contained ignition system ignites the mixture, instantly killing the rodent and collapsing the tunnel system.
For safety, there is a state-of-the-art check valve and flash arrester, stainless steel pressure sensor and separate time delay for proper ignition.
It comes with about 15 metres of hose, regulators, safety helmet, goggles and an instructional video.
