I lived on an acreage out by Dewinton growing up. We had a huge problem in the area with what we incorrectly called moles but I think they were what Cowperson described as pocket gophers. They were the ones that left the big black mound of black dirt overnight. Anyway, I was pretty young, but I remember my dad trying to rid the place of them using different methods...water, traps, etc. to no avail. One day he got the Pinto wagon into the yard, hooked up some hose to the exhaust and gassed the holes. I doubt it did anything but he got my little Honda 50 in on the action as well, mostly for my amusement I spose. Either way, it did work. Our yard was pocket gopher free from that point. So yup, Co2 does the trick if you can rig up a vehicle or gas burning engine into the yard to do it.
