Simply stated: exhaust kills, especially in a small confined space such as a burrow. The Crittergetter is a device that will help you move exhaust from your vehicle (gasoline or diesel) into the burrow of the critter that is causing you harm. The result?… No more burrowing critter.
Burrowing critters are frustrating. Moles, gophers, voles, shrews, woodchucks, chipmunks, prairie dogs, squirrels, among others; all exhibit damaging behavior when combined with planned landscaping. What seems to make the damage done by these animals worse is the intelligence displayed by them when attempting to stop them: They learn to avoid and overcome traps, they hide and barricade themselves away from danger, they adapt to noise, and they learn to shun baits and poisons. Often adding even more frustration is the common error of misidentification of the perpetrating animal, which typically causes the use of inappropriate products, and in turn, ineffective treatment. Considering all of these contributing factors, it's a wonder anyone is ever able to get a leg up on these animals. Use of the Crittergetter removes much of the contradiction and confusion created due to the differing types of treatment required for each individual critter. By delivering a fast moving, burrow-end reaching, 'non-pest specific' carbon monoxide gas, the Crittergetter, unlike many other products, will be effective regardless of what type of burrowing pest it comes up against because its quick delivery does not allow any critter the time to hide.
in valve and catalytic converter damage. If the
automakers could use pipes of these smaller diameters for their
exhaust systems, they would have done so long ago and saved
themselves a great deal of money.Many folks have been successfully using engine exhaust and a far from perfected, inefficient mish-mash of incompatible parts, as an abatement technique for decades. The Crittergetter was created with the intention of streamlining this previously problematic method by providing a product that furnishes the appropriately sized and constructed tool to efficiently and effectively control any type of burrowing pest.
For those interested in learning more about the Crittergetter, pest identification, and much more; the toolbars above and to the left provide links to resources and information specific to many types of burrowing animals including sections on damage prevention measures and specific animal habitats. In addition, for homeowners in cities and tight-knit suburbs lacking the access requirements to use the Crittergetter, we provide links to alternative product manufacturers, alternative product retailers, and other informational websites that will help these individuals to eliminate their pest problem.
To order a Crittergetter simply follow the easy steps below.
For this application an "Up to 3-inch" Homeowner Crittergetter or a 3" (7.6 cm) Original Crittergetter should be ordered.

We have two versions of the Crittergetter: The Original and The Homeowner. The Original Crittergetter hose is constructed of very heavy gage 3-Ply Polyester Yarns, is tough enough to be driven over by a car on a rocky surface without being damaged, and was created with the intent of withstanding continuous vigorous use. For those who do not require the industrial strength and durability of the Original, we have the Homeowner Crittergetter. By forming a union between the Original Crittergetter hose and our lightweight plastic hose we can offer a product that is better suited to the majority of our users needs. Other benefits of the Homeowner Crittergetter as compared to the Original Crittergetter are as follows:

A note regarding critters who are surface tunneling - surface tunneling is when a tunneling critter travels around at a shallow depth, slightly raising the ground - creating a trail that is easily followed. When these animals (Moles, Voles, and Gophers) are engaged in this type of foraging activity the Crittergetters effectiveness may be diminished due to the shallow nature of these tunnels allowing the gasses to escape. Have Faith! The Crittergetter has been used successfully against this activity. The velocity of the exhaust in the small tunnel is great enough to keep any loss to a minimum - the path of least resistance is down the burrow, not pushing through broken soil! However, it may require a couple of applications using the Crittergetter to eliminate this critter.
Your results using the Crittergetter and its immediate effectiveness during use will depend largely on how established your critter has become. In the situation where a burrow opening is at the end of a large burrow system persistence is the key - Reapply if necessary - Once you have eliminated a long time resident, newcomers will be much easier to control.
