MHKflyer52 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Oh well another use of my 7 clone besides a car. We have had an issue with moles and gophers this year and they just seem to be immune to the pellets one can purchase from the garden store :banghead: so I figured I would just make them go to sleep and never wake up again. Parked my 7 in the yard next to a fresh hole and put a soda can that I cut the top and bottom out of into the hole and onto the end of the exhaust then started the car and let it idle. Just amazing how quiet my 7 is with this setup....:smilielol5:.... Found where a lot of other vent holes where and covered them or plug them with top soil as can be seen in the top left corner of this photo. Close up of the end of the exhaust pipe and soda can. Hope full that the moles and gophers are now resting in peace and not making more holes in my yard. :driving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTTTCAR Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I tried the same thing only I used the propane tank off the barbecue grill. The whole front yard is crisscrossed with runs. After gassing them for 24 hrs. I waited till dark ....struck a match and blew up the front yard........happy 4th of July . Gale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcarguy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm going to start my on critter-getter eradication business. Gonna call it Lucky "7" Pest Control. With my Stalker's V8, I can have a two-for-one sale during the grand opening. And once I equip each exhaust with the new patent-pending Gopher Trap mufflers, it should be a real money maker.

pi7ot Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I had a minor infestation of moles. I used moth balls(don't ask how I got their lil' legs apart). The moles would shove the camphor back out, but got fed up and left my garden and have not returned...yet. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanG Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you have an English engine/transmission/axle just park it over a hole and let the oil leak take care of the critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
