So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote." - Carl Spackler, Spokane WA.
- therodersabides, on 04/14/2009, -2/+39Detonate squirrels? Goddamnit Spokane, can't there ever be a positive story coming out of you? It's either "Meth addict goes on rape spree in hillyard and peaceful valley" or something disturbing like "Spokane parks to detonate squirrels".
Can't I ever be proud of my hometown? - inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+30That's nuts.
- kevlar21, on 04/14/2009, -0/+28The Rodenator in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2umEFHeo6mw - normlsparky, on 04/15/2009, -0/+25I bet a couple kids with pellet guns and a garden hose could do the job much cheaper.
- copypastry, on 04/14/2009, -1/+20I misread this as "propane sparks to detonate squirrels".
Seems this title is easily misread.
Or I'm a retard. - Arjin, on 04/15/2009, -2/+20"The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels - but in a humane way, the agency said"
I'd love to see them elaborate on this. - bratterscain, on 04/15/2009, -0/+16Rodenator Pro = Bill Murray
- RealmDown, on 04/15/2009, -0/+13Or they could just hire Carl.
It would be a Cinderella story. - kryptikcomic, on 04/15/2009, -0/+12If nuking the little commie bastards that other people call squirrels doesn't make you proud, nothing will... Stand tall, Washingtonians. Today is your day...
- Slackdragon, on 04/15/2009, -0/+12Queue Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture!
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+11I got to get into this dude's pelt and crawl around for a few days. Who's the gopher's ally? His friends. The harmless squirrel and the friendly rabbit.
- inactive, on 04/14/2009, -4/+15I first read this as "South Park to detonate squirrels". I got really excited.
- roostersheep, on 04/15/2009, -4/+14Why does a squirrel swim on its back?
To keep its nu- nuu- nut- nu- nuts dry.
/sp - Mockylock, on 04/15/2009, -4/+14***** awesome. We have Ground hogs/woodchucks out in my area that overrun the farm land. A nice high-powered rifle and some beer, makes for a good time.
- Shadic, on 04/15/2009, -2/+11***** yeah! Go Washington!
- supaklaw, on 04/15/2009, -0/+9"But if I kill all the golfers they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key... "
- bearsandbulls, on 04/14/2009, -1/+10What are they doing? That's good eatin!
- pcghost, on 04/15/2009, -0/+8I watched a friend of mine get blown off his feet standing too close to a rodent hole while this machine was in use. He wasn't really hurt so it was damn funny to watch. It is very effective for about a year. The Spokane area has a serious gopher problem. I planted three 4-foot trees in our field last year. 2 of 3 of them had their roots chewed until the tree simply fell over. The rodenator seems harsh until these little bastards cut your phone lines, your cable line, and the power line to your shop (All in one months time).
- pirlok, on 04/14/2009, -10/+18WTF? Oh, come one! Detonate squirrels? How can you *****' detonate and kill something "in a human way"? @therodersabides: you couldn't be prouder of your hometown!
- tallulahvulture, on 04/15/2009, -0/+7squirrels are cute. :(
- rockstar1o9, on 04/15/2009, -0/+7It seems more humane than all the youtube videos of farmers/rednecks/teenagers shooting them individually and watching them squirm/twitch to death. At least blowing something up is instantaneous, which in turn is humane, right? And it seems fairly effective and efficient. Let's not kid ourselves, these squirrels are going to get killed one way or another. I'd rather have this than a lot of other methods (like spreading poison around public parks, which may or may not be taken eaten by the squirrel).
- mickstephenson, on 04/14/2009, -0/+7I think the park wardens might have confused squirrels with gophers...
- DankBuddz, on 04/15/2009, -1/+8"The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels - but in a humane way, the agency said."
Not that I care much about squirrels or anything, but come on, does this sentence really make sense? - sczhdtaivfe, on 04/15/2009, -1/+7dugg for accuracy.
- protogenxl, on 04/15/2009, -1/+7I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days.
- sogleedy, on 04/15/2009, -0/+6Why not use this method instead and 'relocate" them into Idaho?
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids. ... - Azerael, on 04/15/2009, -0/+5Not nearly as epic as I thought.
- elnerdo, on 04/15/2009, -0/+4...?
Who are you kidding? Squirrels are adorable!

- charlietuna, on 04/15/2009, -2/+6This seems no less humane than being eaten by a coyote or a wolf. Dramatic though.
- NathanLoehlein, on 07/27/2009, -0/+3Hey now!
- andyb747, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3how about just trapping them?
- bratterscain, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3I was expecting a CaddyShack reference.
- charlietuna, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3The US used this method to clear tunnels of VC in Vietnam. Only difference was they (we) used acetylene, which is a pretty potent explosive.
- sodoh, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3They tried this on Caddyshack. Look what happened there! Totally useless unless you need to give some Rich Golf Club owner his comeuppance.
- galanz, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3Some dumbass used one of these just outside of Calgary last year and burned his neighbours barn down.
http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/story.html?i ... - MuadDave, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3Or maybe CUE it. I'd hate to see the 1812 having to wait in a line.
- michaelrsa, on 04/15/2009, -2/+5No Rat Race references here please. Let's keep it to funny movies.
- picsectionpleez, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3sounds just like bill murray in caddyshack!
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3Hahahaha!!
Wow... I could see "trap" squirrels, or "kill" squirrels, but "detonate"?! How about "obliterate"? - vwwally, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3No. No you can't.
- Lunarbunny, on 04/15/2009, -0/+3You need oxygen too, it probably mixes a proper air/fuel mixture.
- Samurai77, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Well at least they aren't using the Depelter Turbo.
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Rodenator Pro.
Awesome. - Jektal, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2We need Wallace & Gromit!
- bbqsalad, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2I hope the squirrels get revenge on you all.
- nyxerebos, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2yeah, they could sell tickets to this
- mateo60, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Squirrels are godless killing machines.
- davidg11, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2II moved to Central WA 10 years ago from NY. This story does not surprise me in any way shape or form. In fact I am constantly amused by the antics in this state.
