I have wondered if we could kill them if we were to rig up a hose from
an exhaust pipe and push carbon monoxide into the tunnel system. Might
just cause the engine to stop, from the resistance.
A neighbor told me that as a kid they would take the exhaust from a Maytag
washing machine motor and stuff into the gopher holes. That worked for a
while until a new family moved in. I have also seen videos of people
stuffing an acetylene hose in a gopher hole for a while then lighting it
off. A whole field can erupt. Does till things but I would be concerned
where the tunnels ran, like under my butt or maybe house.
