    Q
    We have rats tunneling under our house and trees, would this bomb work?
    We have 2 dogs and 1 cat outdoors
    A
    No, Giant Destroyer cannot be used for tunnel under structures. Bait stations and exclusion would be your best bet. We sell a convenient rat control kit here: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/protecta-rat-bait-station-case-stations-and-fastrac-blox-p-1459.html.

    Q
    Why not use in the winter when you know he is in his hole?
    unless you see him run into a hole you have no idea if he in there or not.
    A
    Burrows and underground tunnels are normally very extensive. Because of this fact it is recommended on the ladel to check for burrow actively prior to use to ensure the effectiveness of the Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser. Performing an application during winter may or may not give you desirable results.

    Q
    Can you use the giant Destroyer smoke bomb in your attic to get rid of bats?

This product is made for air tight travel ways of animals and cannot be used inside homes, attics or crawlspaces.  Please refer to our approved Bat products.

    Q
    Would Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser work if I have Gophers?
    I want to make sure that I have gophers first. I see horse shoe shape mounds. I bought gopher bait from you, based on the description of the mounds do I have gophers or moles? The problem is in my front lawn.
    A

    Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser would definitely work to kill Gophers as well as Moles. We recommend that you look over the Gopher Idetification, Mole Identification and Mole Inspection Guides so you can see what their behaviors are like and also the difference between Gopher and Mole damage.

    Q
    Will this product kill spruce trees if used under them?
    A
    This fuse on the Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser burns at about 450 degrees so getting it too close to the roots of a tree would be harmful and could burn them. The actual product itself is not harmful to any trees.

    Q
    Can a Giant Destroyer be used in a coyote den/burrow?
    The opening to the burrow is approximately 12 in x 12 in or slightly greater.
    A
    The Giant Destroyers are only designed to be used in a hole/tunnel in the ground where it can be covered and let the gas it releases build up to suffocate the animals to death.  We cannot advise that you use the product for anything larger than Moles, Woodchucks, or skunks per the product label.

    Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser is not labeled to be applied under structures including decks. We would recommend to use Gopher bait directly in the gopher burrows. Please see our Gopher Control Page.

    Q
    Can I use Giant Destroyer to control insects in a house with just the studs and framing?
    I'm buying a cabin that has been empty for over a year. I will take the wall down back to the studs. Before I start work I wanted to use your product to kill everything in the cabin. It is about 950sq feet.
    A
    The Giant Destroyer is meant to kill moles and golphers, animals that burrow into the ground.  This product is made for air tight travel ways of animals.  It would not be effective in a cabin or house because it is not air tight.  Also, the product specifically states it is not to be used inside buildings.  You should use our CB PCO Foggers which are for inside buildings and houses.  Each can will treat 5,000 cubic feet.

    Q
    I have a groundhog burrowed under my cement front porch.
    Is it safe for me to use the Giant Destroyer on a groundhog burrowed under my cement front porch with a house that has a cement foundation/basement? Thank you!

    According the Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser label:  Do not use under buildings, homes, porches or any structure due to possible fire hazard. Only use inside of burrows and never inside of buildings. Please contact the manufacturer Atlas Chemical Corp directly at 1-319-377-8921 for specific details on how their product can assist you.

  • Asked by Juditht from Tulsa, Ok
    10/29/2013
    Q
    Can Giant Destroyer be used in armadillo burrows?
    I have a family of dillos under my foundation. Can I safely use the bomb in the holes dug by these horrible critters. I want them to leave before they destroy my house.
    A

    You cannot safely use the Giant Destroyers under any structure. You may want to try to build a one way door by securing a bit of hardware cloth (or chicken wire) on three sides over the entrance and leaving one corner for the armadillos to push their way out. After the one way door is constructed, throw a large cloth soaked in ammonia into the burrow. This will usually stir the animals up and make them move out. Once they push their way out, they will not understand how to lift the one way door to get back in. It is very important that you permanently seal up the burrow to stop new armadillos from moving in.

    Alternatively, you can try trapping the armadillos with a cage trap. The Tomahawk 108.1 would work well for this job. Fresh fruit can work to attract the animals into the trap but earthworms is the best known bait to attract armadillos. You can put the earthworms in a cup with a lid and lots of small holes or in a piece of panty hose in the back of the trap to stop them from escaping. Once the armadillo is trapped, you must decide what to do with the critter. You should contact your local animal control to see what the requirement is in your region. Some places require that the animal be destroyed and others require that they be released on private property.

    Q
    I am having problems with field mice, chipmunks and groundhogs in my yard. What should I be using?
    I have a large yard and have many pests, but the mice, chipmunks and groundhogs seem to be doing the most damage. Is there a poison solution/solutions. I have bait stations and cross contamination is not a problem.
    A
    Unfortunately there is not one solution for all of the pests you mentioned. There are no baits (poisons) on the market that are labeled for groundhogs or for chipmunks, and there are very limited baits available for field mice (aka voles). We recommend you read the following articles to learn more about eliminating these pests from your property: How to get rid of groundhogs, How to get rid of chipmunks, How to get rid of voles. Each of these articles will explain in detail what you can do to get rid of the pests you have now and how you can modify your property to make it less favorable to future pests.
