Bonide(BND61110) - Revenge Rodent Smoke Bombs, Mole and Gopher Killer, Poison, Repellent, Trap, Pack of 4

My mother-in-law and I have been fighting gophers and moles over the last 3 years. After spending lots of money on stuff that didn’t deter them, I decided to give the smoke bombs a try. Wow! We evidently killed them or run them off because she hasn’t seen any of her plants disappear down a hole in months. When we do see activity she grabs her “dynamite” and gives them “what they got coming”. Easy to use, and very effective. We place a mason jar over any entrances to maximize our efforts. The neighbors won’t do their part to reduce the numbers, so we always have our “dynamite” ready.

Had to pound a hole in it with a nail to get the wick down where it needed to be. But once lit and put into hole it was very effective in getting rid of a huge chipmunk problem.

They do what they say but ground hog was still not cooperating with me. Was not home at the time.

Pretty sure I used them correctly, and ground squirrels remain. Placed one at each entrance, or the two that I could find, twice now. I think it killed one or two though, and it is fun to light on fire and throw down a hole

These Revenge smoke bombs were a good deal 5 or 6 years ago, when the price was $6.99 and they actually worked. Since then the price has quadrupled, but the worst part is that the smoke bomb mixture is no longer lethal to groundhogs. The other day we used 2 bombs for a small groundhog. Hours later when the tarp was removed that covered the trap, the groundhog just looked at me as if to say, "Is that all you got!" This was a true waste of money and unless you return the smoke bombs within 30 days, the seller won't refund your money. Do yourself a favor and just look elsewhere if you need this type of item.

-I used this on ground squirrels making holes under a tree in my yard. I tried another product, but that night after using it, the squirrels were there, almost mocking me.-I used one on a hole early one morning during a rain. I figured the squirrels would be in there, staying warm and dry. I put in in the whole, well sun of a gun, that thing slide WAY down there. I managed to get it light using a stick that curved like the hole, then I covered it up. That hole is still closed three days later.-The second and third one I used were in the evening, around 22:00 hours, and the ground was wet, from a light mist. I believe the rain helps keep the smoke in because the dirt is wet, and expands like a sponge. I used a planting tool to hold the smoke bomb while I lit it this time. Then I let it go, and cover the hole with my dogs deuces, and some dirt. Those two holes still have not opened back up, and it has been a few days now.-Bottom line, I am happy, and I am MORE than happy to buy these again to get rid of critters. I am thinking of getting some for where I work, even though I will not be remembered for it. The smell just reminds me of fireworks.

We followed all of the directions but these didn't do anything. They didn't stay lit very long. I bought these because they would get to me sooner than a cheaper brand. This was $28 wasted! I am so disappointed! They smelled like a regular firecracker so that wasn't bad but the moles/voles or whatever that are are still having a party in our yard. They are starting to burrow under my raised garden beds and that is what we were hoping to prevent and we have a very active border collie who loves to play fetch and we are praying he doesn't land on a burrow an hurt himself. Overall, a huge waste of money!

My backyard (about 3/4 acres) was ravaged by moles and ground hogs. Bought these and another brand and lit about 16 of these in 16 different tunnels. The population dropped by about 90%. The following week, I repeated the process with another 12 smoke bombs and this time started closing the tunnel openings . Currently critter free and the backyard looks so much better..I know some people have not had the same success.I used a tube to hold the smoke bomb at its tip and after lighting it and going deep enough, pushed it into the hole with a dowel stick through the tube. I used a leaf blower to gently blow the air inwards and could see the smoke coming out through all the different surface openings and closed them one by one.It is important to repeat the process in 1-2 weeks as these creatures multiply rather fast, so after killing 90% in one sitting, I repeated the process to completely wipe out the population. otherwise even 2 that escape the first attack will multiply to 25 in 4-6 weeks.These smoke bombs are cheap, hardly $20 to $30 for what I used in one sitting. Fixing a completely destroyed backyard will cost several hundred times that..
