"After Purchasing the Varmit Getter I have used it mainly on gophers around and in my drip irrigation system. The device works like a dream!! It collapses their tunnel and eradicates the little boogers. Previously they have chewed the tape into and we have had to dig it up to repair it several times in a summer. So far we have only had to repair it twice. I am well pleased with the Varmit Getter. It is not only easy to use but it is successful. After trying other means of solving our problem this is by far the best." --- Vaughn Farms - USA

"After purchasing a varmitgetter device,I put a golf course under contract for gophers and ground squirrels, and am having a great deal of success with both critters...I had tried to eradicate ground squirrels previously with baits, and had no success at all. Another advantage I like, is the fact that this device collapses the tunnel system...Safety is bar none compared to other similar products on the market, the remote detonator is the only way to go...All said and done I look forward to my days on the golf course...IT'S A BLAST..." --- Ron Pitts, Dragon Slayers - Surprise, AZ

Reuter Farms Steve Reuter said:

"Dear Varmit Getter, After I bought the Varmint device I used it on all my hay fields to get rid of gophers. I went back one week later and found about 90% of the gophers were dead. Then did the same thing again now will see if gophers are gone when I start to cut hay. This thing works better than poison and you can see it right way instead of months of work. I would tell any farmer to buy this product. Well, worth my investment. thanks," --- Reuter Farms Steve Reuter - Stillwater, Minnesota

"Hi Barry, Everyone has a rodent story. Here is mine: Eight years ago my wife and I purchased a piece of ground that had been supporting gophers for years. Our goal was to eradicate these burrowing pests quickly. After using raw gas and matches, traps, water, and poison; I realized these minature excavators were gaining ground on me. So, after three years of battle, I decided there must be a better way. I found the better way. This was a hand held device that pumped propane and oxygen into the gopher runs. When I depressed a button on the hand held device, an electric spark caused the propane and oxygen to energize, creating a concussion underground. This instantly killed the burrowing rodent and destroyed the underground run, nest, and outhouse. Wow, was I happy! After a few short months the mounds stopped appearing. I think I had a smug look on my face all that winter. Then spring was here. So were a few new mounds around the fencelines. One time around and I was done. My investment had paid for itself and there it sat. So, what did I do? Share my experience with our neighbors. After charging them a fee to get rid of their gopher problem or seeing that they secured a like unit, all was well. How could it get any better? It has. Yes, it has and here is the end of the story. You, Barry, showed me that VARMITgetter gets the gas in the tunnel system 3 to 4 times faster. VARMITgetter was the same idea, very effective, but one huge, wonderful difference. No more eating dirt. The VARMlTgetter is controlled remotely. Wow!! I am even happier. Now, I can stand back, up to 25 feet, from the blast zone and watch when the propane and oxygen are energized. This has made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And I am not covered with dirt when I come home. Thank you Barry. The VARMITgetter is a WIN WIN situation for me." --- Gary B. Allington - Soap Lake, Washington

"One company aways says they are better than the other, the truth is if the gases are not mixed EXACTLY none of them work[ NO ROOM FOR ERROR] looks like all the hand held devices got the mix down but standing over the blast is INSANE. thats why I went with Varmitgetter, there customer service was great, replacement parts like that if ever needed ,can be worked on in the field ,up and running in 10 min or less had a rodex 4000 could never get it to work no help from the company at all, now i here those guys are Rodenator. BEWARE" --- Tom Tompson - Chico CA

"I have six acres and have spent a lot of money, and time on my landscaping. It took awhile but the gophers were finally attacking! I had tried just about everything, from poisons to gopher spikes to drowning holes and even got a few with my kids beebee gun. I was feeling like Caddy shack. I ran into a customer of mine who has a varmitgetter she said it was the best investment she has made. I looked you up on the internet and was very interested, my customer came to my home and gave me a demo, I was sold! I called you up and ordered one right away. I had immediate results. I have told everyone I know about the varmitgetter. As far as I am concerned Varmit getter is the absolute only solution to these pesky varmints! Thank You" --- David and Kristin Hohn - Temecula, California

"Hi Varmitgetter I wanted to drop you a note describing our complete satisfaction with the VarmitGetter. I have attached a few pictures to show the problem we had before we started using this little marvel. I knew we had a serious squirrel problem in an almond orchard we had just purchased and that if it was left unchecked our production would suffer. At the International Ag Show in Tulare I watched demonstrations of the other squirrel blaster on the market and couldn't believe anyone would willingly set off the blast while holding onto the blasting wand. I wouldn't want to do that, and didn't think I could ever convince any of my employees to either! The design of your VarmitGetter, using a remote control unit, is far superior to standing next to the blast. I bought my first unit on the spot and when it arrived a few days later, I easily set it up using the instructions. It worked like a champ from day one! No poisons, no dead squirrels laying around, just blow the holes and cover them over using a shovel. We started keeping track of how many holes were re-opened, because they were empty when we had blown them up. It was fun to use the blaster and watch the number of active holes diminish day after day. It wasn't long before everybody was taking "dibs" on who could use the VarmitGetter that day. First it was my wife, then the ranch hands, then our kids, even the old retired farmer who lives at the front of the ranch wanted to come along and watch what we were doing! The squirrel problem was reduced to almost nothing within a few months, and only once in a while was an active hole found around the ranch. Occasionally we needed a repair part, and one time we even sent the whole wand back for refurbishment, and every time we needed service you and your staff quickly got us going again. I can only wish that every piece of equipment we have worked as well, and was serviced as quickly, as our VarmitGetter. When we got another almond ranch we immediately ordered another VarmitGetter. I knew the ranch hands wouldn't stand still for me "borrowing" the one from the first ranch! As you might imagine the second one works just as good as the first one, and I'm just as pleased. Now if those guys will only let me use it one day....... You are welcome to use any of these comments in your literature. And if someone wants to call me about my experience with the VarmitGetter I would be happy to talk to them. (650) 279-5587 cell Thanks again for a great product, Michael Harms" --- Michael Harms - California

" Varmitgetter, we moved out on to a piece of property that had been pasture for many many years and the ground squirrels had free range. As we started to try to get rid of them, we tried a few different methods - flood the holes, smoke bombs, shooting them... We had friends with a Rodex and we even tried that. It was a little scary with the blast right at your feet! We came across your product at the farm show in Tulare and ended up bringing one home. It did not take long for us to get rid of our nasty little critters and kept them away for the last 4 years. Our neighbors decided to plant a vineyard and deep ripped the ground on 2 sides of us. As you might imagine, another flow of critters to our property. Well, with the Varmit Getter, we are again ridding our property of squirrels, and making our pastures safer for our horses! You build a very safe tool that is also very gratifying to use, and it works!!. By the way, our friends with the Rodex got rid of it and borrowed our Varmit Getter for their property. Thanks again for your dandy product! Bob Hamill Snelling, Ca. " --- Robert Hamill - Snelling, Ca.

"I must say, this is an excellent product that is extremely effective. With today`s rules and regulations relating to other methods of dealing with rodents it is nice to find a tool more than capable of dealing with these issues. I know my colleagues also feel the same and lets hope the UK market gets well established for you. I will keep in touch if I hear of any interested parties. Thanks again for your valuable support and good luck in the future. Best regards Phil Berridge " --- Phil Berridge - Telford Shropshire England

"I am writing this email as a testimony about the varmitgetter. I have owned a varmitgetter for about three years. We bought a ranch that was vacant for 6 years. Needless to say the varmits were everywhere. The tunnel system in the yard area was unbelieveable. We bought the varmitgetter and began our quest to destroy the varmits and their tunnels. I am glad to say we WON!!!, thanks to the varmitgetter. There was no way we could have done this without it. Its very easy to use, my wife even uses it. I would encourage anyone to invest in this great piece of equipment. It pays for itself quickly. Our hay field would be lost because of the huge mounds these tiny moles create. The mounds are full of rocks that can damage a swather and cause down time and money. Investing in a varmitgetter was definitely a life saver for are ranch!!! Judy Senter" --- Judy Senter - Colorado

"We have been using the Varmit Getter for about a week now and it is working GREAT! Finally we can fight back against those gophers! We had been fighting a losing battle for years and tried many things, but the VG gives us the edge now. Best feature is the remote detonation. We looked at all the models on the market, and the Varmit Getter is the best we're convinced. PS- we will also put a link to Varmit Getter on our website if you like, we're so pleased. www.sparkleplentyranch.com" --- Dave & Julia MacDougall - Sparkle Plenty Ranch Miniature Horses

"Everybody has their reasons for living in the country. I am a farmer at heart, having grown up in the country in S. California, and my wife has been a doctor in the city. After 20 years of college teaching (me), and 23 years of medical practice (her), we came out to Oregon City to create a farm for horses and their people. Ours is a athlete training facility. We created the farm from raw earth, and have disturbed the soil over 20 acres. Gophers and moles love this earth. It is soft and wet. It compacts with clay easily. The creatures can invade the pastures and running spaces, as well as eat the roots of new trees that have been planted everywhere. One will not allow flies in one’s home; nor will one be peaceful with gophers and moles in one’s pastures. Actually, gophers and moles can kill trees. Their tunnels can cripple a horse that steps on them. They cannot be allowed to enter. For a year, rain or shine, cold or heat, I would try to exterminate the pests with sulfur dioxide crystals burnt into their holes with a butane torch. I would find the unburned crystals on new mounds. I tried connecting a hose to a smoky old car and allow carbon monoxide to kill them. I tried traps, which killed the occasional gopher (after nearly cutting off my fingers), but the tunnels remained intact for the newcomer. It make me fearful for the horses, and miserable with fruitless work. I bought a Varmitgetter. The effect has been extraordinary. What took a week of muddy, smoky, difficult work now takes an hour. I can demolish whole networks of tunnels in one blast. The soil is being aerated at the same time for better plant growth. After the initial cost of the Varmitgetter and oxygen tank (a total of about $1,700 including shipping), I can conquer the pests, eradicate them over wide spaces, and share the technique with my friends. The tool will pay for itself in one month—approximately the time it would take a person to trap all the creatures around the farm. This is so superior to trapping, which, again, leaves the tunnels intact. Within a month I will be able to drive my entire periphery with my tractor, and eliminate the invading gopher from the neighbor’s untreated field. On the farm, satisfaction comes from small things and occasional big things. This equipment and the solution it offers is a big thing. I am very grateful.

"New contact from Varmitgetter.com Name: Rob Rickgauer Question/comment: Dear Varmint Getter “Barry and Company” I wanted to take this opportunity to tell your current and future customers about your outstanding product! I’m a small time rancher living on the Front Range in Colorado with a “massive” prairie dog problem on 200 acres. Originally we had no prairie dogs on our land, then we notice them moving in from nearly 2 miles away from an over grazed ranch down the road. Not realizing how bad it would become by not taking action early on, the dogs quickly multiplied and moved across our spread, finally reaching our neighbors spread. I figured we had at least 400 – 500 of these little grass munching machines which eat roughly 2-3 pounds of grass daily. Upon breaching my neighbors ground I realized I needed to do something and fast! I first tried shooting them with lots of help from family and friends, which only seemed to be a band aid; next I tried poison with little results. Doing more research I came across companies selling devices using oxygen and propane to blow the little vermin up right in the ground. Upon researching three companies with similar devices, I elected to choose varmint getter after speaking to Barry over the phone (he sold me). My decision was based on their product, price, warranty, and just the way they approached my prairie dog problem as they can help! I was sold and chose the Varmint Getter Component System due to the fact it had a separate igniter and propane applicator, not the all in one setup as the other two companies offered. I felt this was a better setup for my use considering my wife would be helping out which allowed blowing up the hole from a distance rather than being right on top of the hole when it blew up. I was correct in my thinking as my wife really enjoyed being the igniter person thus blowing up the little vermin. I’m here to tell you that our Varmint Getter Component System functioned flawlessly and better than expected! It was so amazing to see our results as we blew up hole after hole thus not seeing the grass munching vermin reappear. When we started you could look out over our spread only to see hundreds of prairie dogs on looking as we sent them to their death and upon completion seeing nothing alive when we were finished. This statement says it all: “This is a serious system which flat out works”, but realize it will take time if you have the amount of vermin we did. I also wanted to talk about the warranty. Varmint Getter “Barry and Company” went out of their way to help me when I had a problem! I would consider their customer service dealing with warranty work to be the best out there as my problem was solved quickly and professionally. To sum it up: Outstanding price, great warranty, top of the line components, friendly and professional customer service, a product that delivers death to a nuisance grass eating, tunnel digging, mound building, vermin.
