Back in the 60's, we used a product, which was a small cylinder that was 2% cyanide, if I remember correctly. We would fill in one hole, light the fuse on one of these bombs, throw it down the other hole, and take the loader and quickly fill in that hole. We had to be careful not to be downwind, and if we saw any smoke rising from the ground we just filled the hole in with, we would add more until the smoke would stop. I can still get these, but they are charcoal without the cyanide. It still works. We use them close to the buildings, and any area we are not comfortable shooting. I've used more than one in a hole that I knew had an entire family living in it. I also prefer to keep the .22 or pistol grip crossbow nearby in case somebody takes exception to having their day ruined.
