We had an invasive weed problem due to them. We tried shooting them with rifles but the Marshall reminded us that we were in town limits so we could not shoot guns. Now we hire a guy who blows them up each summer to keep the population in healthy check. We don't have rattle snakes here, it's too cold in the winter (40 below zero) but the rodents do just fine. I don't hate Prairie Dogs, but being fined for invasive weeds by the state while the good native grass disappears is a problem. We are just doing what the Marshall and the DOW told us to do about the situation. I have made some scale tank roads out there and they dig up my roads too.
I would say get a dog, but even as fast as my German Shepherd is I dont think he could catch that many lol. He could catch quite a few though, we had to build a fence as he was sneaking up and catching the stray animals around my house! I do like explosions though haha, that would definitely make my day.

You would need an IR firing unit, IR receiver, and a LED flasher. The IR firing unit from us also includes barrel recoil and elevation so its a nice bonus there. The LED flasher also has the IR emitter on it needed to send IR signals. As for tank clubs, I am not aware of any Here soon I hope to turn our back parking lot into a tank battlefield but I still have a little bit of convincing to do first
