A few years ago I had what I thought was a good idea. I had a yellow jacket nest in the ground at the bottom of a ditch about three feet below a headwall. I thought pouring some gas down the hole after dusk would do it and it probably would have all by itself. But I needed to go one step further and I stood on the headwall and dropped a match into the ditch. It was very humid and the gas fumes hung at the bottom of the ditch and the whoosh when the gas lit up scared me to death. Best laid plans and all that.

I don't think you have enough gun need at least S&W 500 !!

Clear the hole, get a co2 pellet pistol or rifle? I just purchased this one below. You can kill em and have fun doing it.

I have a pellet pump pistol too. Besides 1911 bb pistols c02, very quiet when hunting varmits.
I had rats in my firewood from the farm across the street at the old house. I tried decon shoved in the pallets under the wood pile but the birds got to it. I cleaned up the decon and got cats after that.
I'll tell you what I'll come over and solve your squirrel problem and you come over and solve the blackbear problem I have. Tonight there hooting to each other looking for a mate because they can't call 1 800 collect. Looks like Cubs in the springtime. Great.

Please post your results. I've got the pop corn on stand by.
Your wife may not be in the mood to post the video on YouTube. Maybe CL could draft a codicil to your will that makes the specified inheritance contingent on publication of any videos made at the time of your [untimely] demise.
BEST PLAN: Abandon your homestead and move west.
Oh yeah... motorcycle in the yard with a garden house hanging out the exhaust, other side stuffed into the ground. Beer in one hand and gun in the other shooting rounds into ground squirrel holes... dog barking... wife hollering. YouTube stardom here I come!
Don't forget a starring appearance on "COPS"

I picked up a m14 bb semi auto co2 rifle too. I figure it's easier to shoot bb/ pellets.

I have a much better idea - that worked well for me. Find one of the holes that a garden hose will go down a fair distance (10' feet or more). Plug all the other holes you can find with mud and when completed get a couple highway flares, fire 'em up and shove them down the deep hole you found and plug that hole with mud also. The gas from the flares will permeate throughout the holes and kill every rodent - with no explosions needed!

last ground squirrel i saw, i had my model 15 on my belt. using a 38 spc to kill one is expensive, but works well.
my 22/45 is more cost effective.
now that feral cat hangs around, i don't have to worry about such foolishness.
that's my best advice.
feed some poor kitty n she will take care of these problems.

Man's quest to rule over his domain and rid himself of varmints will always be a "hold my beer" moment.
But I suggest putting the Go Pro on the dog so we get a wide angle view of the event.
Either that or hire an exterminator, put the Go Pro on your head and give the beer to the dog.

I could imagine my three tamed feral cats attacking my resident blackbear. Lol
Setup a trail cam to see when there the most active. Flamethrower. They say squirrel brains is good eating. I had rabbit catchatore, but never squirrel catchatore. Either way in tomato sauce with garlic and organo or plenty of ketchup? Lmao.
Just kidding but the full auto bb Broomhandle with you in full camo sounds like fun? Skin them pilgrim

I was on board with the very effective A24 CO2 powered rat and rodent machine after watching most of the video above. Then at the end of the video the "host" veered off into Crazyland and started talking about how tasty rat was to eat.......That killed my appetite for the A24 machine.

I'm currently utilizing a pellet rifle with .177GAMO power pellets. These things are very fast and accurate. A Ruger American 22 lr with CCI "Quiet"is next in line. When the neighbors go to Florida a Ruger 10/22 with 36 gr JHPs steps up. Ground hogs are nearly immune to the pellets and 22 Quiet.
I'd like to watch some of the schemes mentioned above....from a safe distance.
