Anybody have any success in getting rid of them? Shooting is futile. For those without, most of you I assume, consider yourselves fortunate.

We'll have a kid
Or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight
We don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup
Someday he may be president
If things loosen up

Just make sure you don't shoot the black footed ferret hanging at with them, that illegal.
Get a schnauzer mix. It'll catch and kill the slow and the weak ones and dig up the burrows of the one's it can't catch so they move on.

Talk to your department of wildlife or county extension agent to see what is legal in Colo.
Here in KS. there are ways to use a poison gas or put out poisoned oats in the winter when there isn't anything else growing. The poison oats are the easiest and most economical but obviously have to be used carefully to avoid harming other wildlife. Its been years since I've been involved in ag, so I don't know the latest developments.
I remember seeing something about a guy who created a machine that sucked them out of the hole. Another guy figured out how to detonate a propane/air mixture.
The bubonic plague thing is no joke. We were battling them on one patch of ground. Went out one winter and they were all gone. It was likely the plague.
We had a big colony on our property and tried several methods to get rid of them. Smoke bombs and flooding the burrows with water aren't very effective. The pellets sold as mole poison work fairly well for prairie dogs. They mix with stomach acid to create poison gas - the little SOBs burp, inhale the gas, and they die. Drop a few pellets in each hole and make sure they're deep enough that dogs and birds can't find them first. It would probably take a whole handful to kill a normal dog, but eating a few could make them sick so don't take chances.

I bet the Rodenator would work as power for a potato gun or pumpkin launcher.
Hmmm!! how about breaking up the cast iron in an old house?
