Several years ago I bought a farm that had been abandoned for 3 years. The previous owners had left about 15 bushels of oats on a concrete floor next to the dirt floor in the garage. The rats were so bad that they had a path worn bare to the house. I remodeled the house and moved in and could hear the rats gnawing in the walls every night. I knew they were tunneled under the concrete floor in the garage. Had the ammonia tank there side dressing corn, so took the hose and ran it for several seconds on one side of the burrows till I saw vapor coming out the far side. To make sure I had all of them, I went around all the buildings and gassed every hole I found. The result? No more rats at all. I have also gotten rid of groundhogs with this method. Another method that works is to mix chlorine bleach and ammonia cleaning fluid. This produces ammoniun chloride gas which is poison and should be used where good ventilation is available. Just quickly pour it in the burrows... Gene
