Critter Confused?
You’re not the only
one...
Check out our links below to find out what’s pestering you,
and what you can do about it!
Groundhogs are big, groundhogs are stubborn, groundhogs are persistent, and without some sort of groundhog control, your groundhog is going to demolish your garden and yard in no time flat. Right now it´s on the outside of your garden fence eyeballing your fledgling veggies deciding which of them it´s going to eat first . Oh, by the way, your groundhog is done with your Icelandic poppies and cornflower´s and would like to know when to return for desert! What makes matters worse is that it calls the enormous, newly excavated space it´s made under your garage floor home - the hole under the shed slab is no longer big enough for her and her four cubs! So, she's moved out, and it looks as if another groundhog from across the way is eyeballing the vacancy.
You need to get rid of your Groundhog Problem
The Crittergetter is not your typical groundhog control product. It exterminates groundhogs through the use of engine exhaust from a car, truck, tractor, mower, ATV, or nearly any other type of combustion engine, diesel or gasoline. Quite plainly stated: Exhaust Kills. Your problem groundhog lives inside a burrow. That burrow is a confined space. The Crittergetter will fill that confined space with a toxic gas that will lull your groundhog to sleep painlessly and permanently... that´s the end of your groundhog problem.
The Crittergetter is the only proactive groundhog control product available. When applied properly, the burrow system of the groundhog is no match for the Crittergetter because its use of high pressure exhaust makes it capable of reaching the farthest reaches of any burrow. Nearly every other product on the market relies on an action from the groundhog to be effective; the Crittergetter takes the action to these unrelenting pests. Use the Crittergetter for your groundhog control needs and "bring the business" to your groundhogs, before your groundhogs give the business to you.
Not a groundhog? Have other critter issues in addition to groundhogs? Not a problem. The Crittergetter is the lone product available where it doesn´t matter what type of critter you need to get rid of… the results are always the same; the Crittergetter turns the entire burrow into a toxic environment, regardless of the critter type.
Concerned about how the Crittergetter may affect your environment? Read The Crittergetter – An Alternative to Poison to find out how the Crittergetter works and why common fertilizers, pesticides, and pest control products are markedly more harmful to your children, your pets, and you.
The Crittergetter's use of engine exhaust for groundhog extermination is not a new idea. Farmers and Landowners throughout the U.S. have been successfully using engine exhaust as an abatement technique for decades. The Crittergetter simply provides a properly constructed tool, made of the appropriately sized parts, to efficiently and effectively use this technique in one easy to use kit.
A note regarding exhaust pipe sizing:
Vehicle exhaust pipes are sized as
they are for a reason. Attempting to reduce an exhaust pipe to a
3/4-inch or 5/8-inch diameter will cause excess backpressure
resulting in valve and catalytic converter damage. If the
automakers could use pipes of these smaller diameters for their
exhaust systems, they would have done so long ago and saved
themselves a great deal of money.
Unlike most poisons, baits, traps, bullets, toxic castor oil, and other products used for groundhog control; the Crittergetter is safe for use around both children and pets.
Groundhog curious? Scan to the bottom of this page to learn more about these relentless pests. For those interested in learning more about the Crittergetter, pest identification, and much more; the toolbar´s above and to the left provide links to resources and information specific to many types of burrowing animals including sections on damage prevention measures and specific animal habitats. In addition, for homeowners in cities and tight-knit suburbs lacking the access requirements to use the Crittergetter for their groundhog control needs, we provide links to alternative product manufacturers, alternative product retailers, and other informational websites that will help these individuals get rid of their groundhogs or other burrowing pests.
To order a Crittergetter simply follow the easy
steps below.
Measure your exhaust pipe.
For this application an "Up to 3-inch"
Homeowner Crittergetter or a 3" (7.6 cm) Original
Crittergetter should be ordered.
This is the correct way to measure an odd shaped
tailpipe. A "3-inch Plus" Homeowner Crittergetter or a
4" (10.2 cm) Original Crittergetter should be ordered.
Determine the required length of your Crittergetter by
measuring the distance from your vehicle to the burrow opening or
mound. (For the average person, one large step equals about
3-feet.)
Select a Crittergetter from our product selection
below.
We have two versions of the Crittergetter: The
Original and The Homeowner. The Original Crittergetter hose is
constructed of very heavy gage 3-Ply Polyester Yarns, is tough
enough to be driven over by a car on a rocky surface without
being damaged, and was created with the intent of withstanding
continuous vigorous use. For those who do not require the
industrial strength and durability of the Original, we have the
Homeowner Crittergetter. By forming a union between the Original
Crittergetter hose and our lightweight plastic hose we can offer
a product that is better suited to the majority of our users
needs. Other benefits of the Homeowner Crittergetter as compared
to the Original Crittergetter are as follows:
By using a section of the Original Crittergetter
hose at the point of connection with the tailpipe, we are still
able to maintain the heat resistance of the Original
Crittergetter but remove the bulk and expense of the majority of
the Original Crittergetter hose by substituting it with our
lightweight plastic hose.
The Homeowner Crittergetter is easier to handle
and maneuver than the Original.
Our lightweight plastic hose has greater
flexibility than the Original Crittergetter hose.
50-foot sections of our lightweight hose are
available for the extension of your Crittergetter in length up to
150+ feet or for replacement of a damaged hose. Please see our
replacement/extension units & coupler kits. One coupler is
required per extension.
Our Homeowner Crittergetter is affordable.
100% customer satisfaction is very important to
us - If you are not satisfied with your Crittergetter for any
reason, please return it! See our
Return Policy for details.

Groundhogs are frustrating, especially when combined with your landscaping. What seems to make the damage done by these animals worse is the intelligence displayed by them when attempting to stop them: Groundhogs seam to learn to avoid and overcome traps, they hide and barricade themselves away from danger, they adapt to noise, and they learn to shun baits and poisons. Often adding even more frustration, is the common error of confusing your groundhog with some other sort of perpetrating animal, which typically causes the use of inappropriate products, and in turn, ineffective treatment. Considering all of these contributing factors, it's a wonder anyone is ever able to gain any sort of control over these animals. Use of the Crittergetter removes much of the contradiction and confusion created due to the differing types of treatment required for each individual critter, and unlike traps, poison baits, and most other pest control methods, the Crittergetter does not rely on any action from the groundhog or other pest to be effective. By delivering a fast moving, burrow-end reaching, 'non-pest specific' pressurized carbon monoxide gas, the Crittergetter, unlike many other products, will be effective regardless of what type of burrowing pest it comes up against because its quick delivery does not allow any critter the time to hide.
