CO is lighter than air and the exhaust smell would give it away. Pure CO might be a different story. I like the CO2 idea. But, that is just a chemist's thoughts. John

Poke some down their holes and shovel some earth over the holes. They retreat further down the holes to get away from you and the CO2 is heavier than air and it flows down the holes and suffocates them.

Sound like a great idea. Have to ask around and see if one of these stores around here has some. We have it at work, but it's about a 40 minute drive, and it will be in the 90's by the time I get off work. Might survive the drive in a cooler, but not so sure about a car full of CO2 (it'll escape one way or another). Anybody ever blow up a 2-liter bottle with dry ice? It's awesome, and a little dangerous.

Use polystyrene foam packaging to insulate the dry ice, keep the car windows open and you'll be alright.

Since I'll be traveling with a cooler of ice, might as well stop off and get some beer... Wonder if dry ice is to cold...
