KREM 2 News in Spokane reports that Spokane City Council Member Bob Apple says that "the Rodenator Company used Spokane for publicity". I wonder if Bob is aware that the City of Spokane purchased the equipment in 2004 and just started to use it in 2009. How is it that we here at Rodenator used the City of Spokane for some free PR? The fact is that the City of Spokane purchased the Rodenator in 2004 to take care of a burrowing pest problem and did not use it until 2009. We did not have prior contact with the city prior to the news stories. I think Councilman Apple is looking for a scapegoat. I think the mere fact is that Mr. Apple did not like the publicity that the city was getting and is trying to shift any focus from the city to Rodenator.
KREM could have done a little bit better job in my opinion of getting the real story.

It is no secret that the Rodenator is an exciting device that people love watching in action. This fall the Rodenator will be in a new 7 episode TV Reality Show. Currently the ideas are being put together and a filming schedule is getting booked. Few details are available at this time, I will keep this blog updated as more information comes in.

As the former district sales manager of a now defunct Internet business, the last place Mark Ayers expected to find himself was in the pest control business, hunting gophers before daybreak. Yet he recently found himself on a Healdsberg, California vineyard, the protector of 650 Zinfandel vines.
The gophers, which voraciously dine on plant roots and can produce up to three litters of young a year, lay entrenched in tunnels beneath Ayers' feet across 2.5 acres of terraced vineyard. Wielding a wandlike device that injects a mix of propane and oxygen into the pests' burrows then ignites it, Ayers took the fight to the troublesome varmints.

Welcome to the Rodenator Blog
I'm Ed Meyer, the Rodenator. My company, Meyer Industries makes the Rodenator Pro in Midvale, Idaho where I also serve as the mayor. We're helping land owners proactively kill and bury their burrowing pest problems in a quick, effective and satisfying manner. If you've tried traps, poisons or homemade solutions to your burrowing pest problem and you still feel helpless, we provide the solution.
Just recently, I received a call from a couple of English gentlemen who bought a vineyard in Paso Robles, California. They had a real problem with ground squirrels and gophers. I was surprised to hear that these two gentlemen were the producers of many hit reality television shows, Ken Warwick and Nigel Lythgoe.
I jumped at the opportunity to show the Rodenator Pro in action and drove my RAV (Rodent Assault Vehicle) to their vineyard and helped them take care of their problem. Nigel wasn't too sure about using this bunker buster to kill the pests, but when he understood that the death is instant, unlike traps and poisons, he was on board.
All of this was recorded for Ken and Nigel's new show, Corkscrewed: the Wrath of Grapes which is showing on Fox Reality Channel. It was a great experience to be featured prominently in the third episode which is also available on iTunes.
