<div class="quote-block">DENVER - Colorado's Wildlife Commission voted Thursday to allow private landowners to control prairie dog populations by using an explosive device.<br><br><br><br>
Many farmers and ranchers were hoping commissioners would make it legal to use a device called the Rodenator.<br><br><br><br>
It blows an explosive mix of propane and oxygen into a burrow. A spark then ignites the gases.<br><br><br><br>
"I think it's important for people to know this is not a recreational device. This is a device for agricultural producers here in Colorado," said Division of Wildlife spokesperson Tyler Baskfield.<br><br><br><br>
