1. A method for using expanding growing medium, comprising: providing an expanding growing medium having: a superabsorbing polymer; anda non-composting coir bulking agent, where the non-composting coir bulking agent includes coir dust and coir fibers;wherein said superabsorbing polymer and said non-
1. A method for using expanding growing medium, comprising: providing an expanding growing medium having: a superabsorbing polymer; anda non-composting coir bulking agent, where the non-composting coir bulking agent includes coir dust and coir fibers;wherein said superabsorbing polymer and said non-composting coir bulking agent are compressed into a shape that is maintained until hydration of said expanding growing medium;inserting said expanding growing medium to limit passage of existing animals within a tunnel in communication with a pest nesthydrating the expanding growing medium within the tunnel. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said expanding growing medium comprises between 50% and 95% superabsorbing polymer. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising a pest repelling scent. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said pest repelling scent comprises one of bleach, naphthalene, vanilla, cinnamon, peppermint, garlic, cayenne or other hot chilies/peppers, curry, cumin, urine, castor oil, sweet flag, lavender, pennyroyal, or citronella. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising nutrients. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said expanding growing medium further comprises approximately 85% superabsorbing polymer, approximately 14% non-composting coir bulking agent, and approximately 1% rodent repelling scent. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said superabsorbing polymer comprises a starch based polymer. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising a surfactant or emulsifier. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said superabsorbing polymer and said non-composting coir bulking agent are compressed at a compression ration greater than 3:1 relative to a mixed uncompressed state. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said compressed growing medium is not hydrophobic and maintains a compressed shape without a water soluble binder until hydrated. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said growing medium is compressed into a wafer, pellet, brick, slab, cube, sphere, cord, cylinder triangle, or irregular shape. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising a fertilizer, nutrients, a pesticide, an insecticide, or a fungicide. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising seeds. 14. A method of using a pest infested orifice growing medium, comprising: providing a non-composting coir bulking agent, where the non-composting coir bulking agent includes coir dust and coir fibers;adding a superabsorbing polymer to said non-composting bulking agent;compressing said non-composting coir bulking agent and said superabsorbing polymer from a volume-to-volume ratio of about 2:1 to a volume-to-volume ratio of about 15:1;inserting said compressed bulking agent and said superabsorbing polymer that form a compressed growing medium into a pest orifice that contains a nest and maintains said compressed state until hydrated. 15. The method of making said growing medium of claim 14, wherein said superabsorbing polymer comprises between 50% and 95% of said compressed growing medium. 16. The method of making said growing medium of claim 14, wherein said superabsorbing polymer comprises about 85% of said compressed growing medium. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the expanding growing medium blocks access to the nest located within the pest orifice when hydrated.
