At that range, absolutely. A blank will blow a sizable hole in a rat or mole. People die every year from the perception that blanks are “safe”; aside from any barrel debris or wadding that may be ejected, they are still completely lethal at very close ranges because of the pressure wave.

So outside of being loud, expensive, messy, overkill, and dangerous, what is the downside? Actually, I kind of wish this did catch on for more grocery aisle acceptable type items. Like right next to rat poison and car air fresheners.
