AFC Totton tore apart nine-man Bradford Park Avenue to progress to round two.
The visitors had Richard Marshall sent off before Jonathan Davies's drive and a Michael Gosney penalty made it 2-0.
Adam Clayton pulled one back from close range before a Michael Charles tap in, Gosney's neat strike and substitute Stefan Brown's finish made it 5-1.
Martin Drury then saw red for Bradford, but Totton showed no mercy as Brown scored twice to complete his hat-trick and Davies finished the scoring.
