Default Vegetable Garden and Woodchucks

Mel,

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a bit too Caddyshack for me. I know that
the woodchucks are living under my porch and I've set out havaheart traps
for them, but there are too many around here. I caught 6 last season and
more just keep showing up.

Your suggestion might work great in a field, but I don't think it would be
the best idea to "gas" my porch. While it might take care of the woodchuck
problem, I think I would have difficulty explaining it to my insurance
agent.

I appreciate your thoughts though. Thanks,

Stacey

A few years ago I had several dens of them. What we call (groundhogs). I
took the LP tank, regulator and hose off of my gas grill and let it run
about 15 min. in each den. I should not brag but I haven't had a one
since. I think the LP stays down in the den. I had to do something
because they was making dens where I mow with the tractor and was afraid
I would end upside down in the creek.
