Default A woodchuck under the trailer

I've got two access holes (about 6 or 7 inch diameter) leading under my
trailer. Finally saw a woodchuck, or groundhog, crawling under the
trailer.

I'm not all that pleased with the idea. How to take care of the critter?
Living in a mobile park, firearms, handguns, grendades, dynamite, and
anthrax spores are discourged. Though, high power lasers may be
acceptable
if used during the daytime.


A local radio guest named "the trapper" suggests killing them in the
hole and then closing the holes with whatever you have on hand. His method
consists of attaching a sock to the end of a length of stiff hose and
forcing it down the hole, then, first pour sodium hypochlorite, bleach,
down the hose followed by ammonia down the hose. The resulting gas,
chlorine, is heavier than air and will find its way to the bottom of the
hole and kill the critter right there, saving you the trouble of disposal
or burial.
I've used his method and it works.
Use common sense and avoid inhaling the vapors.
