I though of poison pellets, but their burrows were too close to my well.
One of them actually broke out in my head pipe housing and filled it with
dirt. About that time I start thinking of dynamite....

I played hell with one awhile ago. I ended up throwing some poison
pellets down one of the holes and he disappeared.
I tried to drown him at first and my whole yard dropped an inch.


It was my last resort. I was worried about the dog.
We dont have a well.


I quit using the xylitol sweetened gum, as last time I put two in the
tunnel, he brought them up and spit them on the surface without a tooth mark
on them. Good thing the dogs didn't find them, as they are poisonous to
dogs.

That is a big consideration to pets, as some farmers/ranchers have different
attitudes towards pets than other people.
