Hello. We have a ground hog family living near the garden. They like
to eat everything. will a few moth balls down the hole do the trick or are they too toxic? Thank you, Darrell Ulm |

something compelled Darrell Ulm , to say: Hello. We have a ground hog family living near the garden. They like to eat everything. will a few moth balls down the hole do the trick or are they too toxic? I've been given to believe that dog shit will work well. And it's organic. -- Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats. - Howard Aiken |

Trapping and careful fencing are the only non-toxic, non-fatal solutions that I can vouch for. As for killing groundhogs, shooting is very effective when done by someone skilled. If you can run them into one of their midday bolthole / bivouac burrows, gassing works pretty well (use 2-3 Giant Destroyer smoke bombs taped to the end of a bamboo pole and fill in the entrance). This is less effective on a full burrow complex, because they have several entrances, including some that are hidden (no fan of fresh dirt).

Not much for web design, but very informative.) -- Pat in Plymouth MI "So, it was all a dream." "No dear, this is the dream, you're still in the cell." email valid but not regularly monitored |

Thank you, Darrell Ulm I've been using fox and coyote urine this year. I haven't seen any groundhogs this season so it's possible that the stuff works. This is a single data point which isn't enough to prove anything but it's worth a try. |

I bought it at a garden center. It's not liquid, it's essentially kitty litter that's soaked in urine. It comes in a shaker bottle. |
