I'm not all that pleased with the idea. How to take care of the

dynamite, and anthrax spores are discourged. Though, high power lasers
may be acceptable if used during the daytime.

Live trap em' and take them to the park.

May not be legal. Check your state's law.

(Illegal where I'm at - MI)

Speeding or spitting on the sidewalk may not be legal either, check your
laws..

Speeding and spitting are more likely to be civil infractions. The trapping
of wild animals in one area and then taking them somewhere else is a
misdemeanor (at least here in MI).

Other than that, your argument is weak. Lots of things are against the law.
That doesn't mean that laws are to be ignored.

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.

Heh, leve the groundhogs under your trailer then.

A live trap and a sweet potato.
They can make interesting pets.
I had a client that had one that would come in the house through the cat's
door and open the refrigerator to get at the vegetables.
Whenever a stranger came it would hide in the closet.

I don't live in a trailer. Where I live I can still shoot pests.

Too bad Stormin Mormon and Doug Kanter don't live within 'range' of you.

Suggest you move. The woodchuck always wins. LOL I'm currently using a
hav-a-art trap with some success but a DEC person told me it is illegal to
transport them so I still have to shoot them (in the trap) and put them in
the garbage. A neighbor suggested I gas them (in the trap) with auto
exhaust.

Live trap them, fill a kiddie pool with water, throw trap in water. No
need to shoot holes in your trap for nothing.

All this hub-bub about moving an animal- BFD. It might be against the
law, but what is worse: moving an animal to a remote area or killing
it? Give your ticket for relocating an animal (good luck even getting
one) to PETA and let them fight it out.

I have NEVER heard of anyone actually getting a ticket for animal
relocation.

You might check what the fine would be. I know it would be more than what I
would want to pay. AFA which is worse between relocating a pest animal or
killing it - I would have to say relocation is worse. What some people
would consider a remote area others might consider their neighborhood. Why
make your problem someone else's?
