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?

Bow and arrow?

I spent years trying to protect my garden from woodchucks. The best
defense was fence material installed about 3' around the garden AND
horizonally around the garden. To that I had to add an electric fence,
battery operated, about a foot off the ground. That worked quite well
but cost around $60. That makes the veggies a tad bit expensive!

I located the holes, there are always at least 2, and filled them with
alternate layers of plastic shopping bags and egg-size gravel. The
nasty criters have a hard time digging through the layers.

No wood chucks have been seen in over a year!!! Good luck

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.

Send a contingent (2) of your missionaries under there with tracts in
hand. The woodhcuck will haul ass and never return.

Stormin Mormon 29-08-2005 06:08 PM

Would that I could -- at least move to some place legal to shoot the
critters.

Illegal to transport? That's a new one on me. My Dad tried to "get the
squirrel out of the yard" with a havhart trap. And a friend of my Dad's
tried shooting the squirrel. The friend is a military vet, and lives in the
country. Dad quit after some number of squirrels, and the other fellow quit
after 300. Neither made much progress.

Now, if they coulda been selling the tails for a buck a piece?

I've had other suggestions, such as lime, concrete, and smoke bombs. Will
certainly try a mixture of these ideas.

Thank you for a great idea, about the shopping bags.

I don't know... it's HIS trailer. Think he knows enough to not screw his own
stuff up? I would think he would capture it with a robe or aim the comet at
it.

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