How do I get rid of a ground hog?

[Plowboy]

Try a farm store. They used to make smoke bombs, don't know of they still do though. Pull top, put in hole, look for smoke coming out of other holes, fill all holes with dirt and bye, bye "chuck".

Get a dog.

Hey, the 4th of July is soon. There must be a store in Seabrook with all the firepower you need to finish the job. In fact, if you can hold the project off till the 4th, nobody will notice.

Or you can borrow my havahart trap that I bought to capture the cat I was watching for my mother while she travelled but let out anyhow.

Watch Caddyshack, plenty of good pointers in that flick.

i figured marc would have popped into this discussion for sure with some pointers!

Lots of good ideas. I'll buy a trap I think. Thankx

I have one that you can borrow. Works for cats too. If lived in Nashua, I'd leave it in Hudson.

The bomb method works great, you should be able to get one at any farm store. Make sure the critter is in the hole. Light bomb drop it in the hole fill hole with dirt look for second hole (smoke will give it away) fill it with dirt.

Second method is car exhust. Tape garden hose to exhust pipe and put down hole, fill with dirt, look for second hole and fill with dirt run car for 1/2 to 1 hour

problem solved

Exactly... Why can't you learn to live with it?
There must be better alternatives then killing the poor thing... I think it's important to learn to exist with the critters that live outside.. Unless they are threatining your existence... Then you gotta get rid of them...

Nothing worse then a bunch of guys get all pumped up talking about killing animals...

I had no plan on killing it just keeping my flowers and garden, ckofer had offered me his cage so we are cool.

Bob who do you plan on giving the large rodent to. I am sure they will be pleased to have it. Plus take it far far away as it has found a nice home in your garden and will likely return.

Growing up on a farm I used both the lead and the gas (both auto and bomb) solutions. The lead is more fun but the gas is more effective. They used to make better bombs thru the 70's but the damn envioremntalists got the good ones banned.

Dave back to therapy.

That's too funny!!!!!!

Bob you still didn't say who you are giving the nice loveable critter to.

Can gophers catch rabies?

That's one thing that makes me nervous about any wild animals I see in the neighborhood...
