How do I get rid of an unwanted house guest?

[chickencoop31320]

The humane thing to do would be to sit down with dear Mr. Woodchuck and explain that he's destroying your home and making you upset.
Kindly ask him with heartfelt words to vacate your premises as quickly and quietly as possible.





If that doesn't work, buy some rat poison and some lye to cut the smell when he passes

Don't get me wrong but I don't think this would work. My grandfather had a big ol groundhog that lived under his barn. He "took care" of the babies and the ground hog got him back by killing his beloved cat. He witnessed it.

I got a dog, a black lab boxer mix, to fix my mole problems, she also fixes my coon, G/H, and rat problems... I just have to clean up afterward when she drops them off on my back porch,

. And I thought my cats were bad about the things they caught...
Anyways, she is a really great dog, the only problem no is that we've moved and she's chased all of the mole from the backyard into the front.

Maybe a live trap filled with mothballs then?

EEEEWWWWW! Can't be that neat if they sink up to their elbows in dog poo!

I mean, seriously, a ground hog?

Google "woodchuck recipes." I think stewed or fried would be best.
Maybe some sweet potatoes on the side.

Live trap, or shoot it. Got one today, good old 22.

Well...so far the DH urine and the mothballs in conjunction seem to be working...even Obelisk doesn't want to be out there...sigh.
