Chasing away/killing critters digging holes in our yard

Posted by blueman on October 7, 2009, 11:22 pm

This year we noticed a number of animal holes in our yard (we live in
a near city suburb). I think they are squirrel holes.

The holes are ugly and mess up the lawn.

I wouldn't mind killing them or chasing them far away since I don't
want them to nest anywhere on our property -- and certainly don't want
them tunneling into our attic.

Any suggestions?
Would rat poison work?

Note we are way too urban to use things like guns and I don't want to
use anything that will turn our yard into a Superfund cleanup site. On
the other hand, I have nothing against accepted methods of
chasing/killing animals.

The movie "Caddyshack" would be a good reference for you :-)

1. Bait Hav-a-hart trap with raw sunflower seeds, unshelled.

2. While in the cage, drown the squirrel, or stab it with a long,
sharpened metal rod.

3. Repeat as required.

Gas it to death with auto exhaust.
