If yiou can find a local pest control with a 'gopher getter" (I think
that's the name) it does a very good job. Pumps liquid ammonia
nitrate (fertilyzer) in. doesn't take much, it turns to gas and kills
almost instantly.

Turn it into a pet?

I met "Harriet" at an Audubon Society sanctuary near Pittsburgh - just kind
of ambling about, just doing her thing. Since we don't have those in Texas,
I offered to trade an armadillo for a ground hog. The executive director was
aghast!

"No way!" he said. "Can you imagine what would happen if an armadillo
wandered out in front of a little old lady walking our nature trails?"

As an aside, I did see one clever item at the Audubon Society. Take a
three-sided aquarium (you can find them next to the dumpsters at apartment
houses), line these three sides with one-way window film. Fashion a top and
mount the whole thing in your breakfast room window.

Open the top, dump in some bird seed, replace the top.

Presently, the little birdies will come to join you for breakfast! They see
only their reflection, but you see them, really up close.

As I understand, woodchuck bombs are to get em to the surface, so you can
shoot them. I tried a couple in a farmers field, one time. No woodchuck came
out.

My trailer had (past tense) a woodchuck. I got two buckets of rock from a
farmer's field. Lit a 15 minute highway road flare "fusee" and stuffed that
in the hole. Quick, dump two bucket of rocks in, and back fill with dirt. No
more woodchuck.

There's a woodchuck living under my shed. Bugger burrowed under the
wall into the lean-to, then dug front and back doors to his home under
the main shed.

We used to use "woodchuck bombs" to kill woodchucks in the fields.
These are just glorified smoke bombs, woodchuck sized. Haven't seen
one in 20 years, and don't remember how they worked.

I'd like to toss one in the hole under my shed and suffocate the SOB,
but I also don't want to set the shed on fire... Anybody know if these
smoke bombs actually burn with open flame, get really hot, or what?

You could put the bomb in a long pipe with one end closed and have
only the gas come out, since it burns like a flair maybe a 6ft pipe,
how about mothballs or amonia or a radio.

I like the pipe idea.

I've tried all the non-lethal remedies like mothballs, Irish Spring
soap, and a spice-based repellant concoction that's sold by Home
Depot. The little bastard took a shower with the soap, packed his
winter clothes with the mothballs, and used the repellant to season
his food!!!
