I've been filling chuck holes. Last couple days, I've filled three
tunnels under my trailer skirting. Two holes in the ground behind the
trailer.

Today there is a new hole. About 4 inch diameter. I ran the garden
hose into the hole, and turned on for about five minutes. No signs of
filling up. So, it must be a pretty big cavern.

Being in a trailer park, it's not legal to shoot. I called the park
office, and now I'm on the list to use the Havahart trap. They trap
and release.

Have checked out several web pages. They suggest coyote or fox urine
(and have some for sale) or various types of trap. All for sale.

Any cheap and easy answers come to mind?

Here is a typical picture I found on the web:

You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.

What you can do, if you want to use urine, go to your local Wally Mart and
in the hunting section you should be able to find urine for about 4.00. You
can demand removal from your TP office. THey have to provide you with a SAFE
living environment. THey should be willing to call in a professional. They
cannot expect the homeowner to set and maintain traps.

I did call the TP (toilet paper; trailer park; same diff) and they
said they had a "several week waiting list" for the Havahart Trap.
Critters caught in said trap are released. Sounds about as effective
as using a spaghetti strainer to try to bail a boat.

Yep, and I guarantee that anyone living *near* the release point would
scream bloody murder if they knew it. These varmints rank sufficiently high
on the vermin scale that there is no closed season on them in Penna. Too
bad you live in such a close community because there are sulphur bombs
available at most feed stores which will suffocate the monstrous rodents.
But, it stinks too much and could be a fire hazard if something/ somebody
malfunctioned in its use.

Around here (CT) it's illegal to catch an animal then release it on
somebody else's property.
