|
I know of at least one maybe two
there have been several sightings in the backyard and a hole chewed in my garage door
and a few in my front flowerbed closest to the house surrounding my porch going under the porch trampling/chewing on my tender vegitation
I tried "live traps" two years ago and they didn't work
derned varmits wouldn't go into them
Please Help!!!

I guess rabbit litter will not work the same. Do you have a friend or neighbor with a cat? Can you get a cat from a shelter? Probably the cat will cause as many problems as the groundhog though.

No I don't think Bunny litter would be the same since I use cedar bedding for Valentine's litter box
I don't know anyone who has a cat and I am allergic so I can't get one
(plus I am not a cat person)
Dooley I just went and found the other thread you were talking about guess there is nothing I can do

You could move to Norway. We haven't got groundhogs.

Maybe I could send you my gray squirrels, Bluewolf?
They are digging up my planters hiding the filberts they are stealing. Might as well add to your Doolittle home.
