I have a groundhog living under my deck.
Groundhogs (AKA Woodchucks) are typically burrowers. The average groundhog has been estimated to move approximately 1 m3 (35 cu ft), or 320 kg (710 lb), of dirt when digging a burrow. I figure my groundhog is just plain lazy.
As you can imagine, I really don’t want to share my deck with a groundhog, so I googled “how to get rid of groundhogs”. Here are some of the results…..
1. Sprinkle cayenne or other hot pepper on their route!
My groundhog asked for chips to go with it.
2. Get a .22 and shoot him!
He was better armed!
3. Pipe exhaust from your automobile via a garden hose!
He was ready with a mask!
4. Sic your dogs on him!
Self explanatory!
5. My number one favorite……Just show him his shadow!
That darn groundhog is ready for everything!
Until someone comes up with a better solution, I guess I am going to have to live with the guy. Maybe some day he will even prove to be useful….
