why the elbow? which end do you stick in the ground and do you think
it would work with chipmunks and groundhogs (yes, I know I'll need a
bigger tube!)
Cheryl:
Lay the pipe on the ground....don't stick it in the ground........all 12
inches laying flat with one end at or very near a vole hole. The
elbow creates
the turn into darkness and the vole feels safe as though he were in a tunnel.
Also helps keep the bait in the pipe.
Chips might eat the bait and croak but I imagine they are a bit too large for
1 1/2 inch pipe; groundhogs would need a 10 inch pipe and bait of similar
size.
Ah - dawn over marble head.
Here the chipmunks and the voles seem to share the same runs.
Now - to go buy some 10 inch pipe!
