Fw: Mr. Wood Chuck

I don't know if you can find them in the US but I used a product called "The
Giant Destroyer". This is a type of smoke bomb cartridge that looks like a
fireworks or something. You just cover all entrances except one then light
the fuse, stick it down the hole and cover the last hole with sod. Worked
good on my "hogs". (permanent solution).
Not sure if you want to kill the varmit or not but this will do it. You
could also do the same thing with a long hose from the tailpipe from your
car.
Better to be safe then sorry and exterminate  the vermin.
