Re: Woodchuck war
Hello,
If you are having trouble aiming the heavy artillery, make attempts to
drive them out and away as well.
Borrow a large mean dog and tie him out next to the garden. Fill the
woodchuck holes with ammonia and cover up the entrance (be generous, it is
cheap). You can also fill their entrances with the dirtiest cat litter
you can find, and flush it down with a hose. Be sure to block all the
holes so the stink saturates their home.
Then of course, you can always place a comfortable chair with a good line
of sight on the garden, keep a cool drink by your side, and your artillery
in your lap.
Be mean, be devious, they deserve no less. Imagine that their droppings
in your garden are adding deadly ecoli to your diet. With that in mind,
do they deserve a break??!!
Regards,
Tom
