Not sure why they called them woodchucks,
they’ve never been a problem, to my knowledge, in the area of throwing wood;
can’t say I’ve ever seen them mess up anything made of wood. They tunnel under
it, or around it, but I’ve never had them eat through it.
The
tunneling is the biggest annoyance. Being a sizable animal it needs a sizeable
hole, which means a sizeable mound of dirt.
If you find that you’re playing host or hostess to one of these fur coated digging machines know that you have options.
Country
folks have one more option than city dwellers; but just know that you only have
one chance, after that even the squeak of the door and they’re gone.
City people
must resort to less cacophonous forms of control.
Used kitty
litter tops the chart when wanting them to mosey on down the road. Evidently,
the woodchuck cannot differentiate between “Mittens” your declawed overweight
house cat and a man-eating Puma; to them both gifts dropped from the south end
of a north bound feline, register as a dangerous predator that should be given
a wide berth.
To employ
this method just dump it into the hole they’ve started, and sprinkle some of
the rest next to any other spot that looks to be a good place to dig.
They are a
nuisance that nobody wants to attract; they undermine with good intentions, and
can make your property look like an artillery range.
