We have an acorn tree near our shed, and the groundhog likes acorns.
It also lives under the shed. Nothing I put in the hole or around it makes it leave. I once poured mothballs down the hole and later found them in a pile a few feet away from the opening.
I worry about the foundation of the outbuilding.
When we had a dog, which was 15 years ago, we didn't have trouble with things like groundhogs, but this one moved in a few years after the dog died, and it, or its offspring, has been there ever since.
but he's just so cute!
ReplyDeleteI can make him leave if you like. Just let me know. I need a shovel and a flare.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!! You could call someone to remove him to some woods somewhere, far far away. There are companies that do it humanely.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute and fat! I have them too. I worry about the horses stepping into one of their holes and breaking a leg. I kept emptying the wheelbarrow full of manure into the hole that worried me most. It took a while but finally they abandoned that hole. That's funny about the moth balls. Reminds me of a cartoon.
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable! I haven't seen any of our local groundhogs in a couple months now. Won't be long before they're hibernating.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is one of the few good reasons to have a dog. Groundhogs are very cute and quite destructive.
