Groundhogs are taking taking over our yard, especially the strip of lawn between us and our neighbor in the front. We’ve been told that professional exterminators are expensive, so I thought I’d try digging down about 3 inches in order to disrupt the entry to their tunnels. Maybe they’ll get the idea they’re no longer welcome and find somewhere else to burrow.
The yard will look a bit torn up for awhile, but I see it as only a first step. Next step: Rodenticide, blocks of which I’ll shove into the their holes.
If anything, it’s good exercise.
