Hello all:
I have encountered a problem this year with
groundhogs tearing apart my peach trees to get to the fruit. They stand
up and tear low lying limbs and apparently climb the trees to get to the fruit
(I haven't actually seen them up in the trees, but there have been to
many branches broken off and torn up to be a coincidence, and one of my 10
year olds said she did see a groundhog up in a tree). I have tried
have-a-heart traps with relocation a couple miles away, and a BB gun, but they
now run at the first sign of movement near the house. I have thought
about putting D-Con rat poison out but I don't know if it is effective or
legal. Does anyone have any suggestions about how
to get rid of these pests? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks. Chris Patterson
