>The Ground-Hawg is back . Pat and I saw it when we were driving by the >chile patch a weekend ago. For quick and effective groundhog control, Dr. Dave recommends a dose of lead administered between the eyes of the varmint. Sometimes, though, the side effects (pissed neighbors, for example) makes this treatment difficult. A friend of mine had a serious groundhog problem last year. We strung an electric fence around her garden, and the hogs went elsewhere for their meals. A 6-volt battery-operated model will electrify a 25-mile perimeter. The most expensive part is the controller at about $65. === Dave Sacerdote davesas@ntplx.net Resist or Serve.
