Is a woodchuck the same thing as a groundhog? My brother-in-law claims to
have caught as many as a dozen in a season using peanut butter for bait.
He also recommends touching the trap as little as possible so it doesn't
get any human smell. I think he even leaves his outside when he's not
using it.
We have two dogs, and are fortunate (?) to have a really loud one behind
us. I think the combination keeps most four-legged pests away. If I could
just get the birds to stop pecking holes in the strawberries and peaches
we'd be in good shape.
