Another possible problem with eating fruit is woodchucks. I also trap em
every year, cut pears or lettuce works well. The problem with simply taking
them for a ride is that:
A. I hear they don't relocate well, suffer & die in new areas, but am not
sure about this.
B. The area you dump them in probably don't want em either! A friend told
me he knew a guy who kept trapping them - 30 a year - so finally called the
humane society. The told him to take them out to such & such road - which
happened to be his own property.
You may also get possums and racoons accidentally. In many areas, it is
illegal to transport racoons, as there is a chance of spreading disease.
The "Final solution" may wait til next year, as I have the back garden fenced
in already, and as soon as I rebuild the main yard fence - a dog will be in
order.
