Can't deport them ? . . . . then we gas them .

 

More evil critter carnage .

 

After I wrapped the bases of the fence posts in aluminum they simply went for the caps .

And as if that was not enough the bastards went for the PVC brick mold on the garage doors too .

So I borrowed mom's trap as my home made one was too small for much more than a chipmunks , but it seems gray number one managed to get himself caught .

Though its a better fit for reds . Number one is on his way .

As was red number two an hour later .

And chipmunk number nine .

Then I saw this around the back of the garage . Seems a woodchuck decided to make his new home under the slab .

So I cleared my junk out of the way , dug a trench and set my big trap so he had no choice but to go through it . But three days later still no joy . And then yesterday I found another spot further up where he had dug another hole under the slab .

So no more Mr nice guy. A couple glowing charcoal embers, an oily rag and my heat gun in a piece of duct to gas the bastard out .

All it got me was a melted heat gun . I pretty sure he was not home in either hole .

My big cage now available to continue with the deportations , gray number two goes for a ride today .

 I am fairly sure I know why Mr Woodchuck was digging under my garage . Seems the gay boys across the street decided to get rid off their old tool shed and he was looking for a new abode .
