Getting creatures out of a hole

thread title is one hyphen away from getting real weird.

I would personally use the same method I used for Mole eradication at my place......flood the main passages, then put some type of explosive in there......the compression shock should kill everything inside......even if it wasn't surrounded by water at that point.

Send in a terrier, it has worked for centuries.

Bonus points if you can capture Alan McNish.......he'd find whatever was in there.

Ooooh! I like the way you think!

In reply to 1988RedT2:

I had a severe mole problem, and it did screw my yard up a bit.....but a 2" mortar cannister wrapped in electrical tape took care of those berkeleyers......haven't had a mole since.

how do they hold up against armadillos and poisonous snakes? mine tears the crap out of rodents but he's never had a chance at larger or deadly game.

shotgun?

Finally, someone said shotgun!

Seriously, though...here's how these things work in the storybooks for children:

There's a mouse nobody likes...so they get a cat or 6.

Now the cats are nuissance...get some dogs.

Dogs are obnoxious...get a tiger.

Tiger?! WTF...get an elephant to scare off this damn tiger!

Now, of course, elephants are no good in any human habitat because they'll eat all the peanuts...and we CAN'T have that.

So...we need to get the elephant to leave...and the only thing that scares elephants is (naturally) mice.

Seems the mouse is much easier to live with after all that.

And along those lines...you can purchase a case of PBR, a case of shotgun shells, and two lawn chairs and Psteav and I will come take care of it for you. Good luck chasing off two drunk Missouri rednecks with shotguns, though, when we outstay our welcome.

This is sheer brilliance! You sir, should write for reality television, at least.

You could melt down an ls1 and use the molten aluminum...... it worked for these people with fire ants.

total badass

that would be a fantastic retirement job

oh, we ain't got no fire ants

There was a groundhog under our front deck, I duct taped down the top of a can of keyboard duster and chucked it under. Then blocked off the hole with some bricks and haven't seen the groundhog since. Pepper spray might do the trick too.

I'm surprised PETA hasn't been throwing a hissy fit over it.......

This is genius! Shhhh... now go to sleep groundhog...shhhh..

You're supposed to tie a string to them before you put them in the hole.

Fire ant casting, BRILLIANT! And, quite a beautiful result too.
