how do you kill grown hogs with tanirite, get it low in the hole and still hit it? tried it last year didn't seem to work

Ground hog holes are very complex sometimes.I dug out a hole one time with a backhoe to rescue a baby goat that went down into one.It was amazing how many levels and tunnels it had running.Did get the baby goat out in fine shape but had a hole in the ground about 10 ft square and 5 ft deep.

My grandpa always used a bottle of ammonia. He would dump it down the hole and the groundhogs would not come back.

He also tried flooding them out with a water house, but that was not as permanent.

place it next to the hole and when the pig walks by shoot it. It will blow him to pieces, or at least it will with squirrels!

dont know,,but they sure can do damage,,the undermined the old shed foundation years ago

Ihad to put a footing,,and fix the whole foundation,,they made a lot of work and they are hard to get rid of for sure

,,I have a neighbor that hunts the woods,,he sets conibear traps now whenever the groundhogs come near the old shed

I try to cover all the holes but one, and then pour gas in the last one and cover it. Either than or connect the truck exhaust to it

House across the road had a bunch move in under the back porch. They called an animal control guy......he plugged all the holes except for one, then blocked it off with a live trap. He caught 8 before they quit.

I asked what he used for bait......no bait.....just block off the hole so there is no other way out.

Buzzard buffet!

This is what I use on prairie dogs and gophers. No more prairie dogs, still working on the gophers. About 20 mins of monoxide and move on to another hole. Got it from Gopher Heaven Dot Com.

Slick repair, Larry! I vote for conibear also. I wiped out a whole family of them last year with one trap.

My cousin has a problem with them under a building. For the last 2 years a trapper has been catching them in live traps using cantelope as bait. They blocked off most of the holes under the building by putting wire under some gravel around the foundation. They keep digging out a couple places. I think he gets the little ones but not the reproducing moms. They really make a mess under a building especially if you have dirt floors. I think it is tough to get vapers back in the tunnels due to the construction.

sulpher bombs I sell them for 6.95 pack of 4 works every time

Year back I use to hunt them on our family farm
but since the Coyote population had grown here in Pennsylvania
we now have no Groundhogs , very fee to say the least .

I don't know about that method. Dad used to plug the holes and leave one open and flood it with water. Then we would wait at the open hole with a couple shovels. Left them with a nasty headache and worked every time !

Neighbor used to empty a slurry tank in them. Teen age son stood by with his pump gun.

Hey, that's the same way I do it. I dump a barrel of water over at the hole.
