How do you get rid of woodchucks?

they get on my walkway and eat my pansy.

How do you get rid of woodchucks?
yes it does sound very obvious but you have to get rid of the wood they are living in. If it is a neighbors yard ask them to assit you. I would spray the plants daily with a cyanne pepper and water mix. other then that, at one time in Rochester NY my then husband sat out in the yard near the garden with a bow and arrow, lol, and waited for him. Good Luck
Reply:Try sprinkling hot pepper flakes around your plants. It will not permanently get rid of them but if you keep the pepper around the plants they will not bother them. It will usually last 2 weeks unless it rains really hard. I've used this for chipmunks and squirrels and it has really worked for me.
Reply:Fertilize or line your pansies with blood meal. Works for most herbivores and cats. They smell blood, assume it's fresh, and don't want to risk a predator.


Otherwise, I'm inclined to agree with the other guy. A 22 is what my parents always used when we lived in a rural area.
Reply:buy some sub-sonic .22 shells and shoot them...low noise and will kill them if you hit them in the head...i've shot 3 so far and i live in town...make sure you have a safe backdrop...
