Outside the front door at the corner of the house where the groundhogs live, I planted a sonar spike which beeps every 30 seconds. It needs to be recharged in the sun every few days. I hope this will scare them away, but also I put some poison bait out -- some cubes that are actually meant for mice but maybe they'll work. I'll try several more things too, but not fumigation since it may leak into the house.
One of the babies was trying his teeth on the front steps today. If I were a furrier I'd be really after those pelts, they're nice.
I nervously keep checking email for possible sales; otherwise the news is too much in my line of sight. Kim Jong Un reminds me of my groundhogs, all fat and velvety. I also find myself liking his long black jacket. Trump simply looks swollen and dropsical.
