Woodchucks Destroying Garden Party Plans: Fence, Trap, Exclude

Immediate Triage

• Hinder repellent = temporary at best.
• Havahart traps failing = trap-shy adults.

Real Solutions

1. Hire a pro – ICWDM → Professional Services for qualified trappers.
2. Exclude deck – after removal, install hardware-cloth skirt buried 12″.
3. Raise beds 3 ft on metal poles – woodchucks can’t climb smooth metal.

Don’t Seal Den Yet

Ensure all animals out first. One-way doors, then permanent exclusion.
