2 Field mice and or Voles: confirmed

Here is what I think is a rabbit warren...I saw babies last year come out of a hole this size.

And saving the best for last, i haven't mowed the lawn in 3 weeks or more, went to the shed. I saw earlier this year my concrete pad crumbling , i thought it was Rain washing out the soil...till i found this pile of dirt.
Ground HOG????

Yup, that last one is a woodchuck/ground hog, depending on where you live. We trap most of our pests but you might consider using baits/poisons depending on your situation. And keep a .22 handy in case you see it.

Whatever they are they sure don't tip well.;)

Just putting a few ones out there isn't gonna do it; they're pretty greedy.

If you're gonna try to bribe them into leaving and going next door, I'd suggest fives or tens... and a note explaining yourself.

ROFL!! If they keep crapping dollar bills, I'd breed them!

BTW... seriously, this stuff is your friend: http://www.hardwareandtools.com/icat/blockbarnugpoison/

You need the RODENATOR. Fire in the hole!

I would try a leg hold trap for the woodchuck and some big rat traps for the other holes. chain the traps in the ground to keep the varmint from dragging them into the holes to die. While shooting them is always good, the traps will be on duty 24/7.

Well, they're not going after the money or the hand tools, so they can't be jewish or quaker. Maybe they're catholic, in which case a glass of whiskey might do the trick?

That is the thinnest concrete pad I have ever seen!

Chlorine tablets in hole add water cover hole with rock. Good bye.

Or you can piss in the hole. Mark your territory, they HATE that. I do it with chipmunks around my foundation. They move out quick.

Also works with women...

a couple of big and badass cat's will take care of all that

"Honey, what are you doing pissing on the shed?"

"Just marking my territory dear."

you can trap and or kill them but the real problem is that you have habitat that they like

that means new ones will move in soon!

if you can think of some way of eliminating what they like in your land that will fix it permanently.

what are they eating? do you have a vege. garden? big compost pile?

a pet weasel and badger will make them feel unwelcome with a vengeance.

Have you considered getting a dog?

i was going to recommend bubba and borris:D

That Rodenator is truly a "Hold my beer and watch this" kind of tool.
