I've got one of those noise devices and I ordered another. But neighbors have had luck with the havahart traps, so I will probably have to go that route. Thanks for the link.

The problem with trapping and relocating is that the resident animals are all territorial and the new animal dropped off is left in a hostile environment. Also some animals will travel a long way to go back to their home territory. ...Michelle Hi Leora..I found a link with some really practical suggestions for dealing with the ground hog or wood chuck. pest control with ground hogs or wood chucks.

Beavers can create problems although that one looks so cute in your shot. Too funny about carpooling. Your echinacea is so beautiful and I love the sparrows.

I especially love the sparrow shot as they my favorite little guys and nothing compares to their simple song. Lovely flowers in your neighborhood–the echinacea are wildly blooming here too.

We found out the hard way that groundhogs like roses. So we've put groundhogs on the 'Not Welcome' list with the deer. I definitely like your sparrow and flowers, but I can do without the groundhog.
