Forget Anti-Freeze; Forget D-Con; Try Fly Bait
Way Back Jack
treat of peanut butter and D-Con pellets. But I know that they made
their rounds last night because of the fresh piles of coon shit.
Google search reveals high praise for fly-bait, generic: methomyl,
brand: Golden Malrin. Poultry farmers swear by it. Mix a soft-drink
(not diet) with fly bait crystals in an aluminum pie plan. Raccoons
die within minutes, sometimes flopping into the plate. It *will* kill
anything that samples it, buy there are mixed opinions as to whether
cats or dogs would sample it. To be safe, I'll keep the damn dumb cat
inside or else locked-in on the screened-in deck.

Bloggers say that it kills groundhogs and opossums.

No problem for me to believe it. Cats are part of humanity. Raccoons
are the enemy.

Cat-haters just don't get it. Cats are pest-control agents. Working
animals. Part of humanity. Adorable.

I'm cat owner, have been for over half a century. Inside cats, outside
cats, cats that we've adopted and cats that have adopted us.
But Part of humanity? Adorable? Gimme a break.
My current cat kills more rabbits, chipmunks and birds than any real
"pests".
Watching her batting a wounded chipmunk around, finding dead rabbits
in the garage and cleaning puked up half-birds off the driveway is far
from "adorable".
None of this means I want to get rid of her, but she is by no means
"part of humanity". No cat, dog, fish, turtle or lizard I've owned
ever has been.

I do believe Bobo is on to something. High fructose sody pop is killing
the rest of us, why not groundhogs and raccoons. Open a six-pack, and
leave it for them, and let them get obese, type II diabetes. That'll fix
their wagons. It's the real thing ;O))

learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and
find out for themselves.

Especially when they spray urine on your herbs or poop in the flower
bed. Simply adorable.

Did you try the Golden Malrin with soda mix and did it work? I have a colony
of groundhogs living under my shed/garden and destroying my veggies and yard!
I've put out bowl of apple cider mixed with antifreeze- don't know yet if it's
working...too soon to tell.

Wait seven years like Way Back Jack did and you won't have any groundhogs
either. I don't that they're that long lived.
