Duuude: I made it a policy this year as a third year grower that if anything can harm my pumpkins--it dies!!!

Insect sprays, anti-fungals, mouse traps, poison, rat traps, live traps for squirrels, raccoons, opossums...well, you get the idea.

Try baiting traps with sunflower seeds in peanut butter--works for a large number of herbivores.

Good luck.

And to think I used to be a pacifist.LOL.

Nothing caught yet..I put the trap at the front of the hole and buried it so, it has to go into the trap..perhaps this critter has found a new home.

lol Linus!!!!!!!!!!,,

or you could try this,,, make sure you seal any of its escape holes up, then back you ATV, tractor, or Truck up to the hole, but a hose on the end of your muffler and the other end into entry hole, then start your engines! put it into la la land for good,

Great ideas guys..so far no critter in the trap..perhaps its the one I caught in the rat trap a month ago. Not sure how long the hole in the sweet tater patch has been there. Ahhhhh, country life!
