Wildlife Removal - Traps set for ground hogs in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey

t was time to set some traps. I placed two traps, one on each side of the burrow hole where the ground hog had started digging.  The homeowner told me that she had also seen the groundhog snooping around under the bird feeder. When baiting, it's always helpful to use the same or similar food that the animal is used to eating in that area. This way they won't suspect that anything is amiss or unusual. When the bait is just more of the same, the animals often let down their guard. Because this groundhog was eating bird seed, I happened to carry around a bait that I knew would hit the spot, called Groundhog "Kokaine." This granular bait is a mixture of seeds and grains that groundhogs simply can't resist. As a wildlife specialist, I never wanted to be a "Kokaine" distributor, but this stuff works amazingly well! I always put organic materials like mulch, dried grass, dirt on the floor of the trap to project a familiar environment for the animal. In addition to the "Kokaine," I used some cabbage and Chuckster paste bait in a hanging basket to heighten the scent. I'm confident that this combination of bait and lures will be too irresistible for even the most cautious and wary groundhog, and that this yard and paver destroying critter will soon be trapped. I will check on the status of the traps in a couple of days, and told the homeowner to contact me immediately once any critters are trapped.
