   We've had a problem recently with a woodchuck (ground hog) eating my wife's   
   hot pepper plants and the hostas she planted around the oak out front. I   
   bought a gopher bomb and threw it down the burrow this afternoon. We'll see if   
   it works. I have some fox    
   urine spray to put out there tomorrow; I bought it to put around the traps   
   when I had coyote problems last year. Didn't work.
