» Doug428 - Wood chucks- Groundhogs are eating my wifes small Rose bushes! Help, we just bought a home in a village trying to cohabit with woodchucks or groundhogs, one in the same right?...Twice my Buds have been eaten during the day. No fingerprints for the culprit but the Chuckster has been spotted on many occasions. Recently I have spread Manalgonite (sp) and fenced in the bushes. I have moth crystals at the ready. The fence is not buried but well staked. Will onions and garlic help too...The bushes are young and 15" tall. I want to keep my Roses and My wife, can you help?-- posted by Doug428 » fanny_role - Mammals in the Garden There are a lot of different remedies out there. I used an ultrasonic device to chase the rodents out of my garden (I didn't want to hurt the little fellow, just chase them away). It's solar powered so you don't have to wire anything at all. I bought mine online from a company called MHS Solar at http://mhs-solar.com-- posted by fanny_role » CarolWallace - Wildlife You might want to ask Stephen Vantassel, our Living with Wildlife editor - this is just up his alley!-- posted by CarolWallace » anniel - groundhogs Interplanting with repellant plants like onions and garlic may help, but what I like to use is something called DEER OFF...comprised of things like rotten eggs, hot sauce, garlic, and some other secret goodies, this stuff is sprayed on...has no bad odor....smells like a salad bar actually :-) and is very effective. Easily found online...give it a try-- posted by anniel
