Dave, that is a sad story. I've stopped with the apples. I had a wild thought-since I'm only suspecting that the groundhog from under my shed is the "The Gnawer" & I can clearly see where he enters & exits, What do you think would happen if I placed a mirror at that spot? Would he be traumatised enough to go to a new location? Someone is supposed to loan me a Have a hart trap next week.

Was speaking to a neighbor and she said she had the same problem last year. One morning she put 2 pieces of bread in the toaster, & before pushing it down, she went to the bathroom. When she came back-one piece was gone! Of course there is the possibility she's delusional. Her gnawer just went away.

Thanks once again folks.
