How can I rid my garden of whistle pigs?

live trap, release a good 10 mile from home.

sounds like a plan-thanks

A good dog will get rid of them.

Here in RI we call them woodchucks. They are very hard to control as very easily spooked. I have had some success live trapping them using cabbage leaves smeared with peanut butter, as well as their favorite, cantaloup.

The problem using the cabbage and peanut butter is you will also catch squirrels.

Whistle pigs as you know them burrow into the ground for a home and usually have two or sometimes 3 access holes.

Place the trap right in front of their hole. They also will have a litter so like I said they are hard to eradicat.

Beware, check your wildlife regulations in your state because in our's it is illegal to relocate wildlife, also these animals are a target species for rabies, which it is fatal to contract!

If you do relocate it a minimum of 10 miles away and don't make a problem for someone else.

A good size dog works great as long as he runs loose, barking and tied up is useless. The problem we have around here is most people don't let their dogs run and/or they own those pretend dogs like shitzoos.

Don't put down small dogs. Most of them think they are big dogs and will chase after anything. We have three dogs, a white chow, a white sheperd, a sheperd cross rescue, and a Chinese crested powder puff. The crested is 10 lbs, and the Sheperd's are about 100 lbs and she intimidates both of them and chases squirrels just as well as them and she is 13 years old. Ankle biters a quick and can be just as viscous as a big dog.
