if you have a garden...

a step by step guide on how to handle a suspected animal hole!

1. drop a small stone down the hole if it is about 2 inches wide and pretty deep continue to step 2
2. go get a large watering can bring it to the hole and pour it in untill the ground cant absorb any more of the water (if it IS an animals hole you may need to repeat this step sevrel times)
3. go get a shovel and begin stabbing it at the ground for a while to loosen the dirt
4. get a hoe and rake it over the hole untill you have taken a reasonable amount of dirt up
5. make shure the hole is now covered up with dirt and stomp on it or if you dont want to get dirty use the hoe's flat surface
6. finialy continue your gardening and do not wory about the pest any longer
7. Finialy if you are wondering why all this is nessecery it is because if the hole belongs to a gopher or rat or something it could pose a threat to your garden and the list of instructions will probably either drown it or if the creature is not at home when you do this it will be out of a home if that is the case and the animal makes a new den repeat the steps untill it gets the message
