    Get rid of their food source? What are they digging for or have they taken up permanent residence?

          We had foxes for afew years and they dug dens.... oh they were so cute and kept some rodent populations in check....ya, all was good until the dens caved in and hitting them with the sprayer or tandem or what ever didn't make having them around so good anymore. We never tried to irradicate them but they did move on or died out. I won't miss them.

          Appears everything seems to cycle....

            More likely gophers or ground squirrels - they wouldn't have to dig to get the mice. We have a pair of them here too - debatable if the do more good than harm with the mess they make digging up gophers.

              Trap them. 280 conibear. At entrance, or use an oil barrel as a baited cubby. Fur has value too.

                  The badgers are digging out ground squirrels. Be careful. They may be protected.

                    Those buggers are rank, I was walking down the road a couple of years ago not realizing I was close to one with its young ones...wow, I have to admit I ran like hell.
