Like to share some common observations about home owners on chuck jobs I'm sure many have experienced and find amusing. Often arrive at sites with a brand new Havahart front and center, failed attempts by clients they don't always reveal before you get there. Seems to take a home owner about a week before he calls. Fortunately the chucks aren't always wised up to a different approach.
I will never understand precisely why, after a client finally makes the call to request woodchuck trapping, he then will choose to alter the site immediately after he hangs up, i.e. fill in holes etc. Looking for crawl unders yesterday in a nicely fenced in yard that I knew had to be there, the homeowner mentioned he had just filled the hole a few hours before I got there. Just don't get it. I guess they need to feel they are involved. Of course we re-opened the hole and set what was the main woodchuck ingress and egress to the property. Seems like after a home owner hangs up some are compelled to sprint to the yard and start removing helpful sign as if destroying evidence of the critter is somehow "helpful." I guess that's why we have a job and they call us, as they have no clue about what to do to remediate the problem. I still do enjoy playing with a client when they usually ask, "what kind of bait do you use." Love the vacuous, perplexed reaction when I look them squarely in the eyes and say, "I don't use any." That blank grin makes the job fun. Most think you're just goofing on them. Maybe the next time I'll just say, "oh no, what am I going to do, I forgot my bait, guess we'll just have to make do and hope it works without any."
