Bait for Groundhogs

I place the pulp as bait in the groundhog trap adjacent to my garden. This has been extremely effective!!

Note:

The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as a woodchuck, or in some areas as a land-beaver, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Other marmots, such as the yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, live in rocky and mountainous areas, but the woodchuck is a lowland creature. It is widely distributed in North America and common in the northeastern and central United States.

Mostly herbivorous, groundhogs primarily eat wild grasses and other vegetation, including berries and agricultural crops. In this case, the pulp from juicing attracts them.
