Burrowing Animal Pest
This is an update. I had Gary DePalma come out to view the problem. His price is $179 to visit and another $100 when the pest is caught and removed. He and I spoke for some time. He is very knowledgeable in that area.He covers at least a 30 mile radius. He was heading to Tavares yesterday to get rid of a squirrel and the day before he removed 3 hogs from somewhere around here. He immediately recognized my problem and it wasn't a burrowing pest. When put some edging around my patio I had punctured a sprinkler line and it would cause sand to be brought up to the patio like a burrowing animal. The tip as to the cause was the color of the sand which was very white like it had been filtered. I run my sprinklers at night so I assumed it was a burrowing nocturnal animal which had left 2 small holes. (where the water had forced out the sand). I paid him for the visit but no charge beyond that because there was no animal to trap. I'd use him again for the real thing.
