[BFix] OT- Wildlife removal/Identification

[RussellKA001 at aol.com]

My father lives in a residential area with wooded area behind his house. He  
lives on just slightly over an acre of land. This morning he saw what he said  
were either foxes or coyotes. There was an adult which was about the size of 
a 6  month Labrador dog and 6 babies which are about the size of a large 
raccoon.  When he went to look the mother ran away into the woods and the babies 
ran  towards the back of his garage. When he went to look he found that there is 
a  hole under the rear concrete slab where they have made a den. With a 
mother,  father and 6 babies I am worried about the size of the hole under the 
slab. He  wasn't sure if these are foxes or coyotes. They are grayish in color 
with a  lighter colored chest. OK now to the problem... How do we get rid of 
these? The  neighborhood is too close house wise to shoot them which was my first 
idea. I  think they are too large to trap in my hav-a-hart traps. Poisoning 
them is  likely to cause them to go back to the den and die. That would be a 
very nasty  smell since we could not get in there to get them out. Any ideas? If 
it matters  the house is in Ohio in the Cincinnati area. Lisa Dickerson, you 
know the area  so maybe that info can help. Thanks
