Groundhog (Woodchuck)- Control
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of mostly 8 ½ “x11” prints with some 5”x7”, 4”x6”, and 11”x17” images. A large portion of these photographs pertain to rat management in urban locales through fumigation, trapping, and baiting. Additionally, there are some posters and images from public awareness campaigns regarding rats. The collection also contains photos of damage and control methods for rabbits, hares, mice, pocket gophers, birds, predators, skunks, moles, black bears, porcupine, groundhog, bats, and hoofed mammals (elk, bison, and caribou). While most of the photos are from Midwestern states such as Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, there are also some from Texas, Virginia, Minnesota, Washington, Massachusetts, Florida, North Dakota, New York, Oregon, and New Hampshire.
