Douglas Hunt on Apr 13, 2014I don't think it's possible. Even if you manage to get rid of the one that is there, how would you prevent others from coming back? It's illegal to trap and relocate groundhogs in Connecticut, and there are no poisons registered for their control. If you have a relatively small area, your best option may be a fence, buried at least a foot in the ground and three to four feet high.

Jeanette S on Apr 13, 2014Recently there have been posts on chipmunks...maybe you could try some of those things. One I remember was peppermint on cotton balls dropped down the hole and a rock set over holes...another was pour ammonia down the holes. I have ammonia and rock and I am going to try that first for chipmunks! This is something you would definitely have to keep repeating!Helpful Reply

K Arnold on Sep 17, 2015I had the same problem. A farmer friend told me to lay a hose at a slow trickle at opening of burrow. Let it run for a couple days. The whole area was so wet that groundhog decided to look for another location to build his home. Two years later and no further problems.Helpful Reply
