    I have fought with these vermin for years . Thry aleays come back. Finally I used a "have-a-heart " trap and caught the little guy. Then they go for a ride to the woods about 2miles away from property. Havent had any back so far this year.

    Same as above, unless you have a hunter friend with a BB gun.

    Also, after you transport the critter (more than 5 miles away is the recommendation)

    keep the 'den' area heavily sprinkled with cayenne pepper (other types may work to) as the sent of the nesting, urine will attract other groundhogs !


    (Can buy Cayenne pepper at Dollar Store !)

    Castor bean oil, sprayed liberally may work. BB gun is most effective, if permitted in your area.

    I used moth balls by their den...just spread them around their entrance, they cannot stand the smell and move on...once vacated, spread them around entrance and exit one more time....keeps them out
