You can also cover or fill the burrow's entrance to prevent any other critters from venturing under there.

I just wish that the destruction confined itself to my garden. This industrious fella completely dug out the gravel underlayment beneath the back of my garage! I am at a complete loss as to the replacement of the gravel (a substantial amount)and fearful that if it is not replaced a. the back of the garage will collapse and b. some other critter will move right in. Any suggestions will be helpful! I have finally caught my problem groundhog. I just wish that the destruction confined itself to my garden.

The do migrate and expant their territory so you would think that they could survive a move into a suitable habitat.

I have a Hav-A-Hart trap, but I read that once relocated groundhogs have a low rate of survival.. I'm not sure why though. I'm at the end of my rope with my hog though..
