How to get get rid of a groundhog?

Question

without using a gun.

Answer 1

trap it and get the DNR to move it somewhere else. Dont listen to Dr. Mengele with his gum thing. Whatever u do in life comes back to you.

Answer 2

The most effective and kindest method is to get a Hav-a-Heart trap and relocate it.  Check with your animal control/ animal shelter and see if they will loan out a trap.  Ours does.

The animal needs to be relocated because they are territorial and if not removed to another area it will return to its' burrow.  Find the burrow and do your best to seal it off or fill it in or other groundhogs may come to nest  there.

Answer 3

Why would you want to get rid of it, they're really cute.  I had a possum in my backyard it was entertaining to watch.  One day it had some babies, packed up and left, haven't seen it since.

Answer 4

Ground hogs have dens which is an area consisting of many holes. Put a full news paper down one of the holes light it on fire and then plug every hole but one. THey will be forced to come out and then well they are out plug the holes for good.
