I had a great aunt named Bertha. Her husband was named Burt.

Our daughter & Son-in-law have a groundhog family living under their 12' x 20' shed (that was built to look like a barn). It has a cement floor but those little buggers dig through the yard. The kids have tried everything to get rid of them. Next up is calling an "expert" to relocate them.

I saw a video listing smells they hate that can in the burrow. Lavender, cayenne pepper, smashed garlic cloves and dog droppings.

thanks !!

So yeah... smells they hate are a good way to promote their "migration" Mothballs are a good deterrent too. So are bright lights and loud noises, but those are also annoying to nearby humans!
