Your catches will be quicker and more consistent. Once caught, relocate the animal at least 5 miles away. Try to release it early in the morning in an area where it will readily find food and shelter. Since woodchucks are easy targets once removed from their den, you must be careful when relocating. If left with no food or ground suitable for a burrow, they will quickly die.
Woodchucks can become a problem around the home.
In recent years, they have been found living around small gardens which are able to supply them with their dietary needs. Woodchucks will eat many fruits and vegetables, so expect them to be persistent once they find your garden. Stop them from feeding on your plants with Ropel. Live trap them with either a LT111230 or a NH2361 if they continue to feed after Ropel treatments. Consider spending a little more for the LT111236BD which will end up saving you a lot of time and effort - particularly when you are able to get a good set directly over their den.
