If you have woodchucks in your garden and you’d prefer that they move, here are some ideas.
Use a live trap to capture the groundhog and move it to another location.
Spray a commercial or homemade repellent in your garden. Groundhogs will be discouraged by the smells of talcum powder, cat or dog fur, ammonia or Epsom salts.
Plant their favorite grasses, including alfalfa, clover and zinnias, in an area away from your garden.
Install fencing.
Call a wildlife exterminator with experience in removing groundhogs.
