Sit them on your lap in a stolen car and drive off the cliff into a quarry?

Get a large trap baited with corn (Some town and counties have them to borrow )and after trapping release the groudhog at least 25 miles away from house.

My dog keeps them away.

Wish I could help. Our neighborhood get inundated with moles this time of year. Not as bad as groundhogs, I’m sure. But they destroy our lawn and flower garden.

Protected species??

Put the hose down the hole and flood them out. target practice.

Prairie dogs?

People around my parts find dogs work well.

Also, large shallow pan of ammonia placed in the middle of the area sometime encourages mammals to move.

Pellet gun?

I stumbled on these guys while looking for, of all things, beekeeping podcasts. If you've got any kind of critter problem that needs taking care of, these guys can help you out.

Benjamin-Sheridan Pellet Gun.

Very accurate.

Poison it. If it dies under the slab to your porch, fill in the entrances/exits from its lair to prevent other animals from using the ready built condo. The soil you shovel in will prevent the stench from escaping. The ground rat (It’s not a hog!) will decompose faster than you think. Your other option is to catch the congresscritter in waiting in the open by the road and run the d@mn thing over.

Take the advice of Carl Spackler, noted expert on dealing with varmints:

“To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.”

[Flycatcher]

We can't poison it (would love to!) because it might die under the porch slab and our basement (which we heavily use) would reek to high heaven.

Yeah, so? It would only stink for a few days -- a week max. I had pack rats get under my getaway mobile home in the desert and the poison definitely worked. Did I smell them under the skirting and inside the house? Yes!

But it was the smell of victory!

Man up! Do what it takes, and pronto! They can do a lot of infrastructural damage.

There are a couple of ways that I use;

1] a .22 cal rifle with subsonic rounds. [These do not have a loud report to upset the neighbors]

2] fill hole with used kitty litter. The smell of cats & their urine drives them away, and they do not return....

big dumb fat slow rodents. Should be easy. You just arnen’t trying.

Where do you live? Where I live, we can call the city’s vector control office and they will come take care of critters. They trap them and take them out to the country someplace.

[BipolarBob]

I keep wolverines around just to keep the groundhogs away. They do a fine job.
