Will groundhogs burrow beneath a fence (possibly electric) or a fence with a strip of edging right under it?

I haven’t lost a tomato to varmints since the electric fence was deployed.

Over the years I’ve had some success live-trapping groundhogs. A watermelon slice is good bait for that.

I’ve also had a lot of success feeding them a 40gr. lead pill from Mr. Ruger.

Haven’t tried tossing smoke bombs in the hole.
