Please be careful. Snakes have been our problem this year copperheads to be specific. Next door neighbors pooch got bit one day spent night in vet center then came home the next day and got bit again the next morning. He's doing ok but will be on a leash walking for a while.

We had groundhog under shed one summer and we put some old brick in the hole thinking we would block it. Well the brick came up missing and we never did find them. Said he must took them down under and built A condo. LOL

Ditto ammonia & rag. We had a skunk nest under our shed so DH pulled up on board and I dropped a tied towel drenched with ammonia. Refreshed the ammonia for several days. Skunk moved.

A squirrel came in once. Sadly, it found out our dog doesn't take too kindly to uninvited guests. S/he helped our Emily and parents Standard Poodle Eric earn the title "verminator"

Just a thought. When you capture the ground hog take it 10 miles away. I found out the hard way that they can find their way back. Then it's much harder to trap.

I' m sure that your missing brick was eaten. I did battle for months with a groundhog, never knew what nasty ornery critters they are until he moved into the yard. He ate all my tomatoes, climbed the Pawpaw tree and ate all of those, dug under the woodshed and settled in, squirreled away many rat logs. Borrowed live trap and succeeded in trapping three possums on three different nights, so had to drive miles to free them,(stinky ol' things) and never did get the groundhog. He didn't move, I did.
