How do I get rid of a ground hog that just started living under my shed in my back yard?

Question

I mean get rid of it without shooting it and getting arrested. Is there a product I can get from Lowes or Home Depot to make him leave?

Answer 1

she's prb trying to find a nice wintering place
find her den and where she gets in and block it with rocks and stuff and keep an eye on it keep tearing the bedding out and blocking the entrance after a while she will move
mothballs might discourage her

Answer 2

When I got a mole in my yard, a neighbor told me to put blood meal around the yard. It worked. Maybe it will work on a ground hog. You can get Blood Meal in a box at Lowe's.

Answer 3

I got rid of a skunk that was under our house by spraying ammonia. This is the $1 a bottle ammonia that you can get at wal-mart or other grocery type store. I sprayed it with a $1 spray bottle from a discount store.

Answer 4

if you use moth balls you'll need a lot of them so go to the dollar stores. A friend of mine had one under a shed and she did everything from boiling water to motor oil and it wouldn't leave. Liked her garden. Her neighbor finally waited for it and shot it. Then she felt bad about having it done in. If you shot it don't let the neighbors see you.

Answer 5

Borrow your neighbors dog feces and shovel down the holes that you can see. Block the holes with big rocks. Ground hogs hate other animals in their space. I used it, and it worked. But nothing is a guarantee!

Answer 6

Put strong wire mesh all around the bottom of your shed to prevent it getting under it.

Answer 7

The only way we were able to get rid of ours is by trapping it... Traps can be bought at Home Depot.
