Here's what we do to drive groundhogs away from structures (house, shed, propane tank, etc.): Dump dirty kitty litter into the hole. The groundhog leaves the area for sweeter smelling options and no critter is harmed! Try it!

I'm going to try this trick. Hope it works. My groundhog is too fat to fit in my have a heart trap. Lol.
I had a mama groundhog living in a burrow under my ground level deck. Every summer, for FIVE years, without fail, she birthed four to six pups (chucklings). I can tell you from my experience, moth balls do nothing. Cayenne pepper does nothing. After trying multiple home remedies through those years, I finally splurged $40 on a live trap from Rural King. Don't bother trying to camouflage it. It's not worth your time. Ground hogs are naturally inquisitive. The key is to put on some latex gloves (you don't want to leave your scent on the trap).
