- This video is about Groundhog Repellent and Deterrent and shows what I have done to stop a groundhog from burrowing under my deck. The solution includes collapsing all existing tunnels, two different barriers, coiled barb wire as a deterrent as well as fox urine granules as a deterrent.

4 years later I find your video very relevant to my situation. Shallow deck and a family of ground hogs that live on public property keep coming up under me and digging. I've finally gotten rid of the woodchucks that were living up here, but I've been forced to leave the deck boards pulled up so new ones don't find me. I was ready to just remove the pretty deck and go without it, but I believe I'll give this a try! Hope it worked for you!
I had continuing problems until I moved out here full time. The dogs keep them away. Groundhogs are some very persistent critters.
@@greatescapefarms so after everything you did they still got in ?
@@TROUBLE8088 They actually did. It wasn't until we moved out here full time that they relocated.
We had ground hogs and we used live traps at the entrance to the tunnels. At the side of the barn we used the natural briers to make a tunnel straight into the live trap. Then a quick pop, rinse and repeat. No more groundhogs. We see them in the far side of the neighbors field but they didn't come back to the property for the rest of the year. My guy has also peed in the hole after and it does seem to work at least combined with the other method. We'll see how it looks this spring.
Thanks.
I found one that lives on my neighbor's yard chilling by my AC. It's a shaded area and the concrete was not hot at that time. I threw some moth balls at it to see if it will leave but nada. I shot some pellets at it, it didn't move much. I then shoot water at it since it's a hot day, it ran away
I had a turkey decoy that I used in hunting season. I put it out near where the groundhog was trying to establish a burrow. It scared the critter away. Low cost solution. I had tried trapping, smoke bombs, even bear spray. Groundhogs apparently know turkeys will eat their young, so they move on!
Wow, that is an awesome solution. Ultimately it was my rat terriers that took care of the issue. Just their presence on a regular basis. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the tips.
You're welcome Kitara!
Just set a couple of traps like I have done and bait them. I was successful for 20 bucks which was the cost of a multiple use live trap.
Thanks, Dru!
Yeah, but what do you use as bait? I've used cat food and got cats. I've used melons and that doesn't seem to work...
The only trap where I live with $60 and the woodchuck completely ignores it I live in the forest he has plenty to eat he's not interested in any of the popular Bates bullet time
@@jaysuncharris Dont give up. You'll get him. One day I actually saw one walk past my trap to bad for him he could have had a nice last meal before the bang😉 I was sitting with my son's 10/22 and that's all she wrote.
@@jaysuncharris yeah. That's kinda my situation. He prefers my garden. The only problem is at my place there's basically no safe shot. I am giving it one last try with ultra ripe melon. I'm also going to try with my bow and arrow.
ask bill murry caddychack..........plastic explosives
:)
Soon you’ll be rigging claymore mines for this little guy and working at the Caddyshack.
Fox urine doesn't phase them, human pee on a rag in the hole will drive them out according someone from the parks department in my area.
I will let you know how it works out.
I've not had good luck with fox urine in the past either. I haven't tried your other method though.
Well my husband has been peeing in the corner of the fence where he entered our yard no matter how we blocked it, and I haven't seen it in a week!!!
Keep me posted. That would be an awesome fix there.
@@paintedgardenfarm8704 😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😂😂
How do you know they are all out of the tunnels? I'm afraid of trading one
They seem to be out of the tunnels during the day.
Aren’t they just the worst! This is one heck of a lot of work you’re doing! I have trapped a couple (in the release cage types) in years past, but have had no luck lately. Neighbors appreciate my efforts and the lowering of our raccoon population, but I’m getting more irritated daily. What a horrible animal! Anyone who thinks they’re cute is nuts!
I'm with you. They finally moved on when I moved into my homestead full time with my dogs.
Hardware cloth would be much more effective than chicken wire. Small conibear traps are very effective for removing the groundhogs before doing the exclusion.
I'm inclined to agree with you. I'm almost thinking about using old chain link fence from Craig's list :)
How does a hardware cloth prevent them?
Good luck my man,do you know a good skunk,possum and raccoon repellent???
Dog would probably do the best job :)
Lol network... that's the words I used. He managed to get out of the trap cause he's so big. He's driving me crazy. Hope this works.
Rakes are the only new that will knock you your if you lay them down wrong.
Why couldnt you just pour a 1 ft cement footer instead of chicken wire?
Cement down the holes, they just dug around it. I'm at the edge of town and on a big enough lot that neighbor won't be able to tell my new .22 cal (illegal) air rifle is not a .177 cal (legal). Borrowing a deer blind from my son.
I can understand the frustration.
Had to chime in, dig until you realize the groundhog is 👀 and laughing at you. I have a count of 10 to 12 known holes across the property. The longest tunnel is about 200 yards that connects to the rest and reaches my neighbor. I have filled in holes with used cat litter and a few months later, hole. FYI, stepping down on shovel will only scare you. I lay my rakes up so I can use the force to bring to my hands. Unless you like Harry Potter, then say up. My next attempt to chase them out of pump house is Irish Springs soap. We'll see.
My only true success was when we moved here permanently and the rat terriers scared them off. The dogs crawled a few feed in the holes and chased them off the property any time they saw one. They never caught one - that would have likely been ugly.
chicken wire not enough. hardware cloth
yep.
Yep. Make it as complicated, labor intensive and as expensive as you possibly can. $10 Conibear will solve it quickly and forever. No wire, no digging, no deck removal.
Looks like those are illegal in my state.
Not if you have pets, I had to stop using mine once I had a dog.
razorwire
I bet that would do it! :)
@@greatescapefarms Spread razor wire all around under the deck/porch. Also: Groundhogs are quite good at staying away from the territories of other animals. YOU are an animal. Take a walk in the evening and "mark" your territory. Slices of soap bars, and grandma's remedy: GROW MINT!
@@JustGG1956 Thank you! My ultimate fix was to move out here with my dogs. They do the marking for me :)
If you have cat's, empty the litter box into the groundhog hole. They will abandon it.
Wow. That's a neat idea. Thanks.
I have three cats. So instead of throwing the old cat litter in the garbage I'll start dumping it in their holes!!
Not going to work get a trap.
I want them gone - but I'm only out here on weekends and I wouldn't want to starve any animal to death in a cage when I was gone.
This is depressing.
Sorry. You'll be happy to know that dogs ended up scaring them off the property. They have moved on from our yard.
thanks for nothing, goofy
