Groundhogs Reportedly Digging up Bones After 'Taking Over' Cemetery

5. They are SOOO destructive to yards, gardens and foundations

I was fortunate to witness where one got into my fenced in garden, before I had put any plants in the ground. Other years I wasn't so lucky. They've also gnawed my herb gardens down to nubs.

If it finds another way in, I'll be setting a live trap. Meanwhile I'm stocking up on Epsom salts to sprinkle around the perimeter of the garden, because they do not like it. Also I've let garlic overgrow parts of the fence line. They also dislike garlic. And I spray the plants with a hot pepper mix. Of course, I have to reapply that, quite often, and have to remember to wash everything, before popping it into my mouth.
