It would most likely be in either the Pests and Diseases or Wildlife forums, have you check those yet?

When Tom was living in New York he had a lot of trouble with groundhogs. I sent him this article from a wildlife magazine that said to empty kitty litter boxes around the edges of your garden and if you found the holes of groundhogs dump it down the hole. I guess squirrels and raccoons don't have holes. I don't know if it works for them or not or if you have cats. Dooley

I've never heard about cat litter in ground hog holes Dooley. We have tons of them at work and one has made a hole in my herb garden. Did it work?

Just an update...
I poured some kitty litter in a groundhog hole last week and checked on it yesterday. There has been no activity around it since! I guess Mr Groundhog has moved on! Thanks for the great tip Dooley!
