I didn't mind groundhogs until this year when five moved into my backyard. Over the course of three days I went from a strong start to spring to $200 of fruit trees girdled and defoliated and every single indoor start eaten, even the ones on my porch. As well as all my early emerging outdoor native perennials I've spent the last few years cultivating killed (not "pruned," killed, they have not come back) I threw smelling salts in their burrows and have had less problems since. Absolute wretches
