The ideal solution for managing w oodchucks in the garden is to take preventive measures before you have an issue through fencing. Once you have exhausted preventative measures for keeping woodchucks out of your garden, you can move on to trapping. Griffin Dill, integrated pest management professional at the University of Maine said that since woodchucks are a wildlife species, it’s important to check any laws and regulations regarding their trapping. Dill said the more humane option is to euthanize the animal, which is done primarily through shooting it.
