Something keeps tunneling under the concrete slab of my garden shed. I’ve filled it in, but every morning it’s back—and I’m worried it could damage the foundation. What would you do?

10. Reduce Yard Attractions

Make your yard less inviting to burrowing animals. Keep grass trimmed, remove piles of debris, and protect gardens with fencing. Some homeowners also use natural deterrents such as garlic-based sprays or hot pepper mixtures. When food and shelter are limited, groundhogs often relocate.

11. Seek Professional Help if Needed

If trapping efforts fail or if the shed shows major structural issues, it may be time to call professionals. Wildlife control specialists can safely handle the animal, while structural experts can evaluate the stability of your shed and recommend proper repairs. Professional help can prevent further damage and give you peace of mind.
