Damage. Ground squirrels normally do not cause extensive damage in urban areas. However, they will feed on flowers and vegetables in gardens, and their burrows can be a nuisance. In rural areas, ground squirrels can do extensive damage to cropland or pastures.
One home remedy to get rid of groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, is to plant a line of garlic near where the groundhog enters the garden. Alternatively, sprinkle blood meal or talcum powder around the perimeter of the garden. Hot pepper and human hair can also be used as deterrents against groundhogs.
