I eliminated most of the ground squirrels around my house with my air rifle. I'd take the screen off of a window the night before & check back in the morning when they'd be in the yard. I'd crack the window, stick the muzzle barely outside or even with the window frame & pop them. I also have lots of rabbits in the yard mornings & evenings which I don't shoot. The muzzle sound wouldn't disturb them & they'd just keep on eating as the squirrels went through the process of dying. Air rifles are really good for that, but it takes time to reload if you have to. Borrow one if you can & give it a try. It should work on ground hogs just fine, & the ammunition is cheap.
P.S. I tried the garden hose with gophers & was successful in getting a few, but others come in shortly and their tunnels weren't damaged at all.
