How would you get rid of woodchucks?

Two young ones have made a hole next to the foundation in my garden. I have put pepper flakes into the hole, and I broke a couple of eggs down the hole, in hopes that the smell would drive them away. But they are still there.
There are stray cats in the neighborhood, so I am surprised they have not driven these small ones away before they get big eating from my garden.

You need to study up on the marmota monax. See link. You could shoot them but then are large squirrels. Not knowing were you live, your options on removal or control are likely constrained by local law. A large male could make a nice hat if you wear fur. But fencing is the best answer
