Making sure there is no animal in the animal hole

We have groundhogs on the grounds (under the grounds?) at work. The workers in charge of filling in the holes fill them in and the next day the holes are back. Occasionally "critter ridder" will put out a few have a heart traps and catch maybe 1% of the groundhog population.

When I was a kid I lived in a horse farm and groundhog holes were a lethal problem. What we found worked best was used kitty litter. Once that goes in nothing else wants to live there and they move out.

And I know it is kinda final solution but if you want to get rid of the problem, carbon monoxide works well for "neutralizing" the squatters before filling in the hole.

Wow

You should thank them as they have made you a wast oil deposit station.

I have used mothballs powered and mixed with amonia. Shove a hose down the hole and pore the mix down saving a little to pore at the entrance. Just be prepared for what ever is in there to exit in a hurry.

Yep
