Seasonal Delights

Flowering bushes as well as a huge variety of flowers are both part of spring's delight.

It's absolutely fabulous to see all the variety of flowers at this time of year. 

It cheers the heart!

Now I have a question for you that has nothing to do with flowers or flowering bushes.

Through the kitchen screen door yesterday, I observed a fat woodchuck, walking by with a piece of green plant in his mouth.

He walked right past the kitchen steps, turned a little corner, and disappeared under the back porch.

It really freaked me out.

That's his residence now.

I had noticed that an opening where I piled patio stones had been tampered with.

Also, three flower pots I propped across the opening had also been pushed over.

My question to you is what can be humanely done to get a woodchuck out from under one's porch?

I cannot afford to call an exterminating company. Someplace I read that cayenne pepper is one scent those animals dislike? 

Anyone have personal experience with this type of dilemma?  

If you have, thanks for sharing it with me. 

Hope you all have a super day!
