Gas it! Run a hose from an exhaust pipe into the borough, seal it up around the hose, then just wait a while. Killed a skunk that way using my G.

#6 shot in a 20ga at 20 yards won't do it. Thought it did but he's back. He'll get 12ga if I can catch him out again. I'll have to check out the gopher grenades to.

Keep a .22 handy and let the air out of it, quick, cheap, and easy.

Farmer near me poured 5 gallons of water and 1 gallon of gas in a woodchuck hole and the resulting explosion his wife felt at the house saying the dishes were rattling around in the cupboard! The farmer told me he would not do that again as it was a way for an old man to kill himself! I have had success with hydrated lime or used cat litter poured down a hole. The woodchuck moves on and digs a new hole somewhere else. I have use road flares or the smoke bombs with varying degrees of success. Best success is shotgun,rifle or conibear trap

Last one I removed was with a 22.  Hit him twice before he fell over. 

I put used cat litter in one hole in the machine shed they never opened that hole again. If i want to live trap them I try to set the trap so they have to run in, sometimes I set some wood or cardboard or another trap to guide them in.

When I was farming with my dad we had a hog operation which means lots of hog $hit. All week long as I would haul the manure to apply to the fields I would keep tract of the groundhogs I would see. If I had time on Sunday, only time you could hope for some time off, i would go to the creek and load up 1000 gal of water and get the dogs and head to the groundhog holes, didn't need to take a gun. Put the pipe in the hole and real soon out they came. One time a skunk and her young came out, we all scattered.

Had one dig two holes in the middle of the barn dirt floor.  I took 3" chlorine tablets used in swimming pools and broke them up into a few pieces and threw them down into the holes then covered them back up with dirt.  Will see on my next visit to farm if it kept them out of those holes.  They will take your breath away and maybe theirs.

Or was it a litter of cats?

Used Cat litter. As I told my Aunt ,I would move out of my hole if somebody dumped Cat Sh#t down it! Got another woodchuck last night with the conibear at my mother's house. That makes 4 so far.2 at the barn 2 at the house porch. They are this year's litter making their winter's home until they dug into me! I have been told Badgers eat woodchuck's . I would like a pet Badger!
