I'm over run with them, at the base of the hill I live on, the only effective way would be to use the smoke bomb, cover the exits etc. I've done it with a small quantity of gasoline when there was no time to deal with any of them, and the holes were dangerous. Trapping is fine, live or kill but it takes time.
I had some go into the havahart, some just outsmart it, they are not stupid, I like the species, and have released them in abandoned areas, shot some and when they really put the pressure on me, I resorted to the gasoline when they were at the brink of taking my gardens down, hot and dry conditions they have to eat too, and you will compete with them if you have a garden that is for sure so I soak a rag but good, stuff it in the den entrance as far as it will go, then cover the hole(s), if you walk where they feed early morning, noon time and or afternoon evening, likely they will retreat to the den, they don't range far from safety, then you can employ any of the means, trapping, fuming or smoking them suffocates them out. Shooting them is time consuming anyway, downright pain the butt to wait em out. I hate resorting to taking them out, but you let that population get out of hand, like it is here still, my neighbors are now shooting some every year, no doubt its best to get after them, you'll never rid a place of all of them if there is enough habitat.
