Woodchuck/Groundhog damage

Well, on May 2 while mowing lawn in evening, I inadvertently stepped into what is a 18-inch wide, and about 3 foot deep woodchuck burrow in our back lawn. I knew we had a woodchuck, seen evidence of him keeping his teeth in shape by gnawing away at wood trim at my garage. Now, I know they can have up to 5 exit burrows, so I figure there are burrows all throughout the lawn. I nearly snapped my knee when I stepped into the hole. We were going to get a Hav-a-Heart and trap it, but my hubby is afraid we'll get a skunk, so Alpha Omega will come and eradicate.
