Does the gasoline scent cause them to abandon the den?
Three or four years ago, I saw a young ground hog run toward my house when I was leaving for work. It decided to climb an elm tree in my yard (yes, ground hogs can climb trees) but stopped about 4' from the ground in plain sight. I do not allow burrowing animals around my buildings.
On the way to work, I had no time to open the safe, load a gun, shoot the critter, clean the gun and restore it to the safe.
I drove my car outside of the building telling myself that I would do something about the hog if it was still there when I drove past the tree. It was.
Not wanting to go through the trouble of safe/gun/cleaning, etc., I returned to the garage and retrieved a 12" ratchet, telling myself that I would attack the hog if it was still on the tree after approaching it, though hoping that it would not be. It was.
Making a long story short, it took several strikes with the Craftsman ratchet to dispatch the ground hog, and I will probably not forget the sounds of the strikes.
Upon, arriving at work, I noticed that I had blood on my shirt. Not one of my prideful moments.
