2- One way exit tunnels seem to work for getting them out. Leave them only one exit by blocking any back doors (usually with wire mesh). They only have one way out and the tunnel's one way flanges don't allow re-entry.
3- At the risk of being off color I've personally found that straight human urine is not something any of these animals are fond of. I actually had a ground hog who redug a hole after being tunneled out and would not be deterred by used cat liter, hot pepper flakes or any of the other homespun remedies. He went vamoose in a hurry when I started pouring McDonald's soda cups full of the above right down his entranceway.
4- I've found any kind of pest control services to be exorbitantly expensive and not worried too much about solving the problem.
Good luck!

Maybe human urine works just as well but I recently read where Fox urine is a sure bet to get rid of them.
It can be purchased at most sporting goods stores such as Bass Pro and Cabela's and maybe even online?
