Somehow the idea of using gasoline or another chemical to get rid of the critter issue replaces one problem with another that could be worse. If the local animal control folks won't help perhaps the local wildlife warden will. You might also try the local ag extension agent for some ideas.
IF you could get it to enter a box trap that would be the safest route to take. Leg-hold traps or traps that kill are liable to catch a dog or cat. Possibly a kid. Also, it seems to me one big enough to do the deed on a groundhog would be hard for her to cock.
A watchful eye and a 22 would be the most specific solution assuming she has a safe backstop and there no local law prohibiting discharge of a firearm in her area. Subsonics at close range will do the job if she can hit the head. If she lives on a farm or rural area an inexpensive 22 is a good investment. A used but servicable unit from a pawn shop would be worth looking into.
