Saw a reccomendation to fill the hole with newspaper once you think you got them all. Makes sense.

I'd be really cautious about that. Just keep trapping them as you are. The plan is in place.

Putting anything (structure, impediment, scent...) that might dissuade them from entering the hole you already have will lead them to create new ones!
