Why Groundhog Removal is Important
Woodchucks (also known as Groundhogs)
can be a terrible nuisance to homeowners, come springtime. These relentless vegetarians emerge from their winter hideouts to feed on everything in sight. In a matter of days, they can Decimate Your Garden and ruin your landscaping with deep and dangerous burrow holes.
Woodchucks also like to Dig Under Decks and Sheds, because it makes a nice safe home for them, with minimal effort. Woodchucks can be very hard to evict for these spaces. It’s important NOT block their way in and out. If you trap them under the deck or porch, they’ll die under there, and Dead Animal Removal is never fun!
Woodchucks are very cautious animals, making them very hard to catch without the right techniques!

Groundhog Removal Process
Our Process for Groundhog Removal
On our initial visit, our trained technicians will complete a thorough inspection of the property. We check for all possible entry points and active burrow holes. Once we’ve determined where they are active, we can begin a trapping program* to clear out all offending wildlife.
We use specially designed, live-cage woodchuck traps. This gives us the best chance of trapping your groundhog/woodchuck population, without harming them. In the rare case where this method wont work, we can use conibear traps to humanly euthanize
When a family of groundhogs are removed from under your deck or porch, it’s important to repair any damage they’ve caused. They’ve been using that space as their home, but also as their toilet. The pheromones they leave behind are a neon welcome sign to all the other animals in the area. Without properly securing your deck or porch, you may soon have more unwelcome critters.
