Wildlife Removal: Groundhogs

Safe Solutions for Unwanted Guests

Hear scratching in the walls or attic? See droppings in the garage?

We get a lot of calls that start with the same concern: “Something’s in my house, and I don’t know what it is.” That’s exactly where we come in. 

Our wildlife removal services are built to handle known problems—like raccoons, squirrels, or groundhogs—and the mystery ones, too. If you're hearing noises, spotting damage, or seeing signs of animal activity, we’ll figure out what’s going on and take care of it—safely and thoroughly. 

We don’t stop at trapping. Our team removes animals, their nesting materials, and anything they’ve left behind. We also offer professional exclusions and repairs to block re-entry and keep your home protected long after we’re gone. 

When animals make their way in, our job is to remove them safely—and make sure they don’t come back. We provide wildlife control and animal removal services that are trusted across the region.

Humane Groundhog Removal for Yards, Foundations, and Outbuildings

Tunneling damage. Foundation risk. Deep burrows in the yard.

Groundhogs—also known as woodchucks—are expert diggers. They tunnel under decks, sheds, garages, and even homes, creating unstable ground and long-term structural problems. Left unchecked, they can damage concrete slabs, undermine foundations, and invite other pests into the space they’ve created. 

Our groundhog removal service uses humane trapping methods and detailed site inspection to address activity quickly and thoroughly. Once the animal is removed, we provide recommendations for repair and habitat modification—because groundhog pest control only works if you prevent the next one from moving in. 

How to Tell If Groundhogs Are the Problem

What we look for around decks, foundations, and yards

Groundhogs are solitary but persistent. The most obvious sign is a large burrow—often at the base of a shed, along a foundation wall, or near a deck. These entry holes are usually 10–12 inches wide, with dirt mounded nearby. You may also see worn paths through the grass, gnawed garden plants, or weakened soil around the structure. 

If you suspect one has moved in, we’ll assess the site, confirm activity, and build a clear plan for groundhog removal that protects your property. We also offer woodchuck removal and can advise on the best ways to prevent future burrowing.
