Seeing a groundhog near the end of winter can be a welcome sign that the seasons are changing, but it can quickly turn into a problem when these furry critters start burrowing on your property.

The Facts
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are herbivores that are active during the day and sleep in underground burrows at night. While they’re most active in the spring and summer months, they can still be seen year-round. They’re skilled diggers and can create large burrow systems that are difficult to remove without professional help. If you see any signs of groundhog activity, it’s important to act quickly to prevent future damage. The most obvious signs include:
-
Droppings
-
Tunnels
-
Burrow entrances
-
Damage to plants and trees
We offer fixed pricing for the initial humane animal trapping, and then a reduced price for any additional animals up to 30 days. The pricing will be case-by-case if we must catch or remove animals manually (without a trap).
