Exclusion to prevent future burrowing if possible
Professional Groundhog Removal and Burrow Prevention Services
We begin with a detailed inspection of your yard and foundation to locate active burrows and assess any structural or landscape damage. Our team then safely traps and removes the groundhogs, following all state regulations. To prevent future issues, we fill in burrows, reinforce vulnerable areas, and offer solutions to keep groundhogs from returning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if groundhogs are living under my shed or deck?
Large burrow openings, fresh dirt piles, and repeated sightings near a single area are common clues.
Can groundhog burrows damage foundations?
Yes—burrowing near slabs, porches, and foundations can lead to settling or erosion issues.
Do you remove groundhogs humanely?
Yes—removal follows safe, legal wildlife control methods.
How long does groundhog removal take?
Depends on activity and burrow complexity; some require follow-up visits.
Will groundhogs come back?
They can if the den area stays open. Exclusion and habitat changes reduce return.
What attracts groundhogs to my yard?
Vegetable gardens, easy shelter under structures, and low predator pressure.
Do groundhogs carry diseases?
They can carry parasites and create sanitary concerns around dens and droppings.
What does groundhog removal cost?
Pricing depends on access, number of burrows, and whether exclusion/repair work is included.
Can you fill in groundhog burrows?
Typically yes—after removal. Filling too early can trap animals or force new tunneling.
Are groundhogs aggressive?
Usually shy, but they can bite if cornered. Avoid handling.
