Frequently Asked Questions About Groundhog Removal Services
How do you determine that a groundhog is the animal causing issues on the property?
We look for signature signs such as wide burrow openings, fresh soil piles, chewed vegetation and worn pathways leading between feeding and shelter areas. These markings differ noticeably from smaller burrowing animals.
What steps are involved in your groundhog removal process?
We begin by identifying all active tunnels and entrances, assessing travel routes and examining structural risks. Based on the site layout, we implement approved removal methods and outline prevention steps tailored to that specific yard or property.
Why do groundhogs choose to dig under decks, sheds or foundations?
Groundhogs prefer sturdy structures that provide overhead protection and stable soil. These areas offer both security and temperature regulation, making them ideal spots for dens and multi-entrance tunnel systems.
How much damage can a single groundhog cause around a home?
One groundhog can undermine supports, damage gardens, kill plants through repeated feeding and weaken soil around patios or outbuildings. Their burrowing can also create hazards in lawns and lead to erosion.
How long does it usually take to reduce groundhog activity after service starts?
Most properties see results quickly once active tunnels are addressed. Timing varies based on how many burrows are in use and how established the groundhog is in that territory.
Do groundhogs abandon old tunnels once removed?
Not immediately. Old tunnels may remain open and can later attract new groundhogs if not handled properly. We advise when and how to close inactive burrows safely to prevent repeat use.
Do you check for secondary entrances as part of your inspection?
Yes. Groundhogs commonly create multiple escape holes. Identifying every active point is essential to successfully reducing activity and ensuring long term effectiveness.
What should a homeowner do before the removal appointment?
You can mark visible burrow openings, note times of day you see activity and clear access to sheds, decks or fenced areas. Avoid filling holes beforehand so we can accurately assess which entrances are active.
