Fast and polite. Pleasant initial examination. I will most likely wait until spring to initiate extermination procedures, but a good experience.

Hang tight, this only takes a second.
Why is a groundhog digging under my shed?
The ground under a shed, deck or porch is sheltered and easy to dig, and a nearby garden gives it food. A fresh dirt mound beside a hole is the most common sign.
Is your groundhog removal humane?
Yes. We use humane trapping, and our team is trained to handle wildlife ethically. The goal is to keep stress and harm to the animal as low as possible while we solve the problem.
How do you stop groundhogs from coming back?
After removal we install wire barriers along the base of sheds, decks and other spots where it was digging, and we show you which brush and woodpiles to clear.
Are you licensed for groundhog removal?
Yes. Our wildlife division holds the New York State Wildlife Control License. We are NWCOA Certified and hold the NWCOA EPIC certification for exclusion product installation.
How much does groundhog removal cost?
It depends on how many burrows there are and how much barrier work the property needs. We inspect first and give you the price before any work starts, and the quote is free.
What are the signs of a groundhog?
A fresh mound of dirt beside a hole under a shed, deck, porch or foundation. Dirt piling up under the deck stairs. Vegetables and flowers in the garden chewed down to the stems.
Can a groundhog damage my garden?
Yes. Groundhogs eat vegetables and flowers, often down to the stems, in gardens and raised beds near the burrow. We remove the groundhog and help you protect the beds.
What draws groundhogs to a yard?
Sheltered, easy ground to dig under a shed, deck or porch, with a garden close by for food. Brush piles and woodpiles draw them in too. We show you what to clear, trim and move.
How long does groundhog trapping take?
Trapping runs for a 10-day period. No one can promise an animal walks into a trap, so if it needs more time, we add weeks only with your OK.
Is there a warranty on the sealing?
Yes. The entry points we repair and seal carry a 1-year warranty.
