Groundhog Removal
Groundhogs dig large burrow systems under sheds, decks, gardens and foundations, and they can eat a vegetable garden down to the dirt in a few days. We find the burrow, remove the animal humanely and close the entrance so a new one does not move in.

Common questions
Are groundhogs active in winter?
They hibernate in cold weather, so most trouble shows up from spring through fall. Burrows can still be found and planned for in winter.
Will a fence stop a groundhog?
Only if it is tall enough and goes below the ground, because they climb and dig. We can advise on a barrier that does both.
