Why Groundhogs Are a Serious Problem
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are highly destructive when they take up residence on your property. If left unchecked, a single groundhog can expand its territory quickly, and multiple animals will turn your property into a network of holes and tunnels. While they may look harmless, their constant digging and feeding habits lead to several major problems as listed below.
BURROW DAMAGE
Groundhogs dig extensive underground tunnel systems that can weaken the soil and compromise foundations, patios, driveways, and sheds.
GARDEN & CROP DESTRUCTION
They consume large amounts of vegetation, stripping gardens, flower beds, and landscaping bare in a matter of days.
LAWN DAMAGE
Their burrow entrances leave unsightly mounds and holes across lawns, creating trip hazards for people and pets.
STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY
Burrows near decks, barns, and outbuildings can lead to collapse or costly repair bills.
SAFETY RISKS
Groundhogs are known to be aggressive when cornered and can carry parasites or diseases that may affect pets.
Will's Wildlife Control's Professional Groundhog Removal Process
At Will’s Wildlife Control, Big Will uses a proven step-by-step process to ensure groundhogs are removed safely, effectively, and humanely. Here’s what you can expect when you call us:
1. Inspection and Assessment: Our first step is to perform a thorough property inspection. We look for active burrows, feeding sites, damage to landscaping, and signs of groundhog travel paths. This enables us to determine the size of the infestation, locate all entry and exit points, and select the most effective groundhog trapping strategy.
2. Customized Groundhog Removal Plan: Every property is unique, and so is every groundhog problem. We create a customized removal plan based on the number of groundhogs, the location of their burrows, and the extent of the damage. Our goal is to use the most effective methods while minimizing stress on the animals and disruption to your property.
3. Professional Trapping: We set state-approved, humane live traps near burrow entrances and travel routes. These traps are strategically placed and baited to maximize capture success. Because groundhogs are smart and cautious, placement and setup are critical – something our decades of experience allow us to perfect.
4. Safe Removal: Once captured, the groundhog is handled with care and removed from your property following Ohio’s wildlife control regulations. We do not simply “relocate” animals, since Ohio law has strict rules against transporting nuisance wildlife. Instead, we follow legal and ethical procedures to ensure the problem is resolved permanently.
5. Groundhog Burrow Closure & Damage Repair: After removal, we address the existing burrows. This may involve filling tunnels, compacting soil, or installing barriers to prevent new groundhogs from moving in. If your landscaping or structures have been damaged, we can recommend or perform repairs to restore both safety and appearance.
6. Exclusion & Prevention Measures: To keep groundhogs from returning, we may install underground fencing, reinforce decks or sheds, and offer advice on habitat modifications. Exclusion is the key to long-term protection, and our prevention methods ensure peace of mind for years to come.
7. Follow-Up Services: We stand by our work. If necessary, we provide follow-up inspections to ensure the groundhogs are gone for good. Big Will is dedicated to delivering customer satisfaction and achieving long-term results.
