                  “Fast inspections • Humane removal • Exclusion repairs”

 How we fix the problem

1️⃣ Thorough Inspection

We perform a detailed inspection of your attic, roofline, vents, soffits, and foundation to locate active entry points, nesting areas, and damage. We identify exactly how the animal is getting in and what needs to be secured.

2️⃣ Humane & Effective Removal

We use humane, state-compliant methods such as one-way exclusion devices or trapping when necessary. Our goal is to safely remove the animal without causing unnecessary harm — while ensuring the problem is fully resolved.

3️⃣ Seal, Repair & Prevent Re-Entry

Once the animal is removed, we seal all entry points with durable materials and complete necessary repairs. This prevents the same issue from happening again and protects your home long-term.

Groundhog Removal – Frequently Asked Questions

1️⃣ How do I know if I have a groundhog on my property?

Common signs include large burrow holes (usually 8–12 inches wide), mounds of dirt near the entrance, damaged gardens, and chewing on plants or landscaping. Groundhogs are active during the day.

2️⃣ Are groundhogs dangerous?

Groundhogs are not typically aggressive, but they can bite if cornered. Their burrowing can weaken foundations, patios, sheds, driveways, and decks — creating potential structural problems over time.

3️⃣ Why do groundhogs dig under sheds or concrete?

Groundhogs look for stable, protected areas to build dens. Structures like sheds, porches, decks, and slabs provide cover from predators and weather, making them attractive nesting spots.

4️⃣ How do you remove a groundhog?

We inspect to confirm active burrows and determine the best removal method. Humane trapping is typically used, followed by securing the burrow area and reinforcing vulnerable spots to prevent re-entry.

5️⃣ Will groundhogs come back after removal?

If the burrow is not properly addressed, another groundhog may move in. After removal, sealing and reinforcing the area is important to prevent future activity.
