Bats nesting in attic space

Groundhogs can be stealthy, but knowing how to recognize their presence is key to managing them effectively. Here are the signs to watch for:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Stay alert for visible burrow entrances near building foundations or in your garden. These are clear signs that groundhogs might be creating burrows nearby.

2. Visible Damage

Look for disrupted soil and plant damage in your garden or landscaping, which can suggest groundhog burrowing or feeding activities.

Notice tracks with large, flat-footed prints and nearby mounds of dirt. These signs often indicate the frequent paths and burrow entrances of groundhogs.

Bobcat Wildlife and Pest installed Incide PC™ insulation in our attic space. They were quick, quiet, and did a great job. Our home is warmer and more comfortable now. Well worth it!

We had a pest problem and the entire team was very responsive! From the phone staff to Ronnie coming out to the property. He was very helpful in explaining our issue and how we were going to treat it. Thank you!

I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On-time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
