Groundhog in a lawn - Groundhog Removal

WHY MANAGE GROUNDHOGS?

Groundhogs might not seem problematic at first, but once they establish themselves in your yard, they become more than a mere annoyance. They can jeopardize your garden’s health and create significant disruptions in your outdoor space. Effective Groundhog Removal is crucial for taking swift and decisive measures to remove these unwelcome visitors, ensuring your property remains secure and orderly. This approach also preserves local wildlife and maintains ecological balance.

Protect your property by mitigating the risk of structural damage caused by groundhog burrows, which can affect foundations, sidewalks, and even the stability of buildings.

2. Protecting Your Landscape

Safeguard your garden and landscaping from the extensive digging and eating habits of groundhogs, which can devastate vegetation and ornamental plants.

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.

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
