Groundhog Problems? Detection and Control Saves More Than Costly Home Repair

March 18, 2025

Groundhogs can quickly cause significant damage to your property if left unchecked. At Secured Environment Pest and Wildlife Services, we emphasize the importance of early detection and control to prevent costly issues like damaged gardens, lawns, and even foundations.

Why Early Detection Matters

Groundhogs are most active in spring and summer and can burrow near structures, gardens, and landscaping. The longer the problem goes undetected, the more damage they can cause. Early detection allows you to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.

Signs of a Groundhog Problem

Look for these signs:

• Burrows near structures or gardens
• Damage to plants and vegetation
• Dirt mounds around burrow entrances
• Visible groundhog activity during the day

Why Control Is Crucial

Groundhog burrows can damage foundations, fences, and lawns. Left unchecked, they can attract other pests and even pose health risks through disease-carrying droppings. Early control helps prevent these issues.

Effective Groundhog Control

• Exclusion: Seal entry points and secure barriers around gardens.
• Trapping: Humane live traps to remove groundhogs.
• Repellents: Natural or chemical solutions to deter groundhogs.
• Professional Help: Contact a professional wildlife service for established infestations.
