Groundhogs (also known as woodchucks) are brown with short, bushy tails. Adult groundhogs weigh between 8 and 10 pounds. They hibernate in the winter. They can do considerable damage to gardens and lawns digging for grubs or feasting on vegetation. The most common complaints regarding groundhogs is when they burrow next to a home, burrow under a deck, or eat landscaping/gardens.

You can rid a groundhog around your home or in your garden by:

• Frightening groundhogs away with motion devices
• Discouraging groundhogs with repellent smells or tastes
• Fencing groundhogs out of the garden

When these tactics don’t work it is time to bring in a professional. Buggin’ Us Pest Control will remove groundhogs in live cage traps and remove them safely and humanely.
