Groundhog Removal
Identifying Groundhogs
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, belong to the squirrel family. They possess a robust, compact body covered in brown to gray fur. These creatures have curved claws, well-suited for excavating burrows. As strict herbivores, they consume a range of vegetables. When not foraging for food, they often engage in sunbathing during the sunniest parts of the day.
Problems and Damage
The primary source of groundhog-related damage originates from their feeding habits, where they consume vegetation near their den sites. Homeowners, particularly those with backyard gardens, often contend with groundhogs as pests due to their preference for such areas. Instead of inhabiting human living spaces, groundhogs tend to create burrows beneath manmade structures. Over time, these burrows can result in structural problems if neglected. Groundhogs are potential carriers of rabies, tularemia, ticks, and fleas. It’s important to note that not all groundhogs carry diseases, but any bites or scratches should be promptly attended to by a medical professional.
