Wildlife Removal Q&A


Are Groundhogs Dangerous?

Groundhogs are generally not aggressive, but they can cause significant property damage. Their tunnels can extend 20–40 feet underground and may weaken soil around sheds, patios, foundations, and sidewalks. They can also destroy gardens and landscaping


Why do groundhogs dig under sheds and decks?

Groundhogs prefer digging in areas that provide protection and stability. Structures like sheds, decks, and patios provide cover from predators and weather, making them ideal places for groundhogs to build their burrows.


What time of year are groundhogs most active?

Groundhogs in Ohio typically become active in early spring (March–April) after coming out of hibernation. This is when many homeowners begin noticing burrows or damage around their property.

Groundhogs remain active through spring and summer, especially when feeding on gardens and landscaping.


How quickly can a groundhog be removed?

In many cases, a groundhog can be trapped within a few days, but timing can vary depending on the location of the burrow and how active the animal is.


Can I remove wildlife myself?

DIY wildlife removal can be dangerous and may violate local or state laws, particularly for protected species. Improper removal can also leave animals trapped inside or cause more damage.
