Groundhog Removal in the Hudson Valley, NY Area

orange divider

Groundhogs can cause extensive damage by digging large burrow systems beneath lawns, gardens, sheds, decks, and foundations. Their feeding can also destroy vegetables, flowers, and other landscaping in a short amount of time.

Pest Pros of the Hudson Valley provides professional groundhog removal for residential and commercial properties. Our team evaluates active burrows, surrounding damage, and property conditions before developing a control plan.

Signs of a Groundhog Problem

Common evidence of groundhog activity includes:

  • Large burrow entrances with nearby soil piles
  • Damaged vegetable gardens or ornamental plants
  • Tracks or worn paths through the yard
  • Digging beneath sheds, decks, or porches
  • Uneven or weakened ground near a structure
  • Groundhogs repeatedly feeding during daylight hours

Burrow systems may include several entrances and extend farther than homeowners expect.

Groundhog Exclusion and Prevention

Groundhog control should address both the active animal and the conditions supporting its burrow. Once removal is complete, Pest Pros can recommend exclusion methods to make the area less accessible.

Prevention may include installing buried barriers around decks, sheds, gardens, or other vulnerable structures. Fencing should extend below ground because groundhogs are strong diggers. Removing brush piles, tall vegetation, and available food may also reduce shelter and feeding opportunities.

Burrow openings should not be closed until the property has been inspected and the animal is confirmed to be gone.
