Woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, can be a nuisance to homeowners in Connecticut. They dig burrows, often under sheds, decks, and houses. The digging can compromise the integrity of buildings and other structures and possibly make them unsafe for the people who use them. Groundhogs also like to eat vegetables that homeowners grow in their gardens in the spring and summer.

 

THESE STRATEGIES TO GET RID OF WOODCHUCKS DON’T WORK

Many homeowners in Connecticut have tried a variety of methods to get rid of woodchucks. Some have tried spraying the urine of natural predators, such as coyotes or foxes, in their yards and gardens to scare away woodchucks, but that is ineffective. Ultrasonic sound emitters do not work to get rid of groundhogs. Other homeowners have tried putting mothballs or rags soaked with ammonia in their yards, but these strategies are also ineffective.

 

TRAPPING IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF A WOODCHUCK

The only truly effective way to get rid of a woodchuck is to trap and relocate it. A trap can be placed near the entrance to a burrow so the animal will walk into it when it leaves in search of food. Then the groundhog can be released in another location a few miles from its former home so it will not return.

 

CALL THE PROFESSIONALS AT ANDERSON WILDLIFE CONTROL

You should not try to trap a woodchuck yourself because this could create a potentially dangerous situation. You could get bitten, and woodchucks can carry rabies.

If a woodchuck is causing a problem at your Connecticut home because of its incessant digging or eating of the vegetables in your garden, call Anderson Wildlife Control. We have the training and experience to live-trap the woodchuck and remove it from your property. We will use humane trapping methods and relocate it to another location where it will no longer be a nuisance.

We use ecologically friendly techniques. We never use poisons or pesticides or cause any harm to the animals we capture or to the environment. Contact Anderson Wildlife Control today to get an estimate to have the woodchuck removed from your Connecticut property.
