1. How quickly can you remove a groundhog?

• In most cases, our licensed team can remove a groundhog within 24 to 48 hours of setting humane traps. Response time can vary slightly depending on weather, activity patterns, and groundhog behavior. 

2. How common are groundhogs in Clarkston?

• These natural features provide ideal shelter and food for groundhogs. Residential areas with gardens, sheds, and decks also offer perfect spots for burrowing. If you’re seeing soil mounds or chewed plants, it’s likely a groundhog is nearby.

3. Will the groundhog come back after removal?

• Once a groundhog is removed, there is a risk of re-infestation if preventive steps aren’t taken. That’s why we offer exclusion services—like burying wire mesh around porches or sealing access points under decks—to stop groundhogs from returning. We also provide advice on removing attractants like tall grass, uncovered gardens, or compost piles that may lure new animals in.

4. Are your removal methods safe for pets and children?

• Yes. Our approach to groundhog removal is 100% humane and family-safe. We use live traps placed in discreet, strategic areas that minimize interaction with children or pets. 

5. Is there a specific season for groundhog removal?

• Groundhog activity peaks in spring and early summer, especially around April through June, as they emerge from hibernation to mate and dig burrows. However, groundhog removal is needed year-round, especially in milder Michigan winters, where groundhogs adapt to human environments. We provide 365-day service to address issues whenever they arise.

6. What does it cost to remove a groundhog in Clarkston?

• Costs vary based on the extent of the infestation, ease of access, and type of prevention needed. For example, removing one groundhog from under a deck may cost less than eliminating multiple animals across a large property with extensive burrowing. We offer free consultations and quotes, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
