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

• Yes, our approach is designed with safety in mind. We use humane, live traps that are placed in discreet and controlled areas around your property. No poisons, chemicals, or harmful equipment are involved at any point in the process. We take extra care to place traps away from places where pets or kids might wander, and we’re always happy to walk you through the setup during the initial visit to give you peace of mind.

2. Can groundhogs cause structural damage?

• Absolutely. Groundhogs are skilled diggers, and their burrowing habits can quickly become a serious problem. Tunnels beneath patios, porches, and foundations can lead to cracking or sinking. In severe cases, this damage can compromise the structural integrity of certain parts of your property. They also contribute to soil erosion and can destabilize retaining walls and fences. That’s why early detection and removal are critical.

3. Do you offer preventative services?

• Yes, we don’t just remove the groundhogs—we also help make sure they don’t come back. After the initial removal, we install physical barriers and offer guidance on how to make your yard less attractive to groundhogs. This might include simple changes like sealing crawl spaces or adjusting the placement of garden beds. Our goal is to provide long-term protection so you can feel confident your home is secure.

4. Is groundhog removal legal in Michigan?

• It is, but only when done in accordance with Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations. Groundhogs are considered nuisance wildlife, and there are strict guidelines on how they can be trapped and relocated. Our team is fully licensed and trained to perform removal ethically and legally, using humane methods that protect both people and animals.

5. How quickly can you respond to a groundhog issue?

• We pride ourselves on fast, responsive service for Pontiac homeowners. In many cases, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments depending on availability. Because we’re based just minutes away in Waterford Township, we’re able to respond quickly and efficiently to local calls—especially if you’re dealing with an urgent or active groundhog problem.

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

• 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.
