1. How common are groundhogs in Waterford Township?

• Groundhogs are very common in Waterford Township due to its mix of wooded areas, parks, and water sources 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.

2. 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. Because we’re based right in Waterford Township, we’re able to respond quickly and adjust our approach for faster results.

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. Our team ensures traps are regularly monitored and never left unattended, offering peace of mind for households with kids and animals in Waterford neighborhoods.

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 or in urban areas like Waterford Township 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 Waterford Township?

• 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.
