Groundhog Trapping | Woodchuck Control

If you have a problem with Groundhogs / Woodchucks we have Groundhog Trapping services to assist.

Woodchucks, also known as “groundhogs” or “whistle pigs,” are far too familiar to many of us living in Dawson, Fulton, Forsyth, Hall, Cobb or Gwinnett Counties!

Since Woodchucks/Groundhogs breed at one year of age it is important to get ahead of the population explosion when you get a colony trying to establish itself on your property. Mating occurs in March and April with a 31-day gestation period yielding from 2-9 (usually 4-5) offspring annually. Although young are dependent upon the female at first, woodchuck pups are already independent at 8 weeks of age and able to survive on their own.

Woodchucks prefer open areas such as fields, clearings, open forests and rocky slopes.  However, they seem to gravitate toward areas that are more brushy or weedy in nature or areas that have received disturbance at some point and are now “grown up.” Areas such as fence rows, embankments, retaining walls, dams or kudzu patches make for excellent woodchuck living.

The damage caused from their burrowing activities can be quite problematic. Burrowing along sidewalks, driveways and building foundations can lead to serious damage to structures resulting in potentially costly repairs. Woodchucks also prove to be a nuisance to many gardeners as they can destroy an entire garden or flowerbed in a relatively short time.

Dealing with nuisance groundhogs can be frustrating.  Fortunately, we are licensed Woodchuck trapping experts and we can quickly relieve you of the nuisance woodchucks by trapping and removing them.
