Call Critter Control of Southern Maine as soon as you notice woodchucks under your porch or in your garden — our woodchuck removal technicians are experienced and prepared to take care of your woodchuck problem! Your groundhog control specialist will work diligently to implement effective prevention methods such as:

• Wire mesh fences to keep groundhogs away from gardens and lawns.
• Any fences should be buried a minimum of a foot underground and have outward-facing overhangs to discourage the groundhogs from burrowing under or climbing over.
• In many situations, an electrified wire may become necessary to add to the effectiveness of the fence.

Common Woodchuck Problems 

• Costly damage from woodchuck in garden
• Burrowing under lawns and landscapes
• Activities that may negatively impact building foundations, roads, driveways, and lawns
• Instances where woodchucks have attacked humans are very rare but it can happen. Please be cautious, as this could indicate the groundhog is rabid.
