Groundhog Relocating Ottawa: What are Groundhogs?

These irritating little creatures hide behind a cute, curious and ultimately very friendly physique. Don’t let their overly friendly nature put you off, though: they are very likely to hang around and cause you all manner of headaches. They are usually quite slow animals that don’t get around too well, but their tremendous digging qualities ensures that is never the case.

Usually quite small at around 25” in length, this little brown-coated creature will stand out from a mile off. They are usually found peeking out of burrows looking for danger and to make sure they can come out and start scavenging. If you have this problem at home, then it might be time to deal with the creature.

Since they are such excellent climbers and swimmers, though, knowing where to start the search for one can be quite a tough thing to work out. This is where we can come in, offering you the help that you need to get rid of this blight.

Often appearing most commonly during the summer as they often extensively hibernate during the winter. They are usually hard to deal with, though, which is why so many people looking for help contact Go! Pest Control. 

Groundhog Removal Ottawa: Dealing with the Groundhog 

As reliable experts in handling groundhog removal, we can get in there and remove the reasons why they might find your area appealing. They are often found burrowing into homes during the spring and the summer, and will usually stay close to their burrow. This means that if you have a set of groundhogs near or in your home, the burrow is usually within 100-150ft of where you have found them.

They tend to build near homes, roads and locations that allows them to feel guarded and safe from other animals or creatures catching them off guard. While it’s very rare that a Groundhog would ever attack you, if one does it’s likely suffering from rabies or a similar problem. 

The best way to deal with these critters is to keep them out of your garden. From burrowing deeper fences into the ground to making sure you have outward-facing overhangs to stop them getting underneath or above, we can find ways to keep them out.
