Signs you have a woodchuck problem
Wildlife problems rarely fix themselves, and they often get more costly to deal with the longer they continue. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth having your property looked at early.
- Large burrow openings with a mound of fresh soil, often near sheds or foundations.
- Garden vegetables, flowers or crops eaten down to the ground.
- Sunken ground or collapsed soil near burrow entrances.
- Chewed wood or damaged siding around decks, sheds and porches.
- A large, heavy-bodied animal seen feeding in the yard.
How we remove woodchucks
- Inspection: we locate burrow openings and find out where the woodchuck is traveling and denning.
- Humane removal: we remove woodchucks humanely, using exclusion where it works for the site.
- Sealing and repairs: we close and fill burrow areas and block access under sheds, decks and porches.
- Follow-up: we check back to confirm the burrow is no longer in use and the repairs have held.
Our process follows the same careful, humane approach on every job and is adjusted to the animal and your property. We explain each step as we go, so you always know what is being done and why.

If you are not sure whether you have a woodchuck problem, call anyway and we will help you work out what is going on and what to do next.
Frequently asked questions
Can woodchucks damage my foundation?
Large burrows near sheds, decks and foundations can undermine the soil and cause settling, so it is worth addressing them early.
How do you keep woodchucks out of my garden?
After humane removal, we close the burrow and seal access points, and we can point out where the garden is most exposed.
Do you harm the woodchuck?
No. We use humane removal and exclusion methods.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Pricing varies quite a bit with the animal, the structure and the work needed. It is easiest to explain by phone, so call (231) 903-7255 for a free quote.
