Michiana Wildlife specializes in the humane and safe removal of groundhogs (also known as woodchucks) as well as moles from residential and commercial properties. These services are essential for preventing the damage these animals can cause to gardens, lawns, and structures with their burrowing activities.

Our team uses a variety of methods, such as live trapping and relocation, to address infestations while minimizing harm to the animals. Additionally, we often offer preventative measures to deter future intrusions, ensuring property owners can enjoy a pest-free environment.

Wondering How to Get Rid of Groundhogs or Moles?

If you’re dealing with groundhogs or moles tearing up your yard or garden, you’ve probably searched for ways to get rid of them. However, DIY solutions often fall short and can lead to more frustration. Here’s why professional removal of groundhogs and moles is the best option:

Expert Assessment & Prevention

Our team of professionals will assess your property to find where groundhogs or moles are entering and damaging your yard. We’ll not only remove the animals but also identify areas vulnerable to future invasions, implementing strategies to stop them from returning. Without this expert prevention, you may only be addressing the surface problem without fixing the root cause.

Long-Term Solutions

Getting rid of groundhogs and moles isn’t just about trapping them; it’s about preventing them from coming back. We provide long-term solutions like exclusion techniques and habitat modification to make sure your property stays free of burrowing animals. These preventative measures can save your landscape from recurring damage and costly restoration.

Avoiding Property Damage

Groundhogs and moles can cause significant damage to your yard and landscaping with their burrowing. Moles create unsightly tunnels that can ruin your lawn, while groundhogs’ extensive digging can weaken foundations, fences, or other structures. Professional removal addresses the issue before it escalates into a bigger, more expensive problem, keeping your property safe from further destruction.

Signs of Groundhogs/Moles On Your Property

Groundhogs and moles can cause significant disruption to your property with their digging and tunneling habits. Early detection is essential to mitigate the damage they can inflict on your lawn, garden, or landscaping. Here are some common signs that groundhogs or moles might be present on your property:

1. Mounds and Raised Ridges

Moles create distinctive raised ridges and mounds as they tunnel just below the surface of your lawn. These ridges can crisscross your yard, leaving visible damage to the turf.

2. Large, Circular Holes

Groundhogs dig large, circular burrows with wide openings, often found near the base of trees, foundations, or along fences. These burrows can be several feet deep and may have multiple entrances.

3. Damaged Plants and Crops

Both groundhogs and moles can wreak havoc on gardens and crops. Groundhogs are known to feed on a wide range of vegetation, leaving chewed plants or missing produce. Moles, while primarily insectivores, can dislodge plants as they tunnel beneath the soil.

4. Loose Soil

If you notice patches of loose or disturbed soil, it could be the result of moles pushing soil to the surface as they dig their tunnels. This is especially noticeable in garden beds and lawn areas.

5. Droppings

Groundhog droppings are often found near their burrow entrances. These are small, dark, and pellet-like, which can help in identifying their presence.

6. Tracks and Trails

Groundhogs leave clear tracks with four toes on the front feet and five on the back. Moles, although less visible above ground, can sometimes leave faint trails of disturbed soil as they push through the earth.
