Groundhog Control
Seasonal Alert: Medium Activity
Groundhogs are diurnal (active during the day) from spring through autumn. Most activity happens in the early morning and early evening, when groundhogs emerge from their burrows to seek food. In summer and autumn, groundhogs increase their food intake to accumulate fat reserves, which they use to survive their hibernation period. If you encounter a problem with groundhogs, please contact Capital Wildlife Control for immediate assistance. We are the wildlife control experts in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and groundhog removal is our specialty.
Getting rid of a groundhog
What Can We Do For You?
The groundhog is a rodent, it digs deep galleries much like the mole and it eats the vegetables of the gardens by the roots. Much more than a nightmare for your gardens, the groundhog often hides under the balconies or under the garage. It seems harmless, but wait for the arrival of spring, you will see the damage it causes!

EVALUATE AND REMOVE |
Our wildlife technicians can help you in getting rid of groundhogs. They are trained to identify groundhog entry points, which, due to their excellent digging ability, are often found under porches, bridges and hangars. Access to the burrow is therefore often difficult. Using specialized suppression techniques, our technicians will gently pull the adult groundhogs out of their burrows. The groundhog babies are then gently placed in a heating box so that they can safely move them with their mother to the chosen host site. |
CLEAR AND CLEAN |
Capital Wildlife Control's groundhog control strategy is safe and reliable. Part of our time and even devoted to cleaning up any contaminated materials that could present serious health risks. Our wildlife technician will help you choose the best cleaning strategy based on the severity of the contamination. Thus, you will find a healthy home where your family can live safely without groundhog problems. |
