Getting Rid of Groundhogs
Groundhogs are able to cause a significant amount of damage to homeowners' yards due to the burrows that they dig. As soon as you start noticing these burrows in your yard, it likely means that a groundhog is not far away. Call Critter Control of Toledo right away—our groundhog technicians are experienced and ready to take care of your groundhog problem. Some of the methods that we will implement to keep them away are:
- Wire mesh fences can be used to effectively keep groundhogs away from gardens and lawns.
- Fences should be buried at least a foot underground and have outward-facing overhangs at the top to prevent the animals from burrowing underneath or climbing over.
- In some cases, it may become necessary to run the electrified wire around the perimeter of fences.
