Woodchuck trapping under decks,sheds and porches. Guaranteed exclusion barriers.
Groundhogs can be very dangerous to both pets and humans.
Groundhog trapping is the best way to control these nusiance animals. Groundhogs and woodchucks can destroy sheds, gardens, landscaping, and farm crops. Groundhogs love to burrow. They will burrow under sheds and buildings causing massive structural damage. Their damage cost our customers a lot of money. In addition, groundhogs can be a danager to your pets.
First, there are roundworms. Dogs can get roundworms if they eat a dead groundhog. Second, they can get fleas and ticks from wild animals like woodchucks. Then, although rare, they can transfer tularemia. It affects the eyes, skin, lungs, and lymph nodes. If your pet gets bit and is unvaccinated, there is a chance of rabies. Instead of using ineffective poison repellents, call Awesome Critter Gitters. We will remove the pests and install barriers to prevent their return.
Humane Woodchuck-Groundhog Trapping
Both Indiana and Michigan State law requires legally trapped nuisance animals to be released on PRIVATE PROPERTY YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO RELEASE ON. Releasing Groundhogs down the road “in the wild” or “in the woods” is illegal and results in the property owner suffering crop loose and or property damage. There is NO wild land in either State. Releasing animals on the side of the road or on public property results in what we call “killing with kindness”. When you and 100 people like you release on public property, in doesn’t end well. The displaced animal and the animals already living there suffer an overpopulation starvation or diseased death.
All Fur Bearing Animals are Regulated and/or Protected by State!
Above all, every fur bearing animals are regulated and or protected by the State. Therefore, It is illegal to restrain, transport or release non nuisance animals. Every year we have numerous people call us to handle non-target protected animals they never anticipated catching. Most of these, lack of foresight, catches results in inhumane, illegal animal cruelty, especially Skunks.
Don't be Cruel To Groundhogs
Since Groundhogs succumb to heat stroke very easily. In effect, prefer to stay underground for this reason. Unlike live cage traps that cause the groundhog a great amount of pain and discomfort, we prefer to implement traps that humanely kill the groundhog instantly. Most importantly, our professional trapping techniques results in virtually 100% target animal catches.
