HOW GROUNDHOG TRAPPING WORKS

A Strategic Setup Makes the Difference.

Groundhog trapping works best when the setup is based on active burrows, travel patterns and the layout of the property. We inspect the area, place traps where activity is strongest, and monitor the setup to keep the process moving efficiently.

Every property is different — so every trapping plan is tailored to the activity we find.
