Louisville Groundhog & Woodchuck Removal
Groundhog? Woodchuck? Beaver?
If it's gray or brown and living in a hole in your yard or underneath your backyard shed its likely a Groundhog. In Kentuckiana groundhogs do massive damage to the foundation of houses, retaining walls, and other manmade structures when they create an elaborate network of tunnels underneath your home.
Call Louisville Critter Ridder to get groundhogs out of your home and off of your property as quickly as possible.

Groundhogs are prolific diggers, and in Louisville they've adapted from field edges to backyards, digging dens under sheds, decks, porches and slab additions. A single burrow system can move several hundred pounds of soil and undermine footers - a problem we see regularly in Okolona, Fern Creek, Jeffersontown and across Southern Indiana. Kentucky groundhogs hibernate from roughly November to February, then emerge hungry; spring garden damage and fresh dirt piles beside foundations are the classic first signs. Because they're true hibernators, the window for effective removal and burrow closure matters - call us and we'll time it right.
Groundhog & Woodchuck Removal Questions, Answered
A groundhog dug under my shed - is that really a problem?
Yes. Groundhog burrow systems run 20-30 feet with multiple chambers and exits, and they undermine shed slabs, deck footings, and even home foundations. Abandoned burrows also invite skunks and rabbits. We remove the animal, collapse the burrow system, and install buried barriers so nothing re-digs it.
