Dangers of Groundhog Damage

Groundhogs may look harmless, but their burrowing can lead to:

  • Foundation damage from tunnels under patios, porches, or sheds

  • Weakened structures due to soil displacement

  • Landscape and garden destruction from constant feeding

Early intervention is key to preventing costly repairs.
