Local knowledge

Groundhogs in Folcroft

Next to the refuge

Groundhogs and foxes dig under sheds and decks in the Folcroft yards closest to the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge.

Darby Creek

Darby Creek runs past Folcroft too, so groundhogs are never far away.

What to look for

Signs it is a groundhog

  • A wide hole with a mound of fresh dirt beside it
  • Digging under a shed, deck, porch or the foundation
  • Vegetables and flowers eaten down to the ground
  • A groundhog seen in the yard during the day

Before we arrive

Until we get there

  • Do not fill the hole while the groundhog is inside. It will dig another way out.
  • Keep dogs away from the burrow. A cornered groundhog bites.
  • Count the holes you see. A burrow usually has more than one entrance.

How the job goes

1 · Find the burrow

We find the active holes and where the animal is living.

2 · Trap it

We set traps at the burrow and come back to check them, so an animal is never left sitting in one.

3 · Block the burrow

Once it is out we fill or block the holes.

4 · Keep it out

We can screen under the shed, deck or porch with mesh set into the ground, so it cannot dig back.

Price

What changes the price

We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code. Each return visit to check a trap has its own price, and we tell you that on the phone too.

  • How many groundhogs and burrows there are
  • Whether there are young
  • How big the space under the structure is
