GROUNDHOG

Ground Hog | Alpha Wildlife

It is an industrious and stocky mammal with relatively short legs and elongated claws on its front feet. Males and females are similar in appearance, although men are slightly bigger. 

Open woodlands, forest edges, farm pastures, grassland, pastures, fields, suburban lawns, gardens, and grassy rights of way and utility corridors provide habitat for this mammal. They are adept at thriving in human-dominated landscapes.

While they breed typically in their second year, a small percentage may regenerate in the first year. The breeding season starts when it emerges from hibernation in early March. 

Groundhogs use their acute vision, keen hearing, and sense of smell to distinguish danger and escape for their safety. Their sensitivity heightens their sense of direction and navigation from a gland in their jaw.

When afraid, they emit a shrill whistle, followed by a chattering, chuck sound. They can become fierce opponents when confronted by predators such as dogs, coyotes, and foxes.

What is 7+4?

They are excellent diggers and dig both simple and complex burrow systems. Most burrow systems are 25 to 30 feet deep and 2-5 feet.

Groundhogs can cause the following four types of damage:

  • Damage to residential gardens and crops such as beans, peppers, squash, and greens.
  • Unexpected incursions into gardens and associated laundry rooms
  • Destroy landscaping, plants in yards and parks, and similar destructions in farm communities
  • Damage to fruit and ornamental trees, and occasionally to decks and home siding

A highly effective method of controlling this critter is building an extensive fence of at least 3 feet.

We were really impressed with Chris Mclain’s knowledge of pest control. He was so professional in his explanation of what we needed to have done. His bid was also much lower than our other bid. We highly recommend this company for any pest elimination you need. Michael and Ashley Robilio.

Matt at Alpha Wildlife is such a nice and professional guy. I always like to hire veteran owned companies and you can tell that he has that demeanor about him. He was able to help with the squirrels in our attic in Bartlett, TN. Great guy.

David and Matt at Alpha Wildlife are awesome to work with. We live in Germantown, TN and had rats in our home. They were quick to diagnose the problem and got the rats out of our home. Great work from both of them.

After calling multiple other companies to remove a possibility rabid racoon from my property and was told they could not get to me until the next day, I called Alpha Wildlife. Chris came out within 30 minutes of my call and caught and removed racoon. He said they would check to make sure it was sick. If so they would euthanize humanely. If it was not sick they would release it back into the wild. This made my daughter very happy. I would highly recommend.
