Who does humane groundhog removal near Dayton and Cincinnati?

Trap Your Moles provides humane groundhog trapping across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana. We live-trap the animal, handle it in line with state wildlife regulations, and can seal the burrow entrances so the next groundhog doesn't move in. Call (513) 518-5639.

There's a groundhog under my shed or deck. Is that a problem?

Yes — groundhog burrows displace a surprising amount of soil and can undermine slabs, footers, and foundations. The longer the burrow system grows, the more expensive the repair. Trapping the animal and closing the burrow early is far cheaper than fixing a sunken shed pad.

How do you get rid of a groundhog humanely?

We set live cage traps at the active burrow entrances, check them frequently, and remove the animal in accordance with Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana wildlife rules. No poisons and no gas cartridges.

I already caught a groundhog in my own trap. Will you come get it?

Yes. That's exactly what our trapped animal pickup service is for — tell us where the trap is and we'll come remove the animal humanely. See the Trapped Animal Removal page or call (513) 518-5639.

The Groundhog Problem

Groundhogs are powerful diggers that create extensive burrow systems beneath your property. A single groundhog can tunnel over 30 feet and move 35 cubic feet of soil, undermining decks, sheds, and foundations.

They also destroy gardens, chew through vegetation, and create safety hazards with sudden sinkholes. The structural damage they cause can cost thousands to repair.

Groundhog Damage: Signs to Look For

Groundhogs create extensive tunnel systems that undermine deck supports, damage foundations, and compromise structural integrity. Look for large burrow holes, collapsed soil, dirt mounds, and chewed vegetation near gardens and foundation areas.

Large burrow holes (3-4 inches diameter)
Mounds of excavated soil near burrows
Chewed plants, vegetables, and bark
Undermined deck posts and foundation support
Collapsed soil and sinkholes in yard
