While groundhogs can be entertaining to watch they can also be destructive. The City Animal Control Officer's do not currently remove groundhogs in these situations. The HSUS has some simple recommendations for getting the groundhogs to relocate and then ways to seal the burrow to keep them from returning. You can find this information at the website: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/what-do-about-groundhogs#rid If you would like to speak with an animal control officer directly about other options please provide a phone number and we will give you a call.
