Milwaukee Woodchuck Removal

Facts & Information

What are Woodchucks?

Commonly referred to as groundhogs, woodchucks are short, stocky mammals with light to dark brown fur and a flat, bushy tail. They are excellent burrowers that dig extensive tunnels with multiple chambers. This digging ability can be quite problematic to the structural integrity of decks and sheds. Groundhogs are true hibernators that sleep through the winter. Woodchucks are about 1-2 feet in length and weigh around 5-10 pounds.

Why Do I Have Them?

Woodchucks are common in Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin. A woodchuck can cause more damage to the structure of a home than any other animal. We have seen decks and sheds collapse because of their burrowing and tunnels. Woodchucks also love their greens. Gardens, flowers, and abundant vegetation will attract woodchucks onto your property.
