Groundhogs, a common wildlife pest, often burrow under decks seeking shelter or food. Their digging can damage structures, while their presence can attract other pests. Wildlife removal strategies for groundhogs include trapping and relocation, using exclusion netting to prevent entry, and applying repellents. Safety precautions should be taken to avoid bites or scratches, and property protection measures like sealing holes and removing nesting materials can prevent further damage.
