Groundhog Control in Bayonne, NJ And Surrounding Areas

When Woodchucks Decide Your Yard Is Their New Favorite Restaurant

That chubby critter waddling across your lawn at dawn? Yeah, that’s a groundhog, and it’s not just passing through—it’s moved in. These chunky rodents (some folks call them woodchucks) can absolutely wreck your garden, dig tunnels that turn your yard into Swiss cheese, and create safety hazards you definitely don’t need.

Here’s the thing about groundhogs: they eat. A lot. We’re talking about a pound of your vegetables every single day during growing season. Got a garden? They’ll treat it like an all-you-can-eat buffet. And before you think your fruit trees are safe because they’re up high—think again. These guys can climb.

Their tunnel systems? Those can stretch over 20 feet underground, potentially messing with your foundation, sidewalks, and anything else below ground. Not exactly what you want happening under your property.

At Clearview Pest Control, we’ve handled plenty of groundhog situations around Bayonne and the surrounding areas. We know how these animals think, when they’re most active, and the best ways to deal with them humanely while actually solving the problem long-term.

Give us a call at 347-224-2581for professional groundhog trapping and removal. We’ll get them off your property and make sure they don’t come back—all while following local wildlife regulations.

The Real Cost of Having Groundhogs Around

One groundhog can destroy hundreds of dollars worth of vegetables and plants in a season. Seriously. Their burrows create trip hazards (ask us how many twisted ankles we’ve heard about), can damage your lawnmower if you hit one, and worst of all, they can undermine the stability of structures on your property.

Why DIY Groundhog Removal Usually Doesn’t Work

Groundhogs are smarter than you’d think. They figure out traps pretty quickly if they’re not set up right. Plus, their burrow systems are complicated—multiple entrances, emergency exits, the whole deal. It’s like trying to evict someone from an underground apartment complex.

Effective groundhog control Bayonne residents can count on requires understanding how these animals behave and using techniques that actually work. Not to mention, there are local regulations about wildlife removal that you need to follow.

How We Handle Groundhog Problems

Our groundhog burrow removal process is thorough:

Burrow Assessment– We map out the entire tunnel system and find every entrance (there are usually more than you’d think)

Humane Removal– We use proper trapping methods that work and relocate the animals appropriately

Exclusion Work– Once they’re gone, we make sure they can’t come back. This is the part most people skip, and it’s why they end up with groundhogs again next season

Damage Repair– We can help with repairing groundhog damage to structures and landscaping that’s been affected by their digging
