Groundhogs Getting Under Porch in Rocky Hill, NJ
This customer in Rocky Hill, NJ had a problem with several groundhogs nibbling on her plants and garden, and then harboring underneath her porch! After searching on the internet, she came across Little Rascals, called our office, and we were sent out to inspect and treat.
As we inspected the porch, we found several burrows made by the groundhogs around the porch. In order to safely retrieve them, we installed several positive sets over each one of the burrows and then installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the porch. A positive set is a device that's comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will guide the groundhogs safely into the heavy-duty device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the groundhogs will enter the devices! Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against all wildlife!
A short while after setting up our devices, we safely retrieved all of the groundhogs and then moved them to a new, safer location. We then installed another portion of Dig Defense® over the burrows and then placed a brand new lattice around the porch! Now the area is not only properly protected from groundhogs, but all nuisance wildlife too!
