Groundhogs are also known as woodchucks or the “Whistle Pig” due to the high pitch noise they can make.

Distribution: Groundhog removal in Indianapolis can be difficult because they hibernate in the winter months and have their young in the late spring which is why you need professional assistance. Groundhogs burrow into the ground, making fairly large tunnels and dens. Their tunnels and dens may be as much as five feet underground. Groundhogs under a home can completely undermine the foundation of a home. Their dens and tunnels can also be a disaster for heavy farm machinery that runs over them. Although groundhogs are related to squirrels, groundhogs are much larger and may weigh from 5 to 8 pounds.
Reproduction: They usually have two to five young at a time.

We can exclude and trap groundhogs. The most efficient way to deal with groundhogs is to trap them with a conibear trap. Groundhogs get skittish around live traps and rarely get caught in them. The conibear trap is placed right on top of the burrow they create, so when they try to get back in or out of the den (usually a 6”x 6” hole), they get caught in the killing trap.

Critter Removal Indianapolis was recently featured in Martha Stewart’s expert roundup, How to Get Rid of Groundhogs, where our wildlife specialist Bryor shared guidance on natural deterrents, long-term prevention, and humane groundhog removal. It’s a recognition we’re proud of — and a reflection of the approach we bring to every job. Our humane groundhog removal services prioritize live trapping, professional exclusion, and structural prevention so groundhogs are gone for good without harm.
A lot of Indianapolis homes are 50+ years old — older, historic homes with Victorian molding, slate roofs, clay tile roofs, and tighter neighborhoods where homes are close together. If the upkeep hasn’t been there, those homes are prime opportunity for raccoons. On the north and northeast side — Fishers, Carmel, Westfield — it’s newer builds and subdivisions, but they have their own issues: natural separation points in how the homes were built that wildlife can exploit. People aren’t building homes to keep wildlife out.
We serve a 15-mile radius from downtown Indianapolis, covering Marion County and surrounding suburbs.
