Woodchucks—also known as groundhogs—can cause significant damage to properties across Massachusetts. Their extensive burrowing habits can undermine foundations, damage lawns, and create safety hazards around homes, sheds, and outbuildings. At Pioneer Valley Wildlife Services, we provide safe, humane, and effective woodchuck removal services designed to protect your property and prevent future damage.
Our approach focuses on responsible removal and long-term prevention—not temporary fixes.

Woodchucks are powerful diggers and often establish large burrow systems near structures. Common signs of woodchuck activity include:
If left unaddressed, woodchuck burrows can expand quickly and lead to costly structural issues.

At Pioneer Valley Wildlife Services, we use a structured, humane process tailored to each property.
We locate active burrows, travel routes, and areas of structural concern.
Our techniques safely remove woodchucks while following best practices and Massachusetts wildlife regulations.
After removal, we properly close burrows and install barriers to prevent re-entry and new digging activity.
We offer exclusion and wildlife maintenance services to keep woodchucks and other burrowing animals away year-round.
We don’t just remove woodchucks—we protect your property from ongoing damage.
Pioneer Valley Wildlife Services proudly serves Hampden, Hampshire, and surrounding counties, helping homeowners, landlords, and property managers resolve woodchuck problems safely and effectively.
If you’re noticing large burrows, damaged landscaping, or repeated groundhog activity near your home, don’t wait. Early action can prevent serious structural and property damage.
