  • Curved claws on the front paws
  • Front paw immediately followed by the rear track
  • Round to oval pellets

Common Groundhog Damage

Groundhogs will damage gardens, landscaping, and fruit or ornamental trees. They will consume grasses, clover, garden vegetables, berries, and more. Groundhogs will gnaw on trees to help wear down their teeth. Groundhogs develop costly damage quickly. Call Shelton’s Wildlife Removal for professional groundhog damage repair.
