When do groundhogs have babies? +

How do I keep groundhogs out of my garden? +
Heavy-gauge welded-wire fencing extending 12 inches below grade, top loose-bent outward. Soft mesh isn't groundhog-proof.

How much does groundhog removal cost in South Fulton, Georgia? +
Groundhog trapping and removal in Georgia typically costs $150–$400+. If burrows have undermined a deck, shed, or foundation in South Fulton, exclusion to prevent re-burrowing adds $200–$600+. Extensive foundation repair from burrow damage should be assessed by a contractor after removal is complete.
How do I know if a groundhog is under my deck in South Fulton? +
Look for a burrow entrance 5–8 inches in diameter, usually near the edge of your structure, with a mound of excavated soil nearby. Groundhog burrows in Georgia can extend 25–30 feet and reach 5 feet deep — enough to undermine concrete footings and deck support posts over one or two seasons.
When do groundhogs come out in Georgia? +
Groundhogs in Georgia emerge from hibernation in late February or March and immediately begin expanding or establishing burrows. Burrowing damage peaks in spring and early summer as they establish territories and raise young. By midsummer, juvenile groundhogs disperse from their birth burrow — often moving directly under neighboring structures in South Fulton. They hibernate again from November through February.
Will groundhog repellents work on my South Fulton property? +
Commercial repellents and home remedies provide limited, temporary deterrence. They will not remove a groundhog that already has an active burrow on your South Fulton property. Trapping followed by physical exclusion — burying hardware cloth along the foundation — is the only reliable solution across Georgia.
Who regulates groundhog removal in Georgia? +
Groundhog removal in Georgia is regulated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Nuisance groundhogs can generally be trapped and relocated by licensed professionals. Your South Fulton contractor holds all required state permits and uses trapping methods approved under Georgia wildlife regulations.
