⚠️ Peak Burrowing Season

Groundhogs are at maximum activity — feeding, expanding burrows, and raising young. Foundation and structural damage accelerates during this period. A single burrow can undermine a deck footing or concrete slab within one season.

Groundhog Removal in Blodgett, Missouri — Local Context

Groundhog populations in the Midwest are exceptionally dense, particularly in agricultural transitional zones of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. Groundhogs hibernate from late fall through early spring, then emerge to establish new burrows — frequently under the same foundations and structures year after year unless exclusion is completed after removal.

All wildlife removal in Missouri is regulated by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Our Blodgett contractor is fully licensed under the Missouri Department of Conservation and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Groundhog Removal in Blodgett

How much does groundhog removal cost in Blodgett, Missouri? +
Groundhog trapping and removal in Missouri typically costs $150–$400+. If burrows have undermined a deck, shed, or foundation in Blodgett, 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 Blodgett? +
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 Missouri 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 Missouri? +
Groundhogs in Missouri 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 Blodgett. They hibernate again from November through February.
Will groundhog repellents work on my Blodgett property? +
Commercial repellents and home remedies provide limited, temporary deterrence. They will not remove a groundhog that already has an active burrow on your Blodgett property. Trapping followed by physical exclusion — burying hardware cloth along the foundation — is the only reliable solution across Missouri.
Who regulates groundhog removal in Missouri? +
Groundhog removal in Missouri is regulated by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Nuisance groundhogs can generally be trapped and relocated by licensed professionals. Your Blodgett contractor holds all required state permits and uses trapping methods approved under Missouri wildlife regulations.
