⚠️ 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 Round Top, Texas — Local Context

Groundhogs are uncommon in the true Southwest. In Oklahoma and eastern Texas, woodchucks exist at the western edge of their range but are far less common than in eastern states. Prairie dogs occupy a similar ecological niche in this region and are the more prevalent burrowing pest in the Southwest, causing comparable foundation and structural damage.

All wildlife removal in Texas is regulated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Our Round Top contractor is fully licensed under the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Groundhog Removal in Round Top

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