Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, can remove 700 pounds of soil to complete a 20 to 25-foot-long burrow with multiple chambers which pose a serious threat to agricultural and residential developments by damaging farm machinery and undermining building foundations.
In your garden the groundhog seeks beans, peas, herbs, strawberries, pansies, and impatiens.
Do you have a live groundhog trap and need to know what the best groundhog bait options are? Havahart® recommends the following baits to attract groundhogs:
