All About Groundhogs - Baits

groundhog control, woodchuck control

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.

Suggested groundhog baits


Do you have a live groundhog trap and need to know what the best groundhog bait options are? Havahart® recommends the following Critter Library - Groundhog baitbaits to attract groundhogs:

Fresh string beans 
Sweet corn
Lettuce
Peas
Cantaloupe**
Strawberries
Cucumbers
Peaches
Vanilla extract

 

 **In our field tests, Cantaloupe has always been a clear winner in attracting Groundhogs...

 

The best way to bait a trap with Cantaloupe is to first cut up the cantaloupe into sizeable chunks (2" by 2").  Now take the trap outside about 3 ft from the burrow.  Rub the cantaloupe rin and juices all over the trap, inside and outside.  Set the trap and place some of the fruit on the inside of the trap, towards the back portion (after the trigger plate).  Also, place the fruit under the trigger plate for added interaction.  Next, take some of the cantaloupe and rub in on the grass making a path of cantaloupe juice from the trap to the burrow.  Leave a couple pieces of cantaloupe at the top of the burrow.  Give it 24 hrs. ... and you’ve caught yourself a groundhog.  If you don’t catch one in 24 hours … no worries … leave the bait as it is … the more rotten the cantaloupe, the more enticing to the groundhog. 

 

 

Watch Billy Bretherton from "The Exterminator" a Wednesday evening show on A&E as he explains Havhart traps and how to bait them. 

 

Don't let the show's name fool you; Billy is a big fan of Havahart® and live trapping.
