If you have found an injured or orphaned groundhog(s) please contact Nature’s Nursery.   The best way to remove a groundhog is by sprinkling red pepper flakes (or other hot spices) around the den that it is living. This does not harm the animal and it will choose to live elsewhere if it is uncomfortable. There are many laws involved if you trap an animal. It must be released elsewhere on your property, it must be released within 24 hours, if it is euthanized by a nuisance trapper and later you find its babies, they must also be euthanized. Refer to the Trapping section in this document under general information for more information about Trapping animals. Another option is adding predator urine to the surrounding area. This can be purchased at hunting supply stores such as Bass Pro.
