"Joe Rangel from Great Lakes Pet Fencing is really good with our energetic labradoodle. Trust was developed quickly. Our dog trained extremely quickly and is able to run freely (without a leash) within the boundary. Our dog's freedom and our freedom is invaluable!"
"Neil was awesome. Through the whole process from the initial call to request a quote, get a quote, and determine a date of installation (which he accommodated an evening installation to work around my work schedule) to the physical installation, Neil was the epitome of 5-star service and he had a top-notch understanding of his system and setup. He's a proud owner of the local branch/franchise of the company, and it shows. He was easy to talk to not only about the fence but about family and life in general. By his representation, I would always go back to him for any support or new fences we may need in the future. And I highly recommend him for your own pet fence. He was great with our dog with training as well and he explained everything clearly and easily for continued training. I'm happy with everything about it!"
First, contact your local wildlife services department. Then, you should be able to remove the groundhog by making the environment uncomfortable for them using scent, sound, and light, or set a live trap with natural bait that allows you to relocate the groundhog at least 20 miles from your home.
If you discover a dead animal in your air ducts, address the issue promptly to prevent unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent further spread of contaminants and contact a professional HVAC technician or pest control specialist to remove the animal and clean the affected area. They have the tools and expertise to handle the situation, including removing and disinfecting contaminated ductwork. The technician will inspect the ducts for any damage or other issues that might have allowed the animal to enter.
Droppings from cockroaches, squirrels, mice, bats, and birds can resemble rat poop, making it easy to confuse one for another. Mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed, cockroach droppings resemble tiny black specks or ground pepper, and bat guano can look similar but usually crumbles into powder. Bird droppings sometimes have a similar shape, but often include white uric acid deposits. If in doubt, it’s best to consult a pest control professional for proper identification and removal.
Groundhogs usually keep their cool despite being easily spooked. However, there are exceptions—they might get defensive or territorial if they feel threatened or overly concerned. If they sense a threat to their babies, they could get feisty, too. These wild animals are not meant to be kept as pets. If you find babies or an injured groundhog, contact your local animal rescue or wildlife service for guidance.
