Professional pest control services manage groundhog populations through humane trapping and exclusion techniques.

    Chipmunk

    Chipmunks

    Chipmunks may be small, but they cause considerable damage by digging up gardens and flower beds. They also chew on structures and wiring, leading to potential repair costs. Effective control measures include habitat modification and exclusion methods to prevent chipmunks from accessing buildings.
