Groundhog Removal
Groundhog Burrowing at Your Property?
Borland Wildlife Solutions provides professional groundhog removal, burrow inspection, exclusion, damage evaluation, and prevention for homes, buildings, and properties across Nebraska. LET BORLAND HANDLE YOUR WILDLIFE!
Groundhog Problems Start Underground
Groundhogs can create extensive burrow systems around foundations, decks, sheds, barns, retaining walls, and landscaped areas. Those tunnels may weaken soil, create trip hazards, damage lawns and plantings, and attract concern when animals are repeatedly seen near the structure.
Our service page is built to help property owners understand the problem, identify likely activity, and take the next step toward professional inspection and removal. If you are seeing holes, mounds, damaged vegetation, or movement near a burrow entrance, Borland can inspect the site and recommend the right solution.
What We Inspect
What Borland Looks For
Active Burrows
Main entrances, secondary exits, fresh digging, and signs the burrow is currently in use.
Structural Risk
Burrowing near foundations, slabs, decks, porches, sheds, and retaining areas that may be affected by soil loss.
Yard Damage
Collapsed tunnels, worn travel paths, damaged gardens, chewed vegetation, and disturbed landscaping.
Entry Routes
How groundhogs are accessing the property, where they are feeding, and what conditions are encouraging repeat activity.
Safety Concerns
Trip hazards, equipment risks, pet conflicts, and areas where burrows create problems for people or livestock.
Prevention Needs
Fence improvements, exclusion details, habitat changes, and closure steps to reduce future burrowing.
Inspect, Remove, Exclude, Restore
Borland follows a professional service process designed to identify the problem clearly, remove the animal responsibly, address burrow-related concerns, and reduce the chance of repeat activity.
01
Inspect the Site
We inspect burrow locations, travel routes, feeding areas, structural concerns, and the surrounding property to understand the full scope of the issue.
02
Remove the Animal
We determine the appropriate removal approach based on the property, the activity level, and the conditions present on site.
Family-owned, Nebraska-based, and focused on wildlife problems that need real field experience.
03
Exclude and Secure
When appropriate, we recommend exclusion steps and site changes to discourage re-entry and reduce future burrowing pressure.
04
Address the Damage
We identify areas where burrowing has affected the yard, structure, or surrounding use areas so the next repair or restoration steps are clear.

Groundhog Removal FAQs
Common questions from Nebraska property owners dealing with burrows, damage, and groundhog activity.
What are the signs of a groundhog problem?
Common signs include burrow openings, mounded soil, damaged plants, worn travel paths, and repeated sightings of a groundhog near the same area of the property.
Why are groundhogs a concern around buildings?
Burrowing near structures can create soil instability, trip hazards, and damage concerns around decks, sheds, foundations, and landscaped areas.
Will a groundhog leave on its own?
Some activity changes seasonally, but an active burrow should be evaluated before assuming the problem is gone. Reuse of the site can continue if conditions remain favorable.
Do I need exclusion after removal?
In many cases, yes. Exclusion and site correction help reduce the chance of another animal using the same area or reopening the burrow system.
Can Borland help with damage concerns too?
Yes. We inspect the affected area and identify where burrowing has created property concerns so you understand what needs to be secured, repaired, or monitored next.
What if I am not sure the animal is a groundhog?
That is common. If you are seeing holes, movement near a structure, or signs of digging, Borland can inspect the property and help identify what is going on.
