Although cute, these herbivores can become a nuisance by establishing burrows
where people and large animals walk. Humans, horses and other large animals have
sustained fractures to their lower extremities when a foot is accidentally placed in
the burrow of a nuisance groundhog.
Being herbivores, groundhogs can become a nuisance
by burrowing under fencing and into garden areas,
helping themselves to leafy vegetables.
Groundhogs are a potential health threat, and
nuisance groundhogs in New Jersey are potential
rabies vectors. Groundhog droppings can also contain
roundworm. If pets or children come in contact with these parasites, either through
direct or indirect contact, it is possible to become infested. As far as carriers of
roundworm, however, groundhogs are low on probability.

These images were taken at the drainage retention pond on the
property of a national chain store. The groundhogs have caused
a serious erosion problem by burrowing into the steep banks of
the basin. In areas of the pond without active burrows, the
ground had collapsed, causing the erosion control problem.

Certified Animal Control Officers provide.
It is important to include exclusion (barrier) measures as part
of any wildlife damage control program. Call Garden State
