Is Wildlife NY licensed for groundhog removal?
Yes. Wildlife NY holds a New York State DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control license. All work in Gowanus is performed by licensed, insured professionals using humane methods.
Are groundhogs really a problem in urban Brooklyn?
Groundhogs are present in Brooklyn wherever there is sufficient green space and undisturbed soil, including park margins, cemetery grounds, and larger rear yards. While less common than in Nassau or Westchester, Brooklyn groundhog calls have increased as park-adjacent developments expand.
How deep do groundhog burrows go in Brooklyn yards?
Groundhog burrows typically extend two to five feet underground and can run six to ten feet horizontally. Brooklyn burrows near foundations are a particular concern because the excavated soil can create voids that allow surface settling and water infiltration.
What prevents groundhogs from returning after removal in Brooklyn?
After trapping and removal, Wildlife NY installs hardware cloth barriers around vulnerable structures including foundation perimeters and deck bases. In Brooklyn rear yards, eliminating brush piles and tall weeds that provide cover also reduces reinfestation risk.
