Is Wildlife NY licensed for groundhog removal?
Yes. Wildlife NY holds a New York State DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control license. All work in West Harlem is performed by licensed, insured professionals using humane methods.
Can groundhogs really be a problem in Manhattan?
While uncommon in most of Manhattan, groundhogs are established in several uptown parks and regularly burrow along park boundaries where park grounds meet building foundations. Riverside Drive and Fort Washington Avenue properties have experienced groundhog foundation burrow issues.
How does Wildlife NY remove groundhogs from a Manhattan park-adjacent property?
Park-adjacent Manhattan groundhog removal uses live trapping placed at burrow entrances, followed by transport per NYS DEC guidelines. Entry points are then sealed with hardware cloth to prevent recolonization from the park population.
Can groundhog burrows damage Manhattan sidewalks or building foundations?
Yes. Groundhog burrows beneath sidewalk slabs in Upper Manhattan have caused cracking and settling. When burrows extend under building foundations, the excavated void can allow soil movement and moisture infiltration over time.
