Kingston Wildlife Trapper Tip of the Month:
What Can I Use To Trap A Groundhog?

Trapping a Groundhog

Groundhogs cause destruction all across your yard and garden. They are a pest that you need gone right away.

Trapping, for most people, is one of the best solutions. Both kill and live traps can work, and both are highly effective solutions.

Professionals love to use traps because of their high success rates. Traps are easy to set and do work when placed properly.

For people with limited experience or knowledge with trapped, though, it can seem somewhat overwhelming, at least at first. It is an easy thing to understand and implement, however, so do not feel too frightened going into it. There are some basics to know before getting started.



Live Traps

People generally prefer live traps because they do not want to harm the animal nor do they want to deal with a dead animal on their property. Neither are desirable, and live traps make for a perfect alternative to that.

Live traps are incredibly simple. Anyone can place a live trap with minimal effort and great results thanks to their straightforward design.

Figure out where the groundhog is likely to leave the ground and place the trap near there. You want the groundhog to smell the bait and be close to the trap.

Camouflage the trap somewhat so that it does not scare the groundhog. Place bait that groundhogs like, like fruits or whatever it takes from your garden, and leave.

At night, the groundhog is going to come out of its hole and go into the trap, most likely. Once that happens, you can pick up and remove the groundhog from your property.

Remember to clean up and maintain your property to avoid groundhogs returning.

Kill Traps

Kill traps are slightly different from live traps in set up. You still want to figure out which hole they are most likely to go through, but you have to place the trap differently.

While it depends on the kill trap itself, placement is generally right at the hole. When the groundhog leaves, the trap will close on it and kill it immediately.

Pick up and remove the dead groundhog, disposing of the body and putting away the trap. Wear protective gear during this and avoid touching the body yourself.

Trapping groundhogs, with live or kill traps, is a straightforward process. Thanks to the availability of traps and bait, anyone can do this with relative ease and great results.
