Happy with the service so far. Still to early to know if the bat issue we have has been resolved or I would have given a 5 star rating. They were very informative and quickly performed the necessary work to address the problem.

Shamrock Wildlife is a terrific company! I have hired them twice and would recommend them to anyone. They are so attentive, efficient, professional and honest! My first experience was a groundhog problem they completely took care of. First they excluded him from under my shed, then came back and sealed off any future attempts by Mr. Groundhog to build his home. Never had another problem with the heavy wire screen they installed at ground level, even going into ground to prevent digging. I was so pleased with their work that I called them first when my second wildlife problem arose.

Bats! Yuck! They promptly found the entry points! After testing for current infestation they sealed up the roof to avoid re-entry. Next they vacuumed out entire attic insulation, then they disinfected attic before blowing in all new, clean insulation. I am so pleased with their wonderful job!! Bat remediation is the best feeling, knowing my house is now free and clear. Yes, Shamrock is the way to go!

We had a squirrel move into the walls between our townhome over the summer. Shamrock came out and gave me an quote and setup the trap the same day. It was on the second floor where he had to work around electrical lines. Very professional and informative about the situation. They checked the trap daily until they caught the culprit. They removed their trap and covered the hole until we could get the siding repaired. Reasonably priced and efficient service. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Connor and crew are in sync with their experience, whether it’s catch n release or just keeping the critters out. I’ve used Shamrock 3 times now and each project was completed quickly and successfully.

Shamrock Wildlife were great to deal with, detailed on what I could expect with the trapping, daily checking on traps, and cleanup. It was easy to schedule, easy to pay online. They were able to capture a couple raccoons and an unexpected possum that were constantly using my yard as a bathroom, even adding some extra nights as the raccoons weren’t showing up. After the service, they checked in to notify me of what was caught, and options available if the need arises again. Would definitely use again if the need ever comes up again.

Shamrock Wildlife Services is just the best. They are consistently thorough, fair and a pleasure to work with. Best of all, they solved my racoon problem! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Shamrock! Connor and the whole staff are all very responsive and were always in contact with us throughout the whole process. We had a bat problem in our attic and they came out within the week got everything set up and checked in often to see how it was going. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend. Conor came out quickly and removed raccoons who had moved into our furnace flue. Also did some preventative work to discourage future wildlife visitors. Great communication and timely service.

Very knowledgeable and professional! Conor provided a very thorough explanation of their services and the prices are very competitive. I contacted Shamrock after a neighbor had used them and would highly recommend for any wildlife issues at your home.

We provide safe groundhog removal with different methods to keep groundhogs from digging at the foundation of your deck or house.

Both their diet and burrowing habits make them a nuisance animal around farms and gardens. They will eat many commonly grown vegetables and their burrows can destroy small ponds and undermine foundations. Groundhog dens often provide homes for other animals including skunks, foxes, raccoons, and cottontail rabbits. You can easily identify groundhog dens because the usually will mound up soil outside the entrance.

What do we do for Groundhog problems?

We use a variety of control methods. We trap most of our groundhogs live and remove them from the property. We also like to perform an exclusion to wherever a groundhog may have been living, under porch or foundation etc. Essentially, we will create a barrier to keep other animals from doing the same thing again. We charge a flat rate to solve your groundhog problem. However, when performing a more permanent mitigation process to keep them from coming back, rates fluctuate from property to property.

To keep groundhogs off your property:

  • Harvest all crops as soon as possible.
  • Keep brush and debris piles down.
  • Trim back plants groundhogs will eat or use for cover.
  • Be sure to properly maintain or remove decks and other foundations where groundhogs might burrow or build dens.

Random Facts

  • Groundhogs are the largest species of the squirrel family.
  • Other names for the groundhog include whistle pig, woodchuck, and land-beaver.
  • Groundhogs are skilled climbers and swimmers which aides them in eluding less skilled predators.
  • Groundhog burrows are so complex they have a separate bathroom for each chamber.
  • Groundhog burrows were responsible for uncovering a historic village in Ohio.
