Extermineo is a Montreal pest control company, certified and licensed by the Quebec Ministry of the Environment (No. 402363230), that gets rid of groundhogs across Greater Montreal: Montreal, Laval, the South Shore, the North Shore, the West Island and Vaudreuil-Soulanges.
No. We use live-capture cages, checked frequently to minimize stress, and the animal is released in suitable natural habitat. No cruel methods.
No: the groundhog will reopen it within hours or dig a new exit — sometimes somewhere worse. And if it's trapped inside, it dies under your structure. Capture first, closure after.
As soon as you see the animal or an entrance hole (20–30 cm with fan-shaped dirt). Avoid late fall: it hibernates and capture becomes impossible until spring while galleries keep weakening your structure through the thaw.
