When groundhogs burrow near homes, gardens or buildings, they can become a pest. Although property owners may want to get rid of them as soon as possible, wildlife professionals and/or the government may have regulations about handling wild animals. Laws differ from place to place, and if laws are not obeyed, then the consequences could be fines or unplanned damage to local ecosystems. It is important to be aware of the legal and wildlife issues before taking action.
