Groundhog Trapping in Haddonfield, NJ
Haddonfield's groundhogs live along the Crows Woods and Cooper River edges and commute into the borough's back gardens, where a burrow under a 1920s detached garage can quietly cost more than the car inside it. Acorn Wildlife in Cherry Hill, NJ traps the animal and closes the excavation properly.
Short answer: Acorn Wildlife live-traps Haddonfield groundhogs at the burrow entrance with daily checks, checking for pups in spring. We then backfill the runs and trench a buried barrier along the garage, shed, or garden edge so the den site stays closed.
Where Haddonfield Groundhogs Burrow
You'll spot the main entrance as a 10 to 12 inch hole with a fan of thrown soil, often tucked between a garage slab and the back fence, with a cleaner secondary exit hidden in a bed nearby. The damage profile is specific to old construction: many Haddonfield garages sit on shallow unreinforced slabs poured a century ago, and a season of tunneling under an edge is enough to crack and drop a corner. Gardens, meanwhile, are simply lunch.
Short answer: Along the green edges and under the borough's oldest slabs. The blocks backing Crows Woods, the Cooper River parks, and the PATCO embankment supply the animals; unfooted detached garages, garden sheds, and stone-pier porch additions supply the roofs. A vegetable garden within thirty feet closes the deal.
Timing a Borough Groundhog Job
Groundhogs here emerge in late February and March, breed immediately, and keep pups in the burrow from April into June, so spring jobs start with a pup check; nobody wins if a litter is left under your garage. Trapping runs most efficiently from midsummer through September while animals feed hard ahead of hibernation, and New Jersey requires daily trap checks, which we keep. After October a silent burrow may still hold a hibernating animal, so we verify vacancy before backfilling anything.
A Recent Groundhog Job in Haddonfield
A back garden two blocks off Kings Highway, hard against the Crows Woods side: tomatoes stripped nightly and a fresh soil fan against the 1920s garage slab. Two trap-nights removed the resident, and a probe found the second exit under the raised beds. We backfilled both runs, trenched hardware cloth in an L along the slab edge and the garden's woods-facing side, and the garage corner stopped settling where it stood.

It takes as long as it takes: often an hour, sometimes two. There is no charge for the visit.
