Huntington Wildlife Trapping

Huntington is the hometown of former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle and home to Huntington University, sitting right at the historic Forks of the Wabash where the Wabash and Little Rivers meet.
Huntington Neighborhoods & Terrain
Huntington is the seat of Huntington County, sitting at the Forks of the Wabash where the Wabash and Little Rivers come together. In-town neighborhoods near Huntington University and the river valley give way quickly to farmland on every side of the city, and a lot of our calls come from exactly that edge — larger residential lots backing up to crop fields or pasture.
River-valley bottomland soil around the Wabash and Little Rivers holds moisture well, which supports the same grub and earthworm populations that draw moles into Huntington lawns. Out past the river valley, the sandier, well-drained soil typical of the surrounding farmland is easier for groundhogs to dig through, which is part of why burrow calls are so common along the edges of town.

Wildlife Pressure in Huntington by Season
Spring & Summer
Groundhogs along Huntington's farmland edges are most active, digging and re-digging burrows near foundations, sheds, and fence lines as they feed through the growing season.
Fall
Mole activity in river-valley lawns peaks at the same time groundhogs are feeding heavily to build fat reserves before hibernation — it's our busiest season for both animals in Huntington.
Winter
Groundhog activity drops off almost entirely once they hibernate, but raccoons and possums still turn up in sheds and outbuildings near the farmland edge.
What a Visit to Your Huntington Property Looks Like
A typical Huntington visit on a farmland-edge property starts by walking the fence line or field border to find where a groundhog burrow enters and exits — these systems usually have more than one opening once you're out past the city's in-town lots. Closer to the river and the university, we're usually looking at mole tunnels in older, established lawns instead.
Landmarks near our Huntington calls include the Forks of the Wabash, where the Wabash and Little Rivers meet, J. Edward Roush Lake (Huntington Lake) and the Huntington Reservoir, Huntington University.

Huntington Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Huntington properties get so many groundhog calls?
Huntington is surrounded by farmland on every side, and groundhog burrows are common right along the edge where a yard, fence line, or outbuilding meets open field — those edges give the animal easy cover and an easy travel route.
Is mole damage different near the Wabash River than out near the farmland?
In-town lawns near the river valley tend to be older and more established, so damage there is usually classic mole tunneling in mature turf, while farmland-edge properties see more mixed mole and groundhog activity.
Can you handle a groundhog burrow that's undermining a shed or foundation?
Yes — we map every entrance to the burrow system first, since there's almost always more than one, then trap along the animal's actual travel route before talking through backfilling the holes.
How fast can someone get to a Huntington property?
Typically about 30–35 minutes from our Fort Wayne base.
