Kosciusko County

Syracuse, North Webster & Milford Wildlife Trapping

Syracuse, North Webster, and Milford sit among the lakes of northern Kosciusko County — Lake Wawasee, Webster Lake, Tippecanoe Lake, and the Elkhart River — just north of Warsaw.

Wildlife Pressure Around the Lakes

Syracuse sits on Lake Wawasee, Indiana's largest natural lake, and Syracuse Lake next door; North Webster sits on Webster Lake and the Tippecanoe Lake chain; and Milford sits along the Elkhart River near Lake Papakeechie and Waubee Lake, close to the Elkhart County line. All three towns share the same lake-country conditions that make this part of Kosciusko County some of the heaviest mole, raccoon, and possum territory we trap in: shoreline lawns that stay damp well into fall, mature trees along the water, and docks, boathouses, and crawlspaces that give raccoons and possums easy cover close to the house.

Moles are especially active on irrigated lakefront lots and the cottages-turned-year-round-homes that ring Wawasee, Webster, and Papakeechie, where moist soil keeps grubs and earthworms near the surface long after inland lawns dry out. Away from the water, the farmland that separates the three towns means groundhog burrows near fence rows, outbuildings, and garden plots are the most common call from the Milford side and the county roads connecting Syracuse to North Webster.

One Crew Covering All Three Towns

Because Syracuse, North Webster, and Milford are all small lake and farm towns rather than one connected city, we treat them as one coverage area and keep a crew that knows the roads between them — SR 13, Dixie Highway, and the county roads around Webster and Wawasee — so a lakefront call in Syracuse or a farmland groundhog call outside Milford gets the same fast response as a job in Warsaw.

Seasonal lake traffic also means a lot of our calls here come from cottage owners opening up a property for the season and finding mole tunnels across the yard or a raccoon that moved into a boathouse or crawlspace over the winter. We can usually get a trapping program started the same week a problem is spotted, whether the property is a lakefront cottage or a farmhouse set back from the water.
