Let’s get one thing straight: groundhogs may look adorable with their tiny hands and bushy tails, but don’t be fooled. These little guys can wreak havoc on your carefully cultivated garden.
From munching on your leafy greens to digging tunnels that disrupt root systems, groundhogs don’t make the best neighbors for your plants.
And before you know it, you’ll be waving goodbye to your tomatoes, lettuce, and even some young tree bark if you let these critters stick around.
Don’t let groundhogs take over your garden. Here’s how to spot the signs that you have these critters in your yard and promptly deal with them.

If you spot any of these telltale signs, then it’s likely that you’ve got a groundhog issue.
