Evidence of groundhogs

Groundhog tunnels are destructive and unsightly in your garden and lawn. They dig large holes, leave raised tunnels in their wake that can be up to 46 feet in length, and of course they eat all of your plants. Their holes and tunnels are dangerous if you unwittingly step in one and twist your ankle! In addition to being excellent at burrowing, groundhogs can also climb and swim - regular fences are often ineffective against them. They can do extensive damage to a garden in a short amount of time with their eating habits as well; particularly before they go into hibernation for the winter, they will bulk up, eating everything around at the peak of ripeness.

Remedies

In some states it is actually illegal to release a groundhog anywhere other than your own yard, so it is no use to trap and relocate these pests. Instead, if you have a problem with groundhogs, treat the desired area with I Must Garden’s Groundhog Repellent spray or use our concentrate for an even better deal. You can use it directly on your plants or spray it to saturate tunnels and entrances to burrows without the worry of over-spraying.

Safe and Effective

I Must Garden’s All Natural Groundhog Repellent will keep groundhogs away from your plants in a safe and humane manner. I Must Garden never uses harmful chemicals so you can use our groundhog repellent around your pets and family without the worry of harmful pesticide or toxic chemicals. Our all-natural ingredients will not harm plants or turf and they are safe for the environment. I Must Garden’s Groundhog Repellent is an effective and long lasting treatment for all landscaped areas, and as an added bonus, it does not have an unpleasant scent to dissuade you from working in your own garden.

We have the right size no matter the situation

Our Groundhog Repellent is available in a 32oz and 1 Gallon Ready-To-Use Spray and a 32oz Concentrate. The Concentrate makes 2.5 gallons of the Ready-To-Use, and our concentrated formula can be mixed and stored - it does not need to be used within 24 hours like many other chemical concentrates.

For added protection, use I Must Garden’s Granular Animal Repellent along with our Groundhog spray to make sure you always have a layer of protection in any weather!

How It Works

I Must Garden’s All Natural Groundhog Repellent works by making your protected plants smell and taste unappetizing to groundhogs. By blending carefully selected botanical oils with other tested ingredients we have developed a unique formula, specifically for these rodents. It will discourage them from snacking on your plants, but it will not hurt them. It discourages feeding on treated plants, forcing them to relocate and feed elsewhere. Some of the active ingredients include rosemary oil, thyme, garlic, and clove oil - which are all from plants that groundhogs naturally will not eat. It is a complex and strong mixture, formulated to last a long time and be the most effective.

Like all of our products, our Groundhog Repellent is fully guaranteed to work without having an unpleasant stench like other repellents on the market. Because we use only all natural ingredients, it is not harmful for the environment and is a safe alternative to use around your pets and family

Application Tips

Have you spotted large holes in your yard (10-12” in diameter) accompanied by mounds of dirt? Did something take a big bite out of your cucumber or tomato? Does it look like something is gnawing at the base of your fruit tree? These are some of the first indications of a groundhog taking up residence on your property. It is best to take action as soon as you notice the first signs of damage.

I Must Garden’s All Natural Groundhog repellent is an easy to use spray, which you can buy in Ready-To-Use bottles or as a concentrate. It works best and lasts longest on dry plants, and should be allowed at least one hour to dry before watering or rainfall. During heavy rainfall, or if you have an extensive groundhog problem, more frequent applications will be necessary. Spray your plants with a fine mist and repeat the application as necessary (usually every 1-2 inches of new plant growth). You may also saturate the ground and the holes to prevent the animals from re-entering and making their tunnels unpleasant.

In wet weather, or if you find yourself unable to spray as much as you would like because of fast-growing plants and your busy schedule, you can also use I Must Garden’s Granular Animal Repellent along with our groundhog spray. Just sprinkle it around the base of your plants to ensure that your new growth always has protection.
