Groundhogs
Burrow under buildings and weaken ground around barns, sheds, and foundations.
Resolving conflicts between people and wildlife is what we do. We can evict unwelcome guests from homes, outbuildings, and yards — and stop the “free meals” at chicken coops, gardens, and pet bowls. Every situation is handled humanely, safely, and within legal boundaries. I’m a certified and licensed WNCO in the state of Kentucky.
I also specialize in controlling predator populations on hunting leases and livestock farms to help preserve ground-nesting birds, deer, and other small game, while protecting farmers’ livestock.
Focused wildlife management that protects homes, farms, and the land they depend on.
Raised local. Honest work. Done the right way.
I grew up Amish on a farm, around livestock and wildlife from an early age. The outdoors has always been part of my life — hunting, trapping, and solving real-world wildlife problems around farms and properties.
Over the years, that experience turned into a profession. I started Zook Wildlife Control because this is the kind of work I genuinely enjoy and take pride in doing.
I also document some predator controll on my channel, Bluegrass Trapper, so people can see how I think and operate before ever picking up the phone.
