High Quality Muskrat Control Services In MN
Detecting & Identifying Muskrat Presence
Muskrat are capable of creating a wide variety of damage to waterfront properties. Some common ones include:
- Collapsed shorelines and lawns: Muskrats will construct subterranean burrows with underwater entrances that can extend far into lawns and adjacent shoreline areas. These shallow underground burrows will often collapse underfoot or when mowed over.
- Plugged culverts and drainage tiles
- Feeding damage to native shoreline vegetation, ornamental and agricultural plantings
- Damage to watercraft:
- Chewed rubber of inboard motor seals, wiring, and plastic hoses
- Soiled areas from feeding platforms and toilet areas
- Damage to fountains and irrigation systems: Chewed water supply tubing and electrical wiring harnesses
- Docks and shoreline structures:
- Muskrats will set up residence in, on or under many styles of docks and boathouses
- When so equipped, dock floatation devices can have severe chewing damage
- Damage to seawalls, dikes, embankments, retaining walls, rip-rap and other shoreline landscaping: Burrowing can undermine the structural integrity of these areas
- Damage to pond liners and aerators: Chewing and burrowing will compromise these areas
Dispersing muskrats are sometimes caught in chain link fences, window wells, and other unexpected locations. They will occupy a vacant lodge they encounter, or build their own out of local vegetation and mud into a telltale round shape, or simply burrow into shorelines areas to create a den. This burrowing damage is among the most common of customer complaints we get. If you have a muskrat problem in the Twin Cities metro area, give us a call today.
