Effective Muskrat Control and Removal Services in Michigan

Muskrats, those semi-aquatic rodents with their distinctive rat-like appearance and webbed hind feet, may seem like harmless creatures. However, when they take up residence on your property, they can quickly become a nuisance and even a potential threat to your landscaping and property value.

The Muskrat Problem & Solution

Muskrats are known for their burrowing habits, often creating extensive tunnel systems along the banks of ponds, lakes, and streams. While these burrows are a natural part of their behavior, they can also pose significant risks to your property.

Muskrat burrows can undermine the structural integrity of retaining walls, dams, and other water control structures, leading to costly repairs or even catastrophic failures. Additionally, their burrowing activities can cause erosion and destabilize the banks of waterways, potentially leading to flooding or property damage.

Furthermore, muskrats are known to feed on aquatic vegetation, which can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems and contribute to the degradation of natural habitats. Their presence can also be a nuisance, as they may create unsightly mounds of vegetation and debris around their burrow entrances.

Effective Muskrat Control and Removal

Addressing muskrat infestations requires a strategic approach that combines humane removal techniques with preventative measures. At Ancon Wildlife Services, our team of experienced professionals is trained in the latest muskrat control and removal methods, ensuring a safe and effective resolution to your problem.

Our comprehensive muskrat control and removal process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify active burrows, potential entry points, and any areas of concern. Based on our findings, we develop a customized plan tailored to your specific needs.

Our Muskrat Control and Removal Process:

  1. Inspection and Assessment: Our technicians conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your property, identifying active burrows, potential entry points, and any areas of concern.
  2. Humane Trapping and Removal: We utilize live traps to safely capture muskrats without causing harm. These traps are strategically placed and monitored regularly to ensure the well-being of the animals.
  3. Relocation: Once captured, the muskrats are humanely relocated to a suitable natural habitat, in compliance with local regulations and best practices.
  4. Burrow Removal and Exclusion: After the muskrats have been removed, we safely remove and fill in any remaining burrows to prevent future infestations and eliminate potential potential hazards.
  5. Preventative Measures: To discourage muskrats from returning, we can implement various deterrents and exclusion techniques, such as fencing, habitat modification, and vegetation management strategies.

Testimonials

  • After calling and hiring a competitor company, which failed miserably at solving my squirrel problem, I found Ancon Wildlife Services. Dave came out and performed an inspection of my home and informed me that the solution to my problem would be accomplished through a process known as exclusion. The other company only offered trapping services and didn't seem as knowledgeable. Dave informed me that a good portion of Ancon's customers have had a similar experience with other animal control companies. from start to finish I felt good about doing business with Ancon. I highly reccomend their service and I wish I would have called them first.

  • Mike was awesome! my experience should have been filmed and put on T.V.! Seriously. We were hearing chirping noises in our fire place and called Ancon. Mike climbed up on the roof and some how motivated the raccoon to the top. He then wrestled the critter out of the chimney with a pole of some sort and put it in cage. WOW! He wasnt done yet...he went back in the living room and removed the baby raccoons from the fireplace put them in cage and informed me that he would relocate the family all together. Fearless and caring, these guys are incredible! He then installed an animal proof chimney cap to prevent any future animal problems. Top notch service and excitement to boot.
