Muskrats are a unique species of rodents that spend the majority of their lives in water but form their homes in burrows along the shoreline. If your house in Richmond borders a pond, lake, river or marsh, your yard may find itself home to a muskrat den, and that can be a big problem. Sudden erosion or other damage along the shoreline of your property is a warning sign that muskrats may have built a burrow there.
While living at the edge of your yard, these semiaquatic rodents can prove a major nuisance, destroying the integrity of your shoreline with their burrows, aggressively feasting on your water plants, and invading your yard to forage for additional vegetation. A family of muskrats can turn a beautiful pond into an eroded mess within weeks of moving in.
Muskrat Removal & Exclusion
If muskrats have built a den at the edge of your pond or river, we need to get them out before they erode your shoreline beyond repair. We will come to your yard and place a live trap along the shore, where the muskrats are nesting. Once the muskrats have been captured, we will transport them to a far away body of water to make sure they don’t come swimming back to your home.
If you have a pond in your yard, we strongly encourage you to place fencing around it to make sure no more muskrats move in. If you live near a large lake or a river, your best bet is to remain vigilant to ensure a new muskrat family does not move into the pre-established burrow.
