The Dangers of Muskrats

Muskrats are known for their sharp teeth and strong jaws, which they use to gnaw on plants, roots, and even wooden structures. When they burrow into the ground, they can cause extensive damage to your lawn and garden, making it difficult to maintain a healthy and beautiful outdoor space. Moreover, their burrowing can also lead to structural damage to your home’s foundation, which can be extremely costly to repair.

In addition to the physical damage they can cause, muskrats can also pose a health risk to humans and pets. They are known carriers of several diseases, including leptospirosis, tularemia, and salmonellosis, which can be transmitted through their urine and feces. If you suspect you have a muskrat infestation on your property, it is essential to seek professional help to avoid any potential health hazards.

How to Identify a Muskrat Infestation

Muskrats are semi-aquatic animals that are typically found near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. They are about the size of a small cat, with brown fur and a distinctive flat, scaly tail. If you suspect you have a muskrat infestation on your property, there are several signs to look out for, including:

Burrows in the ground

Muskrats create extensive tunnel systems that can be identified by the presence of mounds of dirt around the entrance.

Gnaw marks on plants and structures

Muskrats have sharp teeth that they use to gnaw on plants, roots, and even wooden structures.

Droppings and urine

Muskrats leave behind droppings and urine that can be identified by their distinctive smell.
