Damage ponds and banks.
Muskrats are found close to water and create elaborate dens. Some well-established dens can be located up to 20 feet from the shore. This can cause serious damage not only to your shoreline but also damage to equipment and personal injuries if the den collapses while mowing or walking the shoreline. At Empire Pest and Wildlife Control, we are committed to your safety and preservation of your property by removing muskrat from your property.

Muskrats may appear harmless, but their burrowing habits can cause severe erosion, waterway damage, and property instability. These semi-aquatic rodents dig extensive tunnels along pond banks, shorelines, and wetlands, leading to collapsed ground, broken drainage systems, and weakened structures.

Muskrats play a role in maintaining wetland ecosystems, but when they invade private ponds, lakeshores, and commercial properties, they can create costly damage and safety hazards.
If muskrats are burrowing near your pond, lake, or property, Empire Pest & Wildlife provides professional muskrat removal services to eliminate infestations and prevent long-term damage.
Muskrats are active year-round, particularly in spring and fall. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for professional muskrat control:
✅ Burrows & Tunnels Near Water: Large holes in pond banks, ditches, or marshy areas.
✅ Floating Vegetation & Chewed Plants: Damage to cattails, reeds, and aquatic plants.
✅ Erosion & Collapsing Shorelines: Soil weakening near water’s edge or drainage areas.
✅ Tracks & Droppings: Muskrat footprints near muddy banks and pathways.
✅ Nocturnal Activity: Muskrats are most active at night, often seen swimming at dusk or dawn.
Since muskrat burrows weaken ground stability, waiting too long to remove them can result in expensive property repairs.
Our science-based, humane approach ensures safe muskrat removal while preventing further property damage.
🔍 Our expert team assesses your property to:
✅ Locate muskrat dens and burrowing activity.
✅ Identify shoreline erosion and damage severity.
✅ Determine feeding and movement patterns for targeted trapping.
Once muskrat activity is confirmed, we use:
🛠️ Live trapping methods for safe removal.
🛠️ Targeted baiting systems to attract muskrats to designated areas.
🛠️ Eco-friendly solutions that comply with Michigan wildlife laws.
After removal, we take steps to prevent muskrats from returning by:
✔️ Filling & sealing burrows with natural materials to reinforce shorelines.
✔️ Installing muskrat deterrents to block future activity.
✔️ Recommending erosion control measures to stabilize land.
🔄 We provide follow-up inspections to monitor muskrat activity.
🔄 Custom maintenance plans available for ongoing protection.
At Empire Pest & Wildlife, we offer affordable, customized treatment plans based on infestation severity and property size.
💰 Initial Inspection & Service Fee: $150 - $250 (Includes full property assessment & trapping setup).
