Muskrats cause more damage than any other animal or rodent that we deal with. They can single-handedly destroy an entire pond’s shoreline with their burrowing causing thousands of dollars in property damage. Muskrats should be removed from your property immediately upon seeing them.

Muskrats feed primarily on the aquatic plants surrounding their dens, such as cattails, water lilies, and duckweeds. They will also eat snails, frogs, and fish.
Muskrats are common in Wisconsin, especially where there is water. They usually inhabit wetlands with an abundant supply of aquatic vegetation because muskrats do not prefer to travel far from their den (usually only within 200 yards). Muskrats build dens full of several chambers in banks or lodges in the water. They are excellent burrowers, which makes them problematic animals.
Muskrats have an extremely high reproductive rate. Breeding time occurs from April to September. A muskrat can produce up to 5 litters a year, with 1-11 young in each litter. Baby muskrats are born only 30 days after the gestation period and are on their own in 3-4 weeks.
