Expert management of weasel and mink conflicts in Louisville
Louisville Animal Control provides professional weasel and mink management services throughout Jefferson County, addressing conflicts these small predators create for property owners. Our experienced specialists help protect poultry, pets, and property while using humane control methods.
Weasels and minks are skilled predators that can enter small openings to access chicken coops and other poultry enclosures. They may kill multiple birds in a single visit.
Small pets and rabbits may be at risk from weasel predation. These agile predators can access hutches and enclosures through surprisingly small openings.
Weasels can enter buildings through very small gaps, potentially establishing dens in walls, attics, or outbuildings. Their presence may attract other predators.
Complete evaluation of weasel activity, entry points, and property vulnerabilities.
Development of a comprehensive weasel management strategy tailored to your situation.
Professional execution of control methods and exclusion measures.
Installation of barriers and implementation of long-term prevention strategies.
Common signs include missing poultry with small puncture wounds, tracks in snow or mud, musky odor near dens, and sightings of long, slender animals with short legs. Weasels are most active at dawn and dusk.
Weasels typically avoid humans and are not considered dangerous to people. However, they are fierce predators when cornered and should not be approached or handled without proper training and equipment.
Effective protection requires using 1/4 inch hardware cloth (not chicken wire), securing all openings, burying fencing at least 12 inches deep, and ensuring all doors and windows have secure latches. Our specialists can assess your coop and recommend specific improvements.
