Mink Infestations: Understanding the Risks and Solutions

Mink infestations can cause significant problems for property owners in South Wales, particularly those living near waterways or with access to rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. These carnivorous mammals can cause damage to property, contaminate water sources, and even pose a threat to human health.

Signs of a Mink Infestation

• Unusual holes or burrows: Mink are skilled diggers and can create complex networks of tunnels and dens, often near water sources.

• Tracks and scat: Mink tracks are often mistaken for otter or rat tracks, but their scat is distinctive, with a strong, musky odor.

• Property damage: Mink are notorious for damaging property, including buildings, boats, and equipment, as they search for food or shelter.

• Unexplained fish kills: Mink are skilled predators and can decimate fish populations, leading to unexplained fish kills or declines in aquatic life.

The Risks of Mink Infestations

• Property damage: Mink can cause significant damage to property, including buildings, boats, and equipment, leading to costly repairs.

• Water contamination: Mink can contaminate water sources, posing a risk to human health and the environment.

• Economic impact: Mink infestations can have a significant economic impact on industries such as fishing, aquaculture, and tourism in South Wales.
