Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management how do muskrat tick?

What you could do is smoke them out or at lease see if there is more than one hole.

Tools. Hair dryer, potassium nitrate (saltpeter drug store), sugar, propane torch, toilet paper roll, duct tape, and some hydro.

Tape one end of a toilet paper center tube with duct tape.

Mix the potassium nitrate 50-50 with sugar mix well, place in a spent tube from a toilet paper roll.

Place just inside the hole and light the mixture with the torch. Push in deeper into hole after lit.

Pump air down the hole with hair dryer to force the smoke down into the hole.

A full tube will burn for about 1 minute with alot of flame so make sure she is in the hole as far as you can but still light it.

Cheers Don.
