Marmot Footprints & Tracks in the Yard

Detecting a Marmot Infestation

Marmots are burly, medium-sized rodents that dig burrows in yards. As adult marmots spend a great deal of time basking in the sun during the day, residents often happen upon these pests. An infestation problem can also be identified by the presence of marmot tracks.

What Do Marmot Tracks Look Like?

Appearance

With four toes on their front feet and five on their back feet, marmot footprints are easy to recognize. They measure about one and a half inches long and may or may not feature claw marks. Additionally, the pads of their front feet leave a distinct impression with three different circles.

Location

These pests hibernate in the winter, so people are unlikely to find marmot tracks in the snow. The ground around tunnel holes, soft garden soil, or muddy areas are the best places to spot marmot prints.

Responding to Marmot Tracks in the Yard

These rodents can be destructive. Their burrows ruin landscaping and create tripping hazards. The pests also eat garden vegetables and can bring disease-causing parasites into yards.

If you find marmot tracks on your property, contact Critter Control. Our technicians can safely and humanely remove marmots in the yard.

We wanted to be sure no mice, bats or other pests could get in. He did all our critter control at our prior house in 2022 so we had him pest proof our next house in 2026. He is the kindest man, knowledgeable and efficient. 100% recommend. You’re buying pest control and peace of mind.

Alex did a complete and thorough inspection of the residential premises, and I am happy to report that he found no such evidence. Alex’s service was very thorough and professional, as well as honest. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We interviewed 3 companies to evict the squirrels from our attic.  Critter Control was, by far, the least expensive.   Their promptness and attention to detail was A+.  Brandon from Critter Control provided daily reports about the process.  Brandon was the star of the show but we enjoyed working with everyone from Critter Control.

Thanks

We had a critter stuck in our fireplace, and he took his time figuring out the best way to handle the situation. He was creative with his solutions, explained what he was going to do, and made sure we understood the process. He was also just a genuinely great person to work with!

As a new homeowner, it was nice to have someone who was patient, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to get the job done right. He never made us feel rushed, and you could tell he really cared about helping us.

Critter Control, you have a great employee in Josh! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because he did an amazing job. I would absolutely recommend Critter Control, and if we ever have another issue, I will definitely be asking for Josh again!
