The problem
Weasel, Fisher & Marten Control, done right
Weasels, fisher, marten and otter are all members of the same family, and in Maine they mostly become a problem around chicken coops, barns and waterfront properties.
A weasel can get through a gap about an inch wide and can wipe out a coop in a single night. We deal with the animal and then rebuild the coop or outbuilding so it can't get back in.
Signs to look for
When to call us
- Poultry killed overnight, often several at once
- Small holes or gaps chewed or found around a coop or barn
- A strong musky smell around an outbuilding
- Fish ponds raided or otter scat along a dock
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Inspect
We check the coop or building for every gap an inch or larger.
Remove
We remove the animal humanely, within Maine wildlife rules.
Predator-proof
We seal with half-inch hardware cloth and add buried barriers and secure doors and latches.
This covers
- Weasels
- Fisher
- Marten
- River otter
Questions
What people ask us

(207) 531-5524What's killing my chickens at night?
Several dead birds at once, with little eaten, often points to a weasel. A fisher or fox usually takes one bird away. We'll look at the scene and tell you what you're dealing with.
Is chicken wire enough?
No. Chicken wire keeps chickens in but doesn't keep predators out. Use half-inch hardware cloth and bury it.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
