Squirrels don’t hibernate in the winter, but they still need a warm, safe place to sleep. And when it’s severely cold out, they’ll stay in their cozy den for days at a time, only venturing out midday when temperatures are warmest. If you’ve heard any scurrying or squeaking coming from your attic or walls, that cozy den just might be your home. If you’re in the Minneapolis area and you think you might
Wild animals do not ask our permission to move into our homes and take up residence. They do this out of the same instinct that we humans have to find permanent shelter from the elements. Humans are the lucky ones in that we have home construction contractors to build us those shelters. Wild animals have to make do with what they have, which amounts to their survival instincts and capacity…
When the temperature drops in Minnesota, homeowners aren’t the only ones looking for warmth. Mice begin searching for food and shelter, and unfortunately, your home may provide the perfect environment. These tiny intruders are more resourceful than most people realize, capable of squeezing through the smallest of gaps and quickly turning into a costly problem. Understanding how they sneak in—and how to prevent it—can protect your home and family from the damage and frustration that comes with an infestation.
The temperatures are beginning to cool down and when you live in Minnesota, that means that it is time to spend more time indoors. With average winter temperatures well below freezing for the winter months, your home becomes your safe haven for the winter season. Now is the perfect time to make sure that your home does not attract unwanted guests like wildlife that are also looking for warmth and shelter
As the summer months come to a close, and the fall season knocks on our backdoors, we see the days begin to get shorter and the nighttime temperatures begin to drop. Everyone seems to be eager for the cooler temperatures of fall to arrive, but as the temperatures drop, wildlife creatures’ activities will be on the rise. Creatures will begin to seek out warmer spots to rest and as the food sources on trees become scarcer, animals get a little bolder in seeking out food (i.e., inside the perimeter of your home or business). Some of the animals that will do this, starting in the fall, are squirrels, mice, possums, and rats, to name a few.
Fall is a busy season for Minnesota’s avian wildlife. Of course, many think the springtime is busy with egg laying and the summer is busy for birds in flight. These are true but fall brings its own busyness. Birds spend much of their efforts in the fall months preparing for the cold, harsh winters. Part of this preparation includes seeking out warm shelter. Is this warmth found in your attic? If you find birds taking up residence in your home or business, call the humane wildlife removal experts at Minnesota Wild
Wild animals may be fascinating to watch outdoors, but when they find their way into your home, they can quickly go from a curiosity to a costly problem. In Minnesota, homeowners often deal with squirrels, raccoons, bats, mice, and even the occasional skunk looking for warmth and shelter. While removal is the first step, prevention and repair are just as important to protect your home for the long term this fall and winter.
Finding unexpected wildlife in your home can be unsettling especially when those visitors are bats. If you’re a Minnesota homeowner or business owner noticing bat droppings or hearing rustles in the attic, then you’ve landed in the right place. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management we bring decades of experience to safely remove bats, clean up after them, and protect your home. Here’s what you should know.
Bats are fascinating creatures the only mammals capable of true flight but they’re not meant to live in your walls or attic. In Minnesota, only a couple species, such as the Little Brown Myotis and Large Brown Bat, tend to roost in homes.
Raccoons are undeniably cute. When we see videos of them on social media, they are almost always doing something funny and entertaining. Yes, raccoons can be delightful and cute. But the vast majority of raccoons who attach themselves in some way to your property are not there to provide you with entertainment and they are certainly not there to be your pet. Minnesota Wild Animal Management can humanely remove raccoons from your property.
Bats are extremely interesting and intriguing creatures, however, they are not generally recognized as welcomed house guests. They can enter your home or property through small holes in your siding or where your roof meets your home, your chimney or through vents. Generally, bats are seeking a dark place to nest and sleep, but carry disease and can cause damage to your home. If you live in the Minneapolis, MN area and suspect that you may have bats entering your home or property, contact the bat removal experts at Minnesota Wild Animal Management LLC. Our team can safely and thoroughly handle bat removal so that you can rest easy knowing that your home is bat free.
