It’s hard to imagine a snake slithering around your home…until it happens to you. So naturally, most of the snake phone calls we get are urgent because a snake has somehow managed to make their way in and is not exactly easily finding its way back out. Snakes in Minnesota are not uncommon, however, and thankfully, most snakes in the area are not venomous. In fact, the only venomous snake known to the Minnesota state is the infamous Timber Rattlesnake. So, we can rest in knowing that most of the snakes in our space are not poisonous and typically not aggressive unless put into a stressful, threatening position. If you have a snake in your home or if you are looking for preventative snake measures, Minnesota Wild Animal Management has you covered. Servicing the entire metro area

Now that spring is here, we can spend more time outdoors and enjoy the sunshine and warmer temperatures. If you have sat outside for even a few minutes, you will hear squirrels rustling around in the yard, birds chirping, you will see insects crawling around and you may even catch a glimpse of a raccoon or opossum if you are out in the evening. No matter how many wild animals you see or hear when you are outdoors, there are countless others that you cannot see. Snakes, bats, and mice do everything that they can so that you do NOT ever see them. But, our worlds are closely intertwined

Oftentimes, if an animal has invaded your home, you will likely find animal droppings in your kitchen, bathroom, garage, or attic. This unpleasant sight is very common and requires immediate cleanup to ensure the safety of you, your loved ones, and your four-legged family members. One of the most common places nuisance animals, such as squirrels and birds, tend to seek shelter in your home is in your attic. It is warm, enclosed, and away from human activity. If you hear small animals pitter-pattering or rustling around, you should contact an experienced wildlife control service to humanely remove the nuisance animals. Once the animals have been safely removed from your home, it is now time to clean up what was left behind. But what are the risks and how should you go about removing the droppings?

The sunshine has been warming our Minnesota landscape. This means more outdoor activity, absorption of vitamin D, and shaking off some of the cabin fever that can build up during our state’s colder months. The downside of the sun making longer appearances during the day is that it means animals also become more active, seeking sources of food and more comfortable shelter. Our homes and property are very appealing locations to search for both food and shelter. These animals do not realize that they are invading your property and causing damage (and stress!). They are on the hunt for food, shelter, and an escape from natural predators. If you live in Maplwood and discover uninvited

Bats are not only an important part of the ecosystem and environment, but they are also an incredibly unique wildlife species. They often become a problem for homeowners when they decide to roost or build a nursing colony in an attic or another section of a building or home.
