The holidays are here and many of us are hosting gatherings with friends, neighbors and family. You may be preparing to spend many hours cooking and cleaning and preparing your home for gathering. The last thing that you want to have to worry about before or during your next holiday gathering is an unwanted animal crashing the party. Raccoons, bats, snakes, squirrels, mice or birds mean absolutely no harm to us but do not belong in your home
Many Americans love to see animals in the wild. In fact, in 2021, Americans spent an estimated $128 billion on wildlife tourism. It can be amazing to see animals in their own habitat, and some of these furry creatures can be so cute to look at their little faces. Just like humans, much of this wildlife will be in search of warmth through the winter months. Your home or business may just provide the perfect place
It’s a well-known fact that Minnesota has extremely cold winters, but temperate summers. For this reason, wildlife thrives in our state. Many of these wild animals find shelter and warmth during the bitter cold of the winter months. Unfortunately, this shelter is found in people’s homes and businesses. One of the most common critters to seek shelter inside is mice and other rodents. They’re diverse; the rodent family includes rats, mice, gophers, voles
Do you know what the most common critters are to invade our homes, especially during the winter months? More than 80% of animals that invade homes during this time of year are mice, rats and squirrels. Of course, they are not the only potential invaders as we have also seen bats, raccoons and even snakes and birds in our area. Each of these animals has one thing in common – they are looking for a warm place to live and looking for food to eat. Rather than try to remove these animals
Living in the Twin Cities area is great as we have wonderful weather in the summer, pleasant fall weather and snow in the winter for those who enjoy winter hobbies. The downside to living in this area is that the temperatures can get quite frigid in the winter both for humans and our wild animal friends! At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we’re quite busy with wildlife removal in the winter because it’s often when animals try their hardest to move indoors into our homes.
Below are a few quick and easy tips to keep your home protected from wild animals this winter.
An unexpected encounter with a wild animal on your property can have you up at night or, at the very least, weary of every step you take. This time of year, many homeowners report seeing snakes on their properties, or raccoons, or bats, and even mice. The experts at Minnesota Wild Animal Management are available to remove these wild animals safely and humanely off your property. To ensure the animals don’t return, the experts on hand will help identify some of the ways that these critters are entering your property or what attracts them and helps you to prevent possible future encounters.
