Winter Tips To Keep Wildlife Out Of Your Home This Winter
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.
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.
No one wants a wild animal in their home, no matter how big or small. And wildlife damage can be a real issue for your home and family. The dangers wildlife bring along are specific to each animal, but issues are common with a critter infestation (fleas, ticks, disease, and contamination), as well as damage they have done to the structure itself. Minnesota Wild Animal Management protects your home from nuisance wildlife. Our team will not only remove the critters, but will also seal off entry points, clean, remediate, decontaminate, repair damages, and deodorize the space for you.
No one wants to deal with the annoyances of overturned or infested trash cans and roll-off dumpsters. Don’t let pests and other animals take advantage of your wide-open waste disposal area. Instead, institute minor changes to take control of your trash.
When a wild animal invades your home, they do not come through the front door or an open window. Most often, they find their way inside through an existing crack or hole, or they make their own way inside. Very often, wild animals leave damage at their point of entry but also where they nest or hide. Wild animals can chew through wiring, burrow under your foundation, nest in your walls or your vents, causing costly damage
