Animals typically do not migrate south for winter, unlike birds. Even though they can be nuisances during warmer months, wild animals also have the potential to cause serious damage to buildings and property during colder temperatures. To determine if animals have entered your home in search of warmth, it’s essential that you know what signs to look out for so you can prevent an invasion from taking place.
The best places to find shelter and food are our homes and properties. Wild animals don’t realize they are invading your property, causing stress and damage. They are looking for food, shelter, warmth, or a way to escape natural predators. If you find your uninvited visitor(s) in your garage or attic, or in your bedroom, bathroom, or closet, it’s time to call Minnesota Wild Animal Management.
