Springtime is a season of renewal and beauty – snow melts, trees and flowers blossom, and new baby animals emerge. Unfortunately, it can also be an especially vulnerable time for homeowners when it comes to wildlife problems around their home. Read these tips on what you can do about wildlife problems in spring and how to keep wild animals away from your property.
Minnesota boasts a majority of harmless snakes. Only two out of seventeen species are poisonous – the Timber Rattlesnake and Eastern Massasauga snake, which have only very rarely encountered humans and live almost exclusively in the southeast part of the state. Unfortunately, if you find a snake in your home, you may not even consider whether it’s harmless or poisonous – you just want it removed immediately!
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.
Squirrels: Squirrels are active all year. They store food such as grains, nuts, seeds and berries in order to stay stationary until they run out of food – at which point they move elsewhere.
Be wary if you think raccoons look cute and cuddly. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you find raccoons in your home, immediately call raccoon control service to immediately prevent further harm. Allowing them to live inside can cause extensive damage so it’s better to prevent their presence from taking over your living space – keeping your house cozy and warm during Minnesota’s wintertime with these tips for deterring raccoons and saving yourself from having to hire a removal company.
Have you ever driven at night in Minnesota and seen these creatures cross the roads? Well, it’s not just because they’re more common at night – opossums have a special ability to survive in darkness, enjoy a flexible diet, and reproduce like no other creature could. Opossums have incredible resilience; if lucky enough, they could be evicted from your home through any means necessary – luck doesn’t count! Minnesota Wild Animal Management
