Mice are unwelcome guests in just about any home. However, in the winter months in Minnesota, they look for warmth and food because that is so difficult to find outdoors. If they can find even the smallest crack or hole, mice will make their way inside your home. This is unnerving for a homeowner for many reasons. Mice carry disease and can cause serious damage in your home if not taken care of quickly. The team at Minnesota Wild Animal Management Inc. can help you prevent mice from entering and get rid of them if they do.
Birds are generally harmless and, in fact, many people love having them around. They bring beautiful sound to your property and can be enjoyable to watch.

When this happens, turn to the professionals at Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc. for assistance. We can remove birds (and their nests) safely and humanely before their droppings fall in areas and spread bacteria and disease.

Squirrels, especially gray squirrels, are common throughout Minnesota but specifically the twin cities and the metro area. Squirrels are members of the rodent family and are highly arboreal. They tend to be very highly active in the summer and in the fall where they scavenge for food for the winter.
Tree squirrels generally nest in trees in wooded areas. Since Minnesota has a ton of wooded areas that we keep building into, it is forcing squirrels to look for alternative places to live and therefore housing structures are a great choice. The most common invaded areas are garages and attics. Squirrels reach these areas by chewing holes in the exterior of the structure and typically nest, store food or both. Their activity is usually noisy and heard by anyone in close proximity.
The vast majority of the snakes in the state of Minnesota are harmless. Only two of the seventeen species of snakes are poisonous – the Timber Rattlesnake and the Eastern Massasauga snake. These two species have only very rare encounters with humans and live almost exclusively in the southeastern part of the state. However, it is very likely that if you find a snake it your home, you may not care whether it is harmless or poisonous – you will simply want it removed from your home immediately.
Wild animals may be fascinating to observe in their natural habitat, but when they invade your home or property, they can leave behind unwanted messes. One of the most common issues homeowners face is animal droppings. Whether from raccoons, squirrels, bats, or rodents, animal waste can pose serious health risks and cause significant property damage if not handled properly. Professional animal droppings removal services ensure that your home remains safe, clean, and free from harmful contaminants.
