Wildlife During The Minnesota Winters
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.

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.

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.

A home inspection is a crucial step in the home-buying process. It will let you know if there are any areas that need attention before closing the deal. The inspections typically include checking the heating and plumbing, as well as checking for mold or roof leaks. Typically, however, these inspections do not include checking for wildlife damage or whether any wildlife are living in the attic. Most home inspectors fail to spot signs of wildlife damage or entry points, which can pose a problem for homebuyers.
One would think that there would be no birds left in Minnesota during the winter months, as it is assumed that all birds fly south for the winter. This puts all birds in California, Texas, and sunny Miami, right?!? No. There are several species of birds that fly into Minnesota (from further north) as the food sources are much more prevalent in the winter months. Some birds don’t migrate and simply remain put. In fact, there are about 15 common species of birds that are found around central Minnesota during the winter
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
When the temperatures are this low and the weather is this harsh, it is easy to understand why a bird or a squirrel might look for shelter from the cold. After all, a nest cannot possibly be as warm as a cozy garage, an interior wall or attic. In addition to a warm place to sleep, our homes also offer food and water as well, which can be in short supply these days for wild animals in Minnesota. The ground is frozen, and snow covered and that makes it difficult to find anything to eat. So, if you have seen signs of birds, squirrels or other wild animals inside your home, call the team at Minnesota Wild Animal Management ASAP. We will find the invaders, remove them safely, humanly and make sure that they cannot return.
