Entry Points: How Mice Sneak Into Minnesota Homes
When the temperature drops in Minnesota, homeowners aren’t the only ones looking for warmth. Mice begin searching for food and shelter, and unfortunately, your home may provide the perfect environment. These tiny intruders are more resourceful than most people realize, capable of squeezing through the smallest of gaps and quickly turning into a costly problem. Understanding how they sneak in—and how to prevent it—can protect your home and family from the damage and frustration that comes with an infestation.
If you’ve heard scratching in the walls or found tiny droppings in your kitchen, you’re not alone. Mice infestations are a common problem across Minnesota; they seek out warm, food-filled homes and can quickly turn a minor issue into a major problem. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we specialize in safe, effective mice extermination services for homeowners and property managers throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding communities.
