Bird Removal From Home Or Business
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
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.
It may come as a surprise to you to know that people still have encounters with snakes in the winter months… just not outside in your yards, where you might expect them, but rather, in the basement or other out-of-the-way space in your home or business. Just like humans, snakes don’t like to be outside in the winter months. They seek warmth to hibernate. In Minnesota, that usually means until late March or April. Most snakes will burrow down in the ground, under rocks, or in residential crawl spaces to hibernate, but some snakes have found their way inside during the late fall and are now hibernating indoors. So, what can you do? What should you do? At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we want to put your mind at ease and give you some pointers on how to handle this situation
Many animals are cute to look at when they’re in the wild or in a zoo, but not so much when they are on your property! Even though you may be tempted to allow the animals to take up residence on your property, thinking, “what could be the harm?”, be aware that some of the cutest creatures cause the greatest damage to homes and businesses each year. Think twice before feeding and fostering a home for these wild animals on your property!
No one wants to think about mice living inside your home or within the walls. It can give you the creeps just thinking about these little creatures scratching around, not to mention if you saw one scurry across the floor in front of you. Yikes!
Fall is a busy season for Minnesota’s avian wildlife. Of course, many think the springtime is busy with egg laying and the summer is busy for birds in flight. These are true but fall brings its own busyness. Birds spend much of their efforts in the fall months preparing for the cold, harsh winters. Part of this preparation includes seeking out warm shelter. Is this warmth found in your attic? If you find birds taking up residence in your home or business, call the humane wildlife removal experts at Minnesota Wild
