Squirrel Removed From My Attic
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.

Nothing gets your blood pressure flowing quite like coming into contact with a snake on your Minnesota property. While most snakes in Minnesota are not poisonous, with the exception of the Timber Rattlesnake, they still present a lot of fear for homeowners. When finding a snake on your property, one of the first thoughts that likely comes to mind is how to get the snake off your property. Sure, you could try and get rid of it yourself, but that runs the risk of you or the snake getting injured
We may not realize it, but most creatures and wild animals want to stay completely out of the way of humans. When they come in close proximity to us, they are extremely frightened and do what they can to get away. Animals try to hide from predators in the wild and they likely consider humans a threat as well. Unfortunately, because our environments are so intertwined and we have invaded much of their natural habitat…
