Minnesota Winter Wildlife Problems You Can’t Ignore
It’s a cold Minnesota morning, and as the wind howls outside, a faint scratching noise breaks the stillness in your home. You pause, listening closer and find it’s coming from above. What started as a few harmless sounds quickly turns into a nightly disturbance.

For homeowners and property management professionals, proper removal and sanitization is essential—not just for cleanliness, but also for safety and long-term property protection.
No one wants a wild animal in their home, no matter how big or small. And wildlife damage can be a real issue for your home and family.

Finding unexpected wildlife in your home can be unsettling especially when those visitors are bats. If you’re a Minnesota homeowner or business owner noticing bat droppings or hearing rustles in the attic, then you’ve landed in the right place. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management we bring decades of experience to safely remove bats, clean up after them, and protect your home. Here’s what you should know.
Raccoons are undeniably cute. When we see videos of them on social media, they are almost always doing something funny and entertaining. Yes, raccoons can be delightful and cute. But the vast majority of raccoons who attach themselves in some way to your property are not there to provide you with entertainment and they are certainly not there to be your pet. Minnesota Wild Animal Management can humanely remove raccoons from your property.
