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.
Wild animals of any size or species should never be welcome in one’s home, regardless of its size. While each species poses its own risks, wildlife damage such as fleas and ticks, disease transmission and contamination are all potential dangers that homeowners must contend with. Minnesota Wild Animal Management can safeguard your home against wildlife intrusion. Not only do we eliminate the pests, but our team will also secure
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. They are looking for food, shelter, warmth, or a way to escape natural predators. If you find your uninvited visitor(s) in your garage or attic, or in your bedroom, bathroom, or closet, it’s time to call Minnesota Wild Animal Management.
Living in the Twin Cities area is great as we have wonderful weather in the summer, pleasant fall weather and snow in the winter for those who enjoy winter hobbies. The downside to living in this area is that the temperatures can get quite frigid in the winter both for humans and our wild animal friends! At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we’re quite busy with wildlife removal in the winter because it’s often when animals try their hardest to move indoors into our homes.
An unexpected encounter with a wild animal on your property can have you up at night or, at the very least, weary of every step you take. This time of year, many homeowners report seeing snakes on their properties, or raccoons, or bats, and even mice. The experts at Minnesota Wild Animal Management are available to remove these wild animals safely and humanely off your property. To ensure the animals don’t return, the experts on hand will help identify some of the ways that these critters are entering your property or what attracts them and helps you to prevent possible future encounters.
As the summer months come to a close, and the fall season knocks on our backdoors, we see the days begin to get shorter and the nighttime temperatures begin to drop. Everyone seems to be eager for the cooler temperatures of fall to arrive, but as the temperatures drop, wildlife creatures’ activities will be on the rise. Creatures will begin to seek out warmer spots to rest and as the food sources on trees become scarcer, animals get a little bolder in seeking out food (i.e., inside the perimeter of your home or business). Some of the animals that will do this, starting in the fall, are squirrels, mice, possums, and rats, to name a few.
