Managing Bird Populations Around Your House
Birds can be a nuisance when they are looking for a place to nest or shelter. These birds can nest in your garage, attic, deck, or vents. These birds can do a lot of damage to your business or home. Pest bird populations that are not controlled can cause a lot of damage. Minnesota Wild Animal Management can help you control the bird population in your home or office.

Springtime growth can be an exciting time for homeowners. After spending hours and hours perfecting lawns and landscaping, homeowners often come home to find holes dug overnight by unknown sources – possibly even skunks! It must be terrifying waking up one morning only to discover they have dug themselves a gravedigger-style grave in their yard overnight!
Have you ever driven at night in Minnesota and seen these creatures cross the roads? Well, it’s not just because they’re more common at night – opossums have a special ability to survive in darkness, enjoy a flexible diet, and reproduce like no other creature could. Opossums have incredible resilience; if lucky enough, they could be evicted from your home through any means necessary – luck doesn’t count! Minnesota Wild Animal Management
There is probably not a day that goes by in White Bear Lake when you do not see a squirrel. There are many squirrels in Minnesota. Three different species live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area – gray squirrels, red squirrels, and flying squirrels.

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.
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
