Keep Mice and Other Animals Out This Winter
It is getting colder outside and people are not the only mammals that want to stay warm and cozy inside this winter. The months of September, October, November and December are especially brutal for anyone who wants to keep mice and other rodents outside where they belong. A mouse can enter through a tiny space and set up home inside of your home, living in walls, attics and anywhere they can find refuge from the cold winter weather. The results can be very disturbing
The temperatures are beginning to cool down and when you live in Minnesota, that means that it is time to spend more time indoors. With average winter temperatures well below freezing for the winter months, your home becomes your safe haven for the winter season. Now is the perfect time to make sure that your home does not attract unwanted guests like wildlife that are also looking for warmth and shelter
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.
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
Wild animals may be fascinating to watch outdoors, but when they find their way into your home, they can quickly go from a curiosity to a costly problem. In Minnesota, homeowners often deal with squirrels, raccoons, bats, mice, and even the occasional skunk looking for warmth and shelter. While removal is the first step, prevention and repair are just as important to protect your home for the long term this fall and winter.
