Wildlife Control: Hennepin County

Hennepin County is where Minnesota’s most populous city, Minneapolis, can be found.

Minneapolis has humid summers and crisp autumns, making it the ideal home for insects, rodents, and other pests. There are dozens of pests you need to be aware of in the area. Sometimes pests aren’t the only critters to enter your home, various forms of wildlife can prove problematic such as raccoons, squirrels, and possums.

Contacting animal control specialists can help you control wildlife that may be tearing up your yard or trying to get inside your home.

• Raccoons. Raccoons may be cute, but they can be mean and aggressive, causing problems inside and outside your home. For outdoor problems, cage trapping is a good option. If you have raccoons inside your home, such as in your attic or under a deck, you need to find the entry-ways and seal them shut. Fencing and other prevention can keep raccoons at bay. 
• Squirrels. Squirrels can be a nuisance. Once they get into your attic, it’s time to get professional wildlife control, as there may be babies. Like with raccoons, you need to use cage trapping and seal entryways shut. 
• Possums. Possums are opportunistic creatures that may be found living in your attic or under your house. They may also eat pet food or garbage outdoors or in your garage. Fortunately, they are easy to catch in a trap, so consider placing traps outside your home to get rid of these nuisance pests.
