If you have a problem with wildlife in your Brooklyn Park home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Minnesota wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Minnesota and Brooklyn Park, and I recommend the following:

Oakridge Wildlife Control
Cell Phone: 763-400-3768

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Hennepin County Animal Services: 763-494-5999

Oakridge Wildlife Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Minnesota also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Oakridge Wildlife Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 763-400-3768 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Minnesota and Hennepin County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Oakridge Wildlife Control is a full-service Brooklyn Park wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Brooklyn Park pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Oakridge Wildlife Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Brooklyn Park wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Minnesota to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Minnesota law. We offer Brooklyn Park raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Oakridge Wildlife Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Brooklyn Park squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Brooklyn Park exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Brooklyn Park rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Minnesota is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Brooklyn Park pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Brooklyn Park bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Brooklyn Park trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Brooklyn Park wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Oakridge Wildlife Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Oakridge Wildlife Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Oakridge Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Brooklyn Park. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Brooklyn Park snake removal - most of the snakes in Minnesota are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Brooklyn Park. And remember, we are a private business, not Hennepin County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 763-494-5999. Hennepin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Brooklyn Park Wildlife Tip #1:
Should I ever poison a bat?

Bats are considered as pest animals that could really be a pain in the ass. They could as well bring a lot of damages as they reach into commercial or domestic buildings. That is why people will instinctively look for some ways to kill these bats.

They will need to understand that bats are indeed after bringing problems and issues. They are a reservoir of rabies all over the United States. They are by far the largest culprit. They will also find ways to transmit diseases by way of scratches, feces and bites. The good thing is that there are many ways to use to effectively kill bats. These ways may not seem to be an ideal thing to do. But, they will help you to effectively kill the animals.

Poison for Bats

Poison may be a good way to consider in mind to kill animals. But, this will never be an ideal solution to consider when killing bats. It will also be challenge for you on how to get them ingest the poison. The diet of bats is consisted of flying insects. You could actually mount the poison right through the back of the insects. The conventional poisons will be ineffective when it comes to dealing with bats.

Avoid Fumigating the Bats

One of the best approaches you need to avoid as well is the fumigation of the bats. This might cause death to them and cause other significant issues. You will still need to seal a specific area of the property. And, this could really be quite challenging. One more thing is that fumigants are not legal. They could really be toxic to people and to those bats. This approach will come with some other issues. Bats will find their way to escape into the specific area of the building. This will therefore bring significant damage if ever this has occurred.

Use Bat Exclusion Techniques Rather

You will need to get the bats out of their colony site. You will need to find some entry points to where they get in and out. And then, make use of exclusion netting or funnel to finally get them all out. It will also be necessary to find all of the possible exit and entry points. Funnels will also allow them to come out from the small entry hole. The large entry hole will also be dealt the best way possible with exclusion netting.

Clean and Repair a Bat Colony

You will need to wear some protective clothing including equipment. These could include a breathing mask and a long-sleeved mask. Remember that the bacteria in the bat droppings could be quite harmful. Prior to the cleaning process, it will require the removal and collection of the droppings. It is essential to remove the insulation that is contaminated by the feces or droppings.

Brooklyn Park Wildlife Tip #2:


Minnesota Wildlife Information:

Minnesota State bird: Common loon
State mammal: Black bear
State amphibian: Northern leopard frog
State fish: Walleye
State insect: Monarch butterfly

Minnesota is known as "the land of 10,000 lakes", which is a correct description of the glacial-carved landscape. In reality, the state has over 11,000 lakes. The large bodies of water are supported collectively by over 6,000 streams. The water doesn't stop there; there are over 10 million acres of wetlands in the region. Despite being one of the more populated states in the country, over 60 percent of Minnesota's population lives in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. This leaves much of the south as farmland and much of the north as unpopulated forest known as the North Woods.

Aquatic and semi-aquatic animals thrive in this land of 10,000 lakes. There are numerous beavers, muskrats, and otters. These are only a few of the animals that like to live in wetlands, and one of the most common nuisance animals in the state-the raccoon-is also a fan of such a location. Raccoons are not strict forest dwellers. They will live anywhere they can find a vertical surface to climb if danger approaches. The appeal of a swamp or lake for a raccoon is the abundance of reptile and bird nests that can be raided for tasty eggs.

While a good portion of the state is water-oriented, there are many areas where deciduous forests were cleared for farmland. These vast expanses of land combined with the natural prairie of the state support herds of bison, elk, and caribou. All of these large grazers have been severely affected by conversion of plains into farmland, and now numbers of each animal are minimal. More solitary grazers like the moose tend to fare better in the second-growth forests around the state. There is also an abundance of white-tailed deer which keep local packs of timber wolves fed.

Minnesota has the largest population of timber wolves in the country second only to Alaska. These wolves are usually reclusive, but harsh weather can drive them toward farms in search of grazing livestock. More problematic for people are the coyotes, which cannot compete with the wolves for food, and often rely on sneaky tactics to secure a meal from the local farmhouse.

Common animals in the state are skunks, gophers, squirrels, porcupines, foxes, salamanders, snakes, black bear, bobcats, cougars, and bald eagles.
