If you have a problem with wildlife in your Owatonna 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 Owatonna, and I recommend the following:

Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal is a full-service Owatonna wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Owatonna pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal 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.

Owatonna 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 Owatonna raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal. 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 Owatonna 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 Owatonna 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 Owatonna 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 Owatonna pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Owatonna 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 Owatonna trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Owatonna 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. Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal. 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. Northfield Pro Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Owatonna. 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 Owatonna 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 Owatonna. And remember, we are a private business, not Steele County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (507) 444-2492. Steele County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Owatonna Wildlife Tip #1:
What can bats chew through?

You may have heard in many resources that bats can chew through something. The reality is that they could chew almost nothing at all. They do not actually chew through those walls, wires, wood and building materials just like what mice and rodents do. It is somehow discovered that bats could really squeeze inside through all those cracks and crevices. They will also enter and then exit the walls and the attics.

Buy Some Construction Materials

If ever you are afraid of bats gaining access into your house, you must not ever worry. There are many kinds of construction materials that you will need to buy in order to keep them out. These materials will usually include of screening, wire mesh, caulking and a whole lot more. These could really produce some good results especially when used.

Do not Close off the Openings

People will not need to close off all possible openings for the entire time of mating. This period will usually begin from the month of June to the month of August. This is due to the reason that the baby bats born might not actually fly. They could also easily get trapped inside. They might die and might eventually starve to death. That is why they may not get out. Their mothers may already be looking for them and be getting back inside. In order to avoid any of these, you need to be patient enough until that it is evident that all of the bats have left already. But, this should not be during the maternal season. This is because some of the baby bats take time before they finally fly.

People Making the Apprehension of Bats Chewing Through Woods, Walls and Screen

Bats will never ever chew through those walls, woods and screen and all other building materials. This is just usually the misapprehension of the bats. Screens or mesh are most often suggested in order to deter bats from buildings and homes.

Bats Could Eat Almost 600 Mosquitoes in Just One Hour

It is interesting to know that bats could eat almost six-hundred mosquitoes in just one hour. This is quite funny and amazing as well. They are indeed the best insect control tool. They can really be useful in most homes, buildings and apartments.

Holes to the Roofs or Walls

If ever you see holes to the roofs or walls, they are not mainly brought about by bats. There are actually 3 types of damages that they could do to a building or house. The other one will usually spread diseases and the next one will include of bat mites. The third one will involve a ruining insulation by way of accumulated urine. This could cause the interior of the structure of falling.

Owatonna 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.
