Plymouth Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Plymouth, MN

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Plymouth 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 Plymouth, 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 Plymouth wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Plymouth 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.

    Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Plymouth 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 Plymouth trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Plymouth 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 Plymouth. 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth. 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.

    Plymouth Wildlife Tip #1:
    Is bat feces dangerous to touch or breathe?

    You will really need to stay away from the bat. This is not only because it is ugly or because of the myths created for some horror movies. Keep in mind that a bat is a dangerous animal to you. You will really need to be extra careful in order to protect yourself.

    Bat Brings Danger

    A bat is dangerous in a sense that it carries a lot of diseases and parasites with it. If it has bitten you, you may have no idea but it already has rabies. Just the same with other animals, a bat will make an effort to protect itself and its home. That is why biting its potential predator will be a one way of making it sure that it eliminates all other animals that bring serious risks.

    Bat Bites All Other Animals

    In addition to that, it will bite all other animals that could be a source of food for it. Its bite may not be considered as something fatal to other animals. This is especially true to most large-sized ones. It will also inject its blood into the animal as it bites. This could mean of diseases such as rabies that might reach your blood. The disease is believed to be dangerous and even fatal to those that are not treated immediately.

    Bat Feces Poses a Major Hazard

    Bat feces will also be another issue why you would want it to be far away from you. Bat feces will really bring serious and huge risks for you. If ever they release their feces, they also release their waste, bacteria, viruses and parasites. If you will step in and handle these feces, the pathogens might get into your body. This is also actually how the parasites will get into people and all other animals.

    In addition to that, it steps or touches on the feces. The parasites will be attached to the skin and will find their way in. They will also begin their reproductive process. This could somehow really be dangerous or harmful to the host. This might also cause respiratory issues, heart issues, digestive issues and death.

    Things Get Worse

    As the bat feces dry up, these could become airborne. If ever this happens, the parasites will go with the dried particles. These will now become airborne. This means to say that if you will breathe in particles, you also inhale the parasites. This could somehow be a quite dangerous particle.

    Essential Tips to Keep in Mind

    You will need to follow some precautionary measures when handling bat feces. Wear some clothes to protect your respiratory system. The good thing is that there are wildlife removal experts that will serve you ninety-five percent possible. Call them now!

    Plymouth 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.

    You can always call Oakridge Wildlife Control, any time of day, at 763-400-3768, for a price quote for Plymouth wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Plymouth, MN.
