Edina Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Edina, MN

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

Professional Wildlife Removal St. Paul
Cell Phone: 952-232-4393

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Hennepin County Animal Services: (952) 322-7643

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

  • Professional Wildlife Removal St. Paul is a full-service Edina wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Edina pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife Removal St. Paul 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.

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

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Removal St. Paul. 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. Professional Wildlife Removal St. Paul also provides dead animal removal in Edina. 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 Edina 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 Edina. 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 (952) 322-7643. Hennepin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Edina Wildlife Tip #1:
    How To Find And Remove A Dead Rat

    Finding out dead rats are much tougher than removing rats from your house. It involves no tricks but you need to keep on searching and sniffing all around the house. Finding out dead rats requires some good sense of smell but sometimes it takes more than an hour to locate the dead animal even though it carries an unbearable strong smell. The reason is they may end up in walls, can be buried under attic insulation or in ceilings. Actually the job is quite challenging, however with experience and time, you will be able to handle the job quickly.

    The secret to find out dead rats lies in the nose, so just sniff here and there and follow the direction where smell is much stronger.

    In case you figure out, the smell is basically coming from attic, inspect the attic first. However, smell might not act as the good indicator in case the dead rats are in attic as this is the area where air flows and cross ventilation is quite good. Locating the exact place will be difficult for you but look for the nest first as they will generally die near the nest in case it is a natural death. If the rat is not in the nest, look for other dark area, every corner in the attic and as you locate the dead rats, remove it. Next clean the area thoroughly because it can be the source of various harmful diseases.

    Sometimes dead rat can be stuck in the wall as well and this is most probably the worst situation where you might need to cut down the wall to get them out. However, the dead rats are always not available in places where the smell is strong. The air current and moisture of the home has to do a lot with this smell. So check other markings as well of rat such as drooping, urine puddles or grease mark first and then make a hole there to bring out the dead rats. After removing the rat, clean those areas, spray there and then fix the hole.

    Another way where the dead rats can be found is the ceiling. Take your nose against the wall and if the smell is too strong, cut a hole there with drywall saw, take out the rotted animal, clean the place and make a spray after which the hole should be fixed with drywall patch.

    Once the dead rats are removed, open all the windows and doors for cross ventilation. Numbers of cleaning disinfectants are available in the market and Bac-Azap is one such useful product to use that break down the organic thing and drive away the smell quickly.

    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.
