Minnesota's harsh winters drive wildlife indoors seeking warmth and shelter. Animals like squirrels, mice, and bats become common invaders during the colder months. Spring and summer bring different challenges with nesting birds and emerging mammals. Many homes in the Minneapolis area have attics or crawl spaces that are attractive to wildlife. Older homes often have more gaps and openings. Our services are tailored to these seasonal shifts and housing types. We understand the unique wildlife problems faced by residents. We focus on humane removal and prevention. Choosing a provider in Minnesota means looking for experience with local species. Ask about their methods for dealing with animals in cold weather. The cost of service depends on the animal and the effort required for removal. Get a free phone quote to know what to expect.
Common questions
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats, your best option is to contact local animal shelters or rescue groups. They are equipped to care for and rehome lost or abandoned cats. AnimalControl Direct specializes in wildlife removal from homes and properties. We do not handle stray domestic animals like cats. Please reach out to your local humane society for assistance.
What animals does animal control deal with?
We handle a variety of nuisance wildlife that enter homes and businesses. This includes squirrels, mice, bats, raccoons, and opossums. We also address issues with birds and other small mammals. Our aim is to safely and humanely remove these animals. We serve the Minneapolis area and focus on protecting your property.
How much does it cost to remove a dead animal?
The cost to remove a dead animal depends on its location and size. If it's in an easily accessible spot, it's generally less work. If it's inside a wall or hard-to-reach area, removal becomes more complex and will cost more. We offer a free phone quote so you understand the price before we start. This applies to homes in Minnesota.

Getting rid of critters requires professional assessment and removal. We find out how they are getting into your home and seal those entry points. Then, we safely remove the animals. Our Minnesota-based technicians use effective methods. We service the Minneapolis area and work to prevent future invasions.
Does animal control charge you to remove an animal?

What are wildlife bridges in Minnesota?
Wildlife bridges, also known as green bridges or eco-ducts, are structures designed to allow animals to cross roads safely. They help wildlife move between habitats without encountering traffic. While we don't build these, we address the animals that might use them or be impacted by habitat fragmentation in the Minneapolis area. Our service is focused on removal from your property.
