Minnesota's cold, snowy winters are a major driver of wildlife issues. As temperatures drop, animals like squirrels and mice seek warmer shelter indoors. This often means they find their way into homes and attics. Spring and summer bring new litters, increasing the chances of animals getting trapped or causing damage. Many homes in Minneapolis and surrounding areas have older structures with potential entry points. We know how to deal with these seasonal challenges.
