Why Use Green Pest Control?

There has been growing concerns with the practice of routinely using pesticides where we study, eat, work, and play as to whether this is the best approach to controlling pests.  In 1995, Congress defined integrated pest management as “a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, chemical, cultural, mechanical and physical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks.”

We, as a society, have become increasingly sensitive to our environment and less willing to accept health risks, even very small ones, from contaminants in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe or in the buildings we occupy.

These concerns are changing the way we live.  Pest control, too, is changing with the times. What was common and accepted practice a decade ago, is no longer seen as acceptable to many people.  A new approach to pest control has evolved.  It is called integrated pest management or IPM.  It reduces the risks from pesticides and improves the quality of pest control.  A concerned public is asking, and sometimes demanding that IPM be used instead of traditional pest control service, particularly in sensitive sites such as schools, hospitals, and restaurants.

Wild Animals In Your Walls or Attic

Have You Been Hearing Noises in Your Walls or Attic?

Part 2 of  Wild Animals In Your Walls or Attic

The most common type of complaint in the field of wild animal control is that of animals living in the attic.  People hear the scratching, chewing, scampering, and walking noises up in the attic, often at night, and thus call a professional.  If you do hear noises in the attic, it’s probably one of five species:

Squirrels: Squirrels are probably the most common animal in attics.  These arboreal rodents usually live in trees, but many find that the attics of homes are drier, warmer, and safer than any tree – in particular, female squirrels with young will give birth to and raise the litter in an attic.  If you hear the scratching and running noises in the daytime, particularly morning and early evening, it’s probably squirrels.

If you have a squirrel problem you are going to have to trap and remove them.  Hiring a professional trapper such as Minnesota Wild Animal Management,  can help ensure the trapping is done in a timely and humane manner.  On top of removing the squirrels, we also fix the damage they have done, and repair your house so they will not return!

At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we are experienced and trained with the removal of these rodents.

Minnesota Wild Animal Experts Can Get Rid Of Gophers

Can you get rid of gophers? Absolutely!

Although similar in behavior to moles, gophers present a more serious problem. Damage is most severe in the spring and fall when gophers are active near the ground surface.  Because they are vegetarian, they are capable of doing more destruction to roots, seeds, bulbs and other plant parts in landscape settings.  In addition, they eat approximately 60% of their body weight per day. Gophers also favor tree bark, particularly that of stone fruits and can girdle trees.  They can cause great damage to gardens and expensive landscaping.

Being professionally licensed, Minnesota Wild Animal Management is uniquely positioned to provide an effective treatment for these pests.  Damage caused by these pests includes:

• Economic losses in lawn and garden space, such as valued roses
• Destruction of young trees and crops
• Erosion that may undermine, offset or crack structures such as walkways and in-ground pools
• Our program involves a remediation program and warranty for the existing gopher infestation, followed by a maintenance program to address the potential for reinfestation from neighboring yards, or fields.

Gophers can cause hundreds, even thousands of dollars in property damage. Gophers burrowing under improvements can create serious problems.  All this damage can be extremely frustrating and expensive!  If the problem is handled immediately and efficiently though, you can save yourself time and money.  At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we are experienced and trained with the removal of these rodents.

Gophers: Pest Control in Your Yard, Part II

What do gophers actually eat?

Answer:  Bad news, gophers eat plants, roots and anything else you might be trying to grow in your yard.  A gopher will find something it likes, say, grass for instance and burrow under it, eat the roots and then come above ground and eat the actual blade.  A gopher will also seek out a garden.  It will find the garden from under the ground and not only eat the roots, but push the plants up from underground.  If the whole root is gone the plant cannot be saved, but if you are able to get rid of the gopher and then re-plant the plant right away, you may be able to save it.  This often happens with farmers in corn fields especially, although they do not usually replant the corn.

That’s where we come in.  At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc., we specialize in the humane removal of all types of rodents, gophers included.  We can help you by quickly and efficiently ridding your beloved yard of these pests for good, and you can get back to saving your yard.

Gophers: Pest Control in Your Yard, Part I

We have all seen the parts in the movie Caddyshack where the gopher is laughing at Bill Murray while Bill is trying to rid the golf course of this pest.  That is how many property owners feel about the gophers as well.  Industrious and difficult to trap, the gopher can cause havoc and serious damage to your yard overnight.  We were speaking to a homeowner who woke up to 13 new gopher mounds one morning.  These mounds are actually the entrances to the tunnels the gophers have been hard at work making.  Left unchecked, a gopher “town” can spread over a larger yard so much that the population can reach in the thousands.

If you are tired of the gophers winning, give us a call.  Your friendly expert professionals at Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc. will rid your yard of these nasty pests in an eco-friendly and efficient manner.
