Many of Minnesota's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Minnesota's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Hennepin county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Maple Grove animal control for wildlife issues.

Maple Grove Wildlife Removal Tip: What to do about bats in the chimney?

You may have no idea about bats that will find their habitat. But, really, they choose to inhabit in the roofs of your house. This is especially true to your chimneys. This could also become a serious issue. There are possibly consequences that you will need to deal with. This will require you to handle the issue the safest and best way possible. This will need to be done for both the animals and the people. Even if there are many solutions that may come to mind when facing such an issue, it is still essential to remove the bats in a humane and good way possible.

Bats Choose the Chimney

Bats will in particular choose the chimney being their habitat. This is due to the reason that it offers them the protection that they need from the cold climate and elements outside. They might also be in the middle of their mating season. And thus, they will need a safe and secure habitat.

The mistake that people usually commit is in removing the bats from their chimney by lighting a fire. This could be a logical step because the heat and smoke will drive these bats away on top of your chimney. But, this might backfire disastrously. This may cause flaming bats of wreaking havoc through your fireplace. This is somehow a dangerous thing to consider in mind. Thus, this must be avoided at all cost.

Exclude the Bats with the Proper Timing and Traps

If you will be interested in removing bats, it is essential excluding them by means of using traps and incorporating the right timing. It will be necessary to identify the exit and entry points of these bats. These will of course include some horizontal crevices in the chimney's sides. They basically not choose to enter from the top. Once these have already been identified, the entry/exit points will now need to be properly sealed off. This must of course be done during the night.

Install an Exclusion Device

You will now include installing an exclusion device like a pipe, funnel or even netting. This will allow the bats that stayed in the chimney of using the exit of the pipe, netting or funnel. They will not anymore come back. That is why it is essential to leave all these devices in just one place for several days.

Start Cleaning the Fireplace

If you already make it sure that all of the bats have been gone completely, you may now start the idea of cleaning the fireplace. They will realize later on that there are no reasons for them to come back to your chimney. They will also move and look for a place to establish their homes!
