Minnesota is the northernmost state second only to Alaska. It is known as “the land of 10,000 lakes”—and for good reason. There are actually well over 11,000 glacial lakes throughout the landscape. Those 11,000 lakes are joined by over 6,000 streams and rivers. Minnesota has abundant farm land to the south and a large expanse of forest called the North Woods. Over 60 percent of the state's population is condensed into the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, leaving the rest of the state sparsely populated. Minnesota also has over 10 million acres of wetlands, the most of any state except Alaska.
Even though this state has preserved areas of old-growth forests, the majority of the forested land—about one third of the state—is re-growth. Much of Minnesota was logged in its early years, an activity that created so much loss of habitat, common native animals like bison, caribou, elk, and pine martin have dwindled. The new forests are excellent, however, for smaller creatures like raccoons, foxes, bats, skunks, porcupines, and bobcats.
Minnesota has a multitude of squirrels including the flying squirrel, the fox squirrel, the gray squirrel, the red squirrel, and the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (also known as the Minnesota gopher).
The prairie land in the state has its usual mix of creatures. There are plenty of moles, voles, mice, rats, and gophers. Living off these animals as a food supply are animals like the badger. This large, fierce creature lives in an underground burrow which it will violently defend.
Not surprisingly, the abundance of wetlands in this state provides a fantastic ecosystem for many aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Minnesota has a thriving population of beavers, otters, and muskrats. The state is home to hundreds of reptiles and amphibians like blue-spotted salamanders, painted turtles, mudpuppies, prairie skinks, and mink frogs.
With plenty of habitat, the state can easily support larger animals. It has the highest number of timber wolves outside of Alaska. Other large predators, like mountain lions, coyotes, and bears can be spotted all through the state. Their counterparts, the large grazing animals, are moose, elk, bison, and caribou. White-tailed deer are the most populous of the large hooved-animals. They provide an ample supply of food for the timber wolves roaming the countryside.

Minnesota Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Minnesota's landscape and climate make it an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Unfortunately, this can also lead to problems for homeowners as animals seek shelter and food in residential areas.

As the human population continues to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common across the United States. One of the most frustrating and sometimes dangerous issues for homeowners is when animals find their way inside.

One of the most common culprits is the raccoon. These intelligent and adaptable creatures are skilled at finding ways into homes through small openings in roofs, chimneys, or vents. Once inside, they can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

The specific types of wildlife that may invade homes vary depending on the region, but some common culprits in Minnesota include:
  • Opossums: These nocturnal marsupials can squeeze through surprisingly small holes.
  • Squirrels: Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can cause damage to homes and gardens.
  • Bats: Bats may enter through small gaps in the roof or walls, potentially carrying diseases.
  • Rodents: Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny openings and contaminate food.

To prevent wildlife from entering your home, consider the following:
  • Seal up entry points: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in the exterior and seal them with caulk or metal flashing.
  • Install screens: Use screens on windows and vents to deter flying animals.
  • Remove attractants: Keep garbage, pet food, and bird feeders away from your home to avoid attracting wildlife.

If you have a wildlife infestation, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and humanely remove animals from your home and prevent future infestations.
By taking these steps, you can help protect your home and property from wildlife damage while also ensuring the safety of both humans and animals
