Mississippi is named for the Mississippi River which runs along the state's western border, and even though the river is a namesake, the state does have other large rivers coursing through it. Most of Mississippi is flat, hilly land with heavy forestation, though a portion of the state was cleared decades ago for the booming cotton industry. Summers in the region are long and hot, and winter temperatures are usually well above freezing, though the state has seen its fair share of heavy snowfall. Because it does sit on the coast of the nation, Mississippi feels the occasional wrath of hurricanes coming up the Gulf of Mexico.
Heavily wooded areas and a rolling landscape of hills make Mississippi a perfect place for animals looking for shelter and sustenance from trees. The state has both large and small creatures making the landscape home, including black bears and mountain lions. Bobcats and coyotes make up the middle-level predators, and are followed by foxes, weasels and skunks. Because of the low elevation and extremely warm temperatures, white-tailed deer tend to be the largest grazers in Mississippi.
The warm weather also makes this state a favorite of bats, rats and mice. There are numerous subspecies of rodents, some living near people and some enjoying the privacy of the deep woods.
With most residential areas sitting near trees in Mississippi, nuisance animals are a common occurrence. In addition to the above critters, the region see a number of raccoons, opossums, armadillos, nutria, moles, voles, shrews, river otters, squirrels, and muskrats.
As in many of the consistently warm states, Mississippi has ample wetlands which encourage the habitation of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Alligators populate most of the state, and the Mississippi River, along with the other river systems, is prime locations for these large reptiles. Not only does the state have a large number of the gigantic lizards, it also has a large number of sizeable fish for the alligators to prey on.
Mississippi is the primary aquaculture location for catfish farming, supplying the majority of the United States with the catfish consumed annually. ‘Canoodling' is a term used by natives of Mississippi to describe the method of catching catfish—by using their finger in the water wiggled as bait.

Mississippi Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Mississippi'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 Mississippi 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
