Rodents & wildlife cause immense
economic losses in the Upper Midwest:
- Consuming, damaging, and contaminating food and property in your garden, by attacking your trash cans and in your home!
- Damaging homes, by gnawing through wood, aluminum, plastic pipes, and sheetrock and can damage electrical wiring, as well as contaminate your attic and insulation.
One of the main problems with rodent or wildlife infestations is the damage they cause. Just like pests, wild animals are looking for three things: food, water, and shelter. If they think your building can provide those three things, animals will do anything to get inside!
When the weather in the Upper Midwest starts to cool in the late fall, a variety of wildlife may decide that your home seems like a nice place to spend the winter months. They are curious creatures and will often explore new areas in search of food.
