We a complete job, from start to finish. We remove wildlife humanely and effectively, using the proper traps, tools, and techniques for each unique animal and situation. When we encounter animals inside a house, we inspect every part of the house, from ground level to every part of the roof, to identify all the areas of entry, and all vulnerable areas, and we perform professional repairs, with guarantee, to seal entry holes shut. We inspect inside the attic to find any damage or biohazard, and provide full cleaning services. We offer attic decontamination, poison-free and permanent rodent control, bat colony exclusion, bird prevention, snake removal, dead animal removal and odor control, and more.

When our beautiful Minnesota weather begins to change, our wildlife starts to feel the change. They start looking for places they can be gauranteed food and shelter.

About opossum

The opossum is actually one of the members of the largest order of marsupials in the Western Hemisphere. It includes at least 103 species and scientists are not even sure that is all of them now. They originally came from South America but when the two continents joined they rapidly moved north and colonized all of what is today Mexico and the United States. They are still expanding their range into Canada but at this time are generally considered a pest north of the border. The reasons their expansion has been so successful is they have a very unspecialized biology, an extremely flexible diet and they are very fast breeders.

Everyone knows what an opossum looks like, if we haven't seen a living one we have all seen that photograph of the small creature with a white face, black ears, black feet, great fur and what looks like a hairless tail. But photographs are very deceptive because opossums have a few unique features. They are a true marsupial that rare the young in a pouch, the baby crawls from the birth canal to the pouch and latches on to a teat, if it manages to find a teat it lives, if it doesn't it dies. Unlike most other marsupials, which come from Australia, opossums are profuse breeders, females give birth to very large numbers of young but they have only 13 teats so that means only 13 babies can survive. After attaching to it teat the baby remains on the teat for 70 days when they detach from the teat and leave the pouch.

Opossums are mostly solitary and semi-nomadic, they will generally stay in one area as long as food and water are easily available, they are also nocturnal. They have a couple of the other unique things that make them stand out. The first one is that opossums are very resistant to snake venom, some of them seem to be totally immune to the venom of such snakes as rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and pit viper's. The other thing they have which is unique is they are responsible for a term we commonly use, and that is to “play possum”, they are the animal which pretends it's dead when threatened. They try to convince what ever is threatening them that they are either dead, dying or at least a very sick, they do this through various actions including, foaming at the mouth, foul stench which is actually an anal gland secretion, the body becomes very stiff.
