Ants in Minnesota come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are a common insect found outside our homes living in our gardens, landscaping, trees, driveways, and patios. Most homeowners can tolerate ants outside, but when they invade our homes they become pests. Do-it-yourself sprays and baits sometimes help but require a lot of work and persistence - they rarely provide long-term results. Ants are a common sight in the winter inside our homes, particularly homes built on a slab with sub-slab heating systems.
House mice and deer mice are common pests in our Minnesota homes. They live around the exterior of your home where food is plentiful - in gardens, flowerbeds, bird feeders, pet dishes, etc. These mice can invade your home through exceptionally small holes. Once these pests are inside the outer skeleton of your house, they can freely move around using electrical wiring, plumbing lines, gas lines, sewer lines, and many other openings inside the walls. They can also climb wooden siding and stucco quite easily, and are capable of chewing through wood and drywall.
