Green Bay WI Wildlife Information

Wisconsin Wildlife Commission: 1-800-847-9367

Wisconsin Game WardenIf you have any questions about the wildlife of Green Bay, you can contact the Wisconsin Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Wisconsin Fish & Wildlife Agency. Wisconsin game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Green Bay wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Green Bay like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Green Bay Wildlife Removal at 920-351-4229.


I also have listed several sources for free Green Bay wildlife help. One example, if you've found an injured animal or lost baby bird or other baby animal is the Green Bay Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic: 920-391-3671 Or just read below for more info about the wild animals of Green Bay.

Types of Wildlife and Animal Problems in Green Bay, WI

Wisconsin State bird: American robin
State mammal: Badger
State fish: Muskellunge
State insect: European honeybee

Wisconsin borders Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, and those massive bodies of water give the state a wide range of habitats. Not only does the land have an area of flat plains, it has a variety of sandstone formations in semi-arid locations, and it has hardwood and coniferous forests over approximately 46 percent of the state. No matter what habitat you are wander through in Wisconsin, you are likely to run into a lake or two, as thousands of lakes were created by glaciers during the last ice age.

A state with such a high percentage of forests is home to a variety of woodland creatures. Many of the common animals found in Wisconsin are also the same animals that become nuisance home invaders. The raccoon, which is abundant through the forests in the state, is often opportunistic and will scavenge around homes and often live in attics. Other frequently seen animals include skunks, opossums, foxes, squirrels, rats, mice, voles, moles, mink, porcupines, and weasels.

The thick forests also provide ample coverage for a host of larger animals. The largest of all Wisconsin creatures is the moose. This grazer is followed by the elk and the black bear in size. Wolves, cougars, bobcats, and coyotes are other predators in the state. While reclusive, cougars have been known to become problematic if their food supply is diminished or if humans have spread too far into their territory.

Timber wolves, the species of wolf in Wisconsin, are known to be the most aggressive out of the primary wolf species in the United States. These animals sometimes hunt livestock, though coyotes tend to be more prone to such close-human activity. Another common predator of smaller mammals is the bobcat. This feline is rarely seen by humans, which seems to suit the cat just fine.

With so many bodies of water in the region, semi-aquatic animals have found a home in Wisconsin as well. The state has a thriving population of beavers, muskrats, and otters. These animals keep mainly to themselves, but sometimes their activities on private property can cause problematic flooding.

Even though nuisance animals are common in Wisconsin, removal of wildlife is strictly regulated in the state, and the law is stringently enforced. To avoid hefty fines, homeowners are encouraged to consult a wildlife professional before attempting any home removal of a nuisance animal.

Green Bay Wildlife Tip
The law on trapping opossums
If you have an opossum problem, you are going to want to deal with it, naturally. If you are deciding to deal with the animal problem yourself, you are going to want to be sure of the rules. You will often notice that from state to state, and city to city, the rules and regulations on trapping and releasing wild animals will differ massively, so it is always wise to either consult your local animal services or wildlife organization to make sure that what you are about to do is perfectly legal. At the same time, you could always call a local pest and wildlife control company or expert to fill you in on the rules.

For example, in Washington, it is legal to trap an opossum, and you do not need a special permit in order to do just that. However, if you are using a different trap to live ones, certain permits may be required. The only problem with this is that it is actually ILLEGAL, (in Washington) to release the opossum on a property other than the one that it was captured on, unless a permit has been obtained. This means that you will have to call on the assistance of the local wildlife guys to ensure that you are releasing the critter in a place that it is legal to do.

Your best bet, if you want to trap and release an opossum, is to give the local animal services people a call. They will be more than happy to fill you in on the little details, such as how to legally trap and where to legally release, and you can be sure that you are dealing with the situation in the best and most legal way possible. After all, you don't want to get into trouble all because the opossum annoyed you!
Green Bay, WI Wildlife News Clip:
Keeping critters out: Now's the time to take steps to keep wildlife out of your home this winter

A local wildlife control and wild animal removal pro said there are several products on the market that homeowners can use to reduce the risk of having their home be invaded by animals. Bird guards can be a great solution, The critter capture and wild animal removal pro said, for bathroom and kitchen vents.

Another area of concern can be the PVC pipes from a high efficiency furnace that stick out from the side of a home. Left uncovered, they can be a haven for birds' nests and bees. Small, circular guards called crown vents can be attached to the end so nothing can enter the piping, The critter capture and wild animal removal pro said.

The crown vents can also be used to cap off stack pipes too, he said.

Chimney caps made of stainless steel are a great way to keep raccoons and other animals from getting into your home to nest. However, The critter capture and wild animal removal pro warns that many chimney caps sold at hardware stores are made of milled steel, which will rust and can leave streaks on your chimney, and become useless in a few years time.

If you invest in a chimney cap, he recommends using stainless steel, which won't rust and will probably outlast the house.

Roof vent guards are extremely important, The critter capture and wild animal removal pro said. Roof vents with aluminum and plastic covers do very little to keep animals out. "Raccoons open roof vents like soda cans," he said. "Squirrels will chew right through them. They can make a heck of a mess of power vents."

Steel roof vent guards, which look like a small cage, can be secured over the roof vents to protect them and keep animals out.

Another great product on the market is called copper stuff it, The critter capture and wild animal removal pro said. The pliable copper mesh can be stuffed into just about any construction gap or small opening in a home, and then caulked into place to keep animals out.

"Animals don't like the feel of copper on their teeth," The critter capture and wild animal removal pro said.

He said it works especially well in small gaps on roof lines when used with a silicone caulk that expands and contracts with the changes in the weather. "Copper stuff it is a really good product," he said.

Finally, to fill in very small cracks, expandable foam can work well to keep animals out, The animal control and wild animal removal pro said.
