If 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.
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.

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.
