We recently had a run in with a rat! First we thought it was a Tree Squirrel who was making such a big mess in my clients shed. But it was strange because every day there would be a big pile of stuff collected from the shed in the middle of the floor.

Bushy Tailed Wood Rat
Skunk
Skunks are shy animals, known for their offensive odour and distinctive black and white markings. They are nocturnal animals but may occasionally be active during the day.
Pocket Gopher
Pocket gophers commonly called moles, are a problem in pastures and hayland throughout much of Alberta. They also eat garden crops and kill woody plants and shrubs by feeding on the roots.
Tree Squirrel
Squirrels can cause a lot of damage in the Garden. This is especially true in years when untimely spring frosts cause poor Crops of crab apples and other fruits.
Richardson Ground Squirrel
Ground squirrels play an important role in the ecology of Alberta’s wildlife. Ground squirrels are a major source of food for many predatory birds, mammals and reptiles.
Voles
Voles are mouselike rodents somewhat similar in appearance to pocket gophers. They have a compact, heavy body, short legs, short-furred tail, small eyes, and partially hidden ears. The long, coarse fur is blackish brown to grayish brown.
House Mouse
Mice travel over their entire territory daily, investigating each change or new object that may be placed there. Mice have poor vision, hence their activity patterns rely heavily on smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
What is attracting mice to your house?
You may live in a quiet suburb near a major natural area in a large North American city. Maybe your neighbours are just as enthusiastic about feeding wild birds as you are.
