What Types of Rodents Are Found in Minneapolis?

The following are some of the most common rodents you may encounter in or around your Minneapolis home.

Mice

The house mouse is the most common rodent in Minneapolis, often nesting in walls, attics, garages, or sheds. You might also see deer mice in rural yards, fields, and woodlands.

Rat

Rats often burrow near foundations, patios, and sheds. They seek out a wide range of food sources, from human food or pet food in your home to scraps in your garbage.

Vole

Meadow and prairie voles thrive in grasslands, agricultural areas, or lush lawns where they can burrow and eat plant roots.

Squirrel

Ground squirrels prefer open areas and outdoor play areas, but they can attract larger predators and create burrows near outdoor structures like patios and sidewalks.

Fox and gray squirrels are more frequent visitors to homes, preferring attics and chimneys for nesting locations. You might also see flying squirrels and red squirrels.

Chipmunk

Eastern chipmunks dig near patios, foundations, and garden beds for shelter and underground food storage.

Groundhog

Groundhogs, or woodchucks, prefer wooded areas, but they can burrow near structures when it’s time for winter hibernation.

Muskrat

Muskrats are semi-aquatic and prefer ponds, streams, and wetlands. They can be attracted to water features near your home.
