	The Problem: Shrews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Shrews may be attracted to areas where there is abundant food sources such as when there is an insect or spider infestation, otherwise they will not typically thrive indoors for long periods.
		Shrews live in all types of habitats in Alaska from the rain forests of Southeast to the arctic tundra.
		Shrews are not attracted to the same foods as house mice or voles, so they do not typically cause the same kind of damage as these other pests, however their presence in a dwelling is not usually desired.

	Shrews
		The present North American distribution of the tundra shrew is completely within Beringia, the unglaciated areas of Alaska, Yukon and the District of Mackenzie in the NWT (Youngman 1975).
		With an average length of 85 mm, the pigmy shrew is one of the smallest mammals in the world, and one of the rarer of the American small mammals (Banfield 1974).
		Smaller, slimmer, and greyer than the masked shrew, and with a decidedly shorter tail, certain identification of a pigmy shrew depends on the presence of two tiny and three large unicuspid teeth in the upper jaw.

	Prevention and control of damage caused by shrews
		Shrews are similar to mice except that mice have four toes on their front feet, larger eyes, bicolored fur, and lack an elongated snout.
		Rather than reduce the shrew population outside to prevent this, simply monitor locations regularly used by your cat, and dispose of dead shrews by placing a plastic bag over your hand, picking up the dead animal, turning the bag inside out while holding the shrew, sealing the bag, and discarding it with the garbage.
		To counteract this, a shrew would be walled up in an ash tree (a ‘shrew ash’), and then a twig taken from the tree would be brushed onto the suffering animal to relieve the pain.

		It is similar to the Pribilof Island shrew and the St. Lawrence Island shrew, and the three species probably evolved from a common ancestor.

		The tundra shrew is common, though limited, in distribution in Alaska and extreme northwestern Canada, where it inhabits hillsides and other well-drained areas with dense vegetation.
