Dealing with nuisance animal
problems
The key to avoiding nuisance animal
problems is to keep them from
developing.  Here are some things
you can do to prevent sharing your
space with unwanted wildlife visitors:

  • Dispose of garbage properly,

  • Keep pets food away from   
    wildlife

  • Cover up all holes in siding,
    roof vents, and foundations.  

  • NEVER feed wild raccoons,
    opossums or deer.(Birds are ok)

  • Use wire mesh to prevent
    digging dens under steps.

  • Cap chimneys

  • Keep brush or wood piles away
    from the house

  • Fence off vegetable gardens

  • Remove rock piles that may
    invite snakes

Animals need food, water and a place
to shelter and raise young.  If you
remove these opportunities, you can
maintain a respectable distance
between you and wildlife.  

Doing this will protect both humans
and animals.
The Stone Nature Center wildlife
rehabilitators do not provide nuisance
animal removal.  If you wish to have this
done please consult your phone book's
yellow pages for the numbers of
companies which provide this service.
