Trusted Insulation Contractors in High Point, NC

No, most city or county officials, including police officers and animal control personnel, are not trained to deal with wildlife animals. Only a licensed professional Wildlife Control Agent has the knowledge and expertise to properly deal with a wildlife animal conflict. Wildlife animals can be dangerous and can carry many diseases that are harmful and pose a threat to an untrained person.

Unless the wildlife animal is causing property damage or has made their way into the home, wildlife control companies cannot remove the animal from the property.

Having a clean yard helps prevent wildlife animals from coming near a home. Lion Defense recommends maintaining good upkeep of your yard to deter wildlife from taking residence. Cleaning up or removing things like piles of leaves, unused stacks of bricks, grass clippings, thick grass, overhanging foliage, large wood piles, or rock piles will help immensely in keeping the yard snake and rodent free. Having bird feeders and leaving dog food outside can attract squirrels and raccoons. Temporarily removing these items can help prevent unwanted wildlife animals from coming near the home. Having regular gutter cleaning services is key to preventing wildlife animal intrusions. Clogged gutters can provide a water source for most critters and will attract squirrels and raccoons to nest in the attic.

Turn off all lights, close all doors and windows except for the one closest to the bird. Windows that are not near the bird should have the curtains extended. This way the bird will be able to guide itself out using the natural outdoor light and the breeze from the closest opening. For homes with an abundance of natural light coming in, open multiple windows where the bird is located and the bird will eventually let itself out as it wants to leave the home as much as you want it to.

Unless the fawn is deceased or injured it is best to leave the fawn alone right where it was found. Mother deer often leave their young behind, in an area that they deem safe, while they go off hunting for food. Afterwards, they return for their young at the same location where the fawn was left. This could take 24 hours or more so give momma some time to get back to her baby before trying to relocate the fawn. If the fawn is moved or touched there is chance that the mother deer will not find her baby or will abandon the fawn due to detecting a human scent. For severely injured deer, contact the NC Wildlife Resources Commission Helpline or the Wildlife Enforcement Division.
