Georgia is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Canton wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Canton animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Cherokee County Animal Control for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Cherokee County animal control, and see what they have to say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that helps with dog and cat issues only.

Canton Wildlife Tip:
HOW TO TRAP A COYOTE

Coyotes come from the Canidae family which also consist of the domesticated dogs, the wolves, the jackals and also the foxes. This means that they more or less have the same qualities in terms of body structure and feeding habits thereby resulting into the same behaviour when looking for food and also breeding. Though coyotes are not considered to be dangerous to humans, the constant behaviour of sneaking into people's yards and taking vegetables and small animals can become a nuisance. They destroy vegetation if it included subsistence vegetables and they also cause harm to small animals such as chickens and pets such as small cats. People therefore find it necessary to eliminate these coyotes from their property for good. Trapping is the first thing that comes into the mind of a person experiencing Coyote trouble. Trapping is actually among the prime steps in the extraction of coyotes from your property. You need to catch them first. What you do to them once you have them in your custody is up to you. You might kill it, free it in another location or take it to the nearest animal rehabilitation or handling centre for further actions on the animal.

But how do you trap a Coyote? The following are the best practices to follow to effectively trap a coyote.

1. Find out if the region you live in has regulations regarding the trapping of coyotes. This is very important because by contacting the department dealing with conservation, you will be able to know the rules and exceptions that will require you to trap a coyote.

2. Confirm if there was an actual attack by a coyote by checking for droppings where the attacks too place. You should be able to distinguish them from that of a fox or a bobcat.

3. Purchase coyote traps. Traps come in different types and sizes. They can be the lethal ones that kill the coyote instantly of they can be the ones that just trap it. The size depends on the size of the coyote you think is attacking your animals.

4. Figure out where to place the traps. These can be in the places where the attacks occurred. Follow the trails left by the coyote in order to know its actual movements. Set the traps in an open and flat area. The grass at the position should be short.

5. Place the traps.

6. Check the traps every day and repair any that have been altered with. You might not catch the coyote at the first try but they will always be lured into the traps.

7. Once you finally trap the coyote, exterminate it. You can kill it or take it to the nearest animal handling services.

Canton, GA Animal Control News Clip:
Is it legal for me to trap a groundhog?

Despite being a symbol of pop culture, groundhogs can be a nuisance rather than a friendly visitor to your yard or garden. Often, groundhogs burrow under fences and wreak havoc on a nicely landscaped yard, or sneak into a garden and feast on the variety of foods available. Many homeowners would have called a pest control company at this point, in order to get rid of the groundhog for good before it does irreversible damage. However, many people prefer to save money and just trap the groundhog themselves, by using a cage and bait. There are many things to consider with this option.

First, what state do you live in? Research your own state laws on trapping a groundhog, or any wild animal species. Some states, like Massachusetts and Virginia, have a 50-week hunting season for groundhogs, and allow caging and killing a groundhog that is on your property. However, you cannot relocate the animal once you catch it, so killing is the only option. Some states, like Pennsylvania (where Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog that decides if there will be six more weeks of winter, is from) that do not allow the possession or keeping of wild animals, but do allow relocation. So you can't keep Gerry the Groundhog as a pet for your kids, but you don't have to kill either. If you can't find any information online about your state laws, call wildlife game and fisheries department to verify.

Overall, the majority of states allow you to trap groundhogs on your own property, whether it's your own trap or if you're using a pest extermination company. However, there are generally strict rules once you decide to trap a wild animal yourself. First, the trap must be checked and re-baited daily, so you can release any animals that you have caught unintentionally. It is not humane to capture and kill any poor animal that wanders across your property or trap, especially if you live in an area dense with wildlife. After checking the trap daily, once you capture your groundhog, you must also be sure about your state's capture laws.

Sadly, most states require you to humanely kill the animal, and very few allow you to relocate it. Some cage options kill the animal immediately upon trapping, but get a high-rated cage because it is illegal to make an animal suffer once trapped. You don't want to catch a groundhog with a faulty kill-cage, and have to humanely put the animal down to avoid its suffering. Before you fully decide to trap your groundhog, you must be sure that you're aware of the choices, and make sure you're fully capable of a humane kill. If not, call a professional.
