Essex County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Does Rodent Poison Get Rid Of Body As Well? - Getting rid of rodents from your home is never an easy task - it may be time consuming and tedious. If you have taken the decision to use poison in order to eliminate these destructive creatures from your home you may be wondering if rodent poison gets rid of body as well. It does not, once the poison has done its job you will be left with a number of carcasses to dispose of. The manufacturer's instructions may have the necessary information and advice about dealing with any dead rodents and you should be careful to follow those instructions. You may also need to speak with animal control regarding any special requirements your county has regarding the use of poison on wild animals.

It is essential not to just leave the carcasses and assume the rodent poison gets rid of body - leaving a poisoned carcass lying around may pose a threat to other wildlife and even your domestic animals. If possible you should incinerate the poisoned bodies in order to thoroughly dispose of them, and, of course, this is something that should be carried out carefully and responsibly in order to avoid any possible danger to life and property.

"The squirrelfish need a bigger place, a better place," said Coachella resident Lucia Wildlife Management, who was glad to hear the city wants to renovate the old building.
