This is the government animal control services operating in Hinds County and sponsored by the city of Jackson. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call (601) 960-1774 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Jackson, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.
This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Jackson Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.
This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Mississippi, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Mississippi Fish & Wildlife Agency. Mississippi game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Mississippi perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.
Yes, the Jackson police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Jackson, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

Jackson Wildlife Tip:
When are baby raccoons most active - While raccoons are nocturnal, babies can be active at any time of day, especially in the dark area of an attic. Most common times of activity are at dawn and dusk, when the mother leaves and returns to the area. You can't, however, determine when the adult is in the attic by the sounds the babies make. If content and full, they will be silent, sleeping with bellies full of milk. The mother might very well be curled with them, and if they are screeching, she might be getting ready to feed. It takes a trained professional to be able to determine the differences in pitch and tone between babies' cries, as some sounds indicate fear, hunger, or playfulness. The fact you are hearing raccoons means you need to take action. Leaving them to their own devices in the house will result in serious building damage and possible health risks. You don't have to kill the raccoons unless local laws demand it, and if that's the case, you are better off hiring a professional who can humanely perform the duty. Very few states allow homeowners to trap raccoons on their own, though many people aren't aware of the law and make the attempt anyway.
