Lackawanna County Animal Services: 570-348-4180 x7

Animal ControlThis is the government animal control services operating in Lackawanna County and sponsored by the city of Scranton. 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 570-348-4180 x7 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 Scranton, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.


Scranton Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic: 570-402-0223

RehabberThis 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 Scranton Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.


Pennsylvania Wildlife Commission: 570-675-1144

Game WardenThis is the statewide government wildlife agency in Pennsylvania, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Pennsylvania Fish & Wildlife Agency. Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.


Scranton Police Department: 570-348-4130

PoliceYes, the Scranton 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 Scranton, 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.

    Scranton Wildlife Tip:
    What trap should I set up on my roof -If you're going to trap on the roof, you need to buy a cage trap large enough to accommodate an adult raccoon. There are two ways to attach the trap you your roof. You can attach it directly to the opening the raccoons are using, guiding them into the cage with a funnel of wire mesh. This is often the best way to trap raccoons, especially if they can be scared out of the attic or encouraged to leave the chimney. Sometimes this setup isn't possible and you have to place the trap on the flat part of the roof. The things to remember with this setup are to make sure the trap is level and bolted securely. Place something beneath the trap to protect your shingles from a frantic raccoon's claws and teeth. You will want to bolt the trap as close to the hole the raccoons are using as possible. Part of successful trapping is proper placement. If you want to bait the trap, use bread or marshmallows. Often, the raccoon in the attic or chimney is a mother. If you trap her first, make sure you do a thorough search for the babies so the family can be relocated together.
