Lancaster County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Are Rodent Repellents Mothballs A Good Method Of Dealing With Rodents? - Rodent invasions of the home are very common - as is witnessed by the wide range of so-called 'fail-safe' and 'guaranteed' remedies there are for getting rid of the pesky critters that can cause so much damage to your home. One of the most popular home remedies for rodent repellents are mothballs. Supposedly, these balls of naphthalene and paradichlorbenzene will not only deter rodents from entering your property, they will also make the ones already there pack up and leave.

This is simply not true, moth balls are no deterrent at all to rodents. The adventurous, curious nature of rodents means that very little will faze them if they are determined to gain access to what are great accommodations. They are quite capable of simply moving an obstacle such as mothball out of the way and simply disregarding the smell. Instead of wasting time, and money, on rodent repellents such as moth balls you will achieve much more satisfactory results by using traps followed by removing the rodents far away from your home, or even killing them. Trapping may be slightly more time consuming than just throwing a few mothballs around the place - but it is the only proven method of permanently clearing your home of rodents.

Animal Services - Lincoln and the Truth about Groundhogs and Opossums or striped skunks

October 27, 2005 Lincoln City Beat article, a poorly negotiated contract by The animal and rodent veterinary specialist for a spay-neuter van "may have robbed the metropolis of Lincoln its needed spay-neuter services" and will endanger animal lives.

The animal campus will service all the valley cities except for two, both have decided to run their own facilities - and will be next door to a 5-acre, no-kill facility the Animal Samaritans of the Desert plans to build.
