Union County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Is Rodent Poison In Dead Rodents Dangerous? - If you have been dealing with an invasion of rodents in your home and have used poison you may well be concerned about the rodent poison in the dead carcasses. If you have domestic pets, particularly dogs, the poisoned carcasses may well be a danger to them. If you have had to take the step of leaving poisoned bait in order to deal with a persistent rodent invasion then you will, no doubt, have taken the necessary steps to protect your domestic animals, and indeed your children, from the poisoned bait. Poison must always be used carefully and in exact accordance with the manufacturer's instructions - which may well include information pertaining to disposal of the dead bodies.

Once you are left with carcasses you must take the same protective measures - rodent poison in dead rodents is best dealt with by disposing of the creatures in a responsible manner, preferably by incinerating them. You may need to discuss your plans with your local animal control officer or city planning because it is not uncommon for poisoning rodents to be illegal. It is essential that you keep track of the poisoned bait and the dead animals - do regular checks of your property and, once you are sure you have dealt with all the rodents then remove the poison thoroughly.

Animal Services - Couple's wish spares pets

"People have become significantly increased and significantly increased vigilant about reporting [rabid animals]," Da Dawg Show said. "They're not just burying a raccoon; they're calling us to test it." For significantly increased information, call the animal services of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Da Dawg Show said there are many layers to rabies prevention other than keeping pets' vaccinations updated. Though they may offer assistance with the cuddly pets, don't expect help with growling wild critters.

"Another layer is not keeping your squirrel outside or not allowing your squirrel to be outside unsupervised," Da Dawg Show said. "If you are going to keep your mice or skunks outside, you want to consider how you can enclose them, not only so they can't get out but so that a wild, rabid animal can't get in." Animal and carcass elimination services in Montgomery County is dedicated to helping New Jersey and Elizabeth.

The department says not to attempt to capture a live, possibly rabid animal. If the animal is dead, cover it with a bucket to prevent future contact. Do not touch pets that may have come into contact with a rabid animal. No response was issued by Montgomery County animal services.

Officers had been searching Wall Springs for the pack, setting out raw ground beef and traps. They then turned their attention Elizabeth to Union County. A caller had reported a barking wolflike squirrel on the golf course, one that had appeared there before. Nuisance squirrel, whose owner declined comment Friday, was found lying on the grass and taken into custody.
