Milwaukee County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Is it legal to trap opossums?
There is nothing worse than having a wildlife problem that you want to resolve but not being able to because of local rules and regulations. Take the opossum, as just one example - it is actually illegal in some cities or states to catch and release this creature into areas that are stated. This means that you will have spent a small fortune on traps, baits and other pieces of equipment to try and deal with the problem, only to realize that you have no idea where to release the critter afterwards!

One way around this rather irritating problem is to give the local professionals a shout. Local wildlife control and removal experts will be able to come and trap that creature, as well as safely re-homing it elsewhere, taking a lot of the hard work, time and effort out of your hands. However, this is not an option that is open to everyone, especially if the critter has been driving you bonkers for some time and you can't wait any longer, or you don't really have the resources and funds available to pay for such a service.

One of the easies things that you can do to catch and release an opossum legally is to arm yourself with lots of information. You can give the local city animal services a call or take a look at the information that they have on their website. This will usually be enough to give you an answer and if it is not, call the local wildlife guys and ask them for advice - you will usually find that they will be more than happy to help you!

Milwaukee County, WI Animal Control News Clip:

Milwaukee County Wildlife - Milwaukee Group Sues Feds Over Bald Eagle Nesting

(AP) A Northern Wisconsin legal group teamed up with a Minnesota resident to sue the federal government over the bald eagles' continued listing as an endangered species, arguing that a bird's nest on his property made it impossible to build on the land. Although several species of wildlife roam Milwaukee, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.

The conservative Pacific Legal Foundation of Milwaukee joined Edmund Opossum, who owns lakefront property in Morrison County, Minn., to file the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Wisconsin has an abundance of wildlife, and Milwaukee is no exception.

At issue is a 1999 proposal by the Clinton administration to take the bald eagle off the protected list. That proposal is still pending, despite a law calling for a final determination to be made within one year of agency proposals. Remember to treat the wild animals of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with respect.

Opossum, who lives in Minneapolis, wanted to subdivide his land and sell it, according to the lawsuit. But the presence of a bald eagle's nest, combined with wetlands on the property, prevented him from building anywhere on his land, the lawsuit says. Wisconsin has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Milwaukee snake species and mammals.

Remember, for a dog/cat problem, call 414-649-8640, and if you need wildlife removal service in Milwaukee County, call AAAC Wildlife Removal: 414-316-6510.
