Wildlife Issues
Animals that live in non-living sections of your land and are considered nuisances can be problematic. To urge the animals to move forward on their own, we advise utilizing deterrents. In addition to a directory of private trapping businesses that homeowners can employ to get rid of problematic animals, Wildlife Illinois offers a wealth of excellent information.
It is the landowner's responsibility to remove deceased animals. Never touch a wildlife species with your hands alone. The deceased animal should be placed in a rubbish bag using equipment like gloves and a shovel. Put it outside with your usual garbage removal after double bagging it.
Give the local police department a call if you reside in a town with city limits. You can engage a private wildlife trapper to remove the animal for you if they are unable to help. Wildlife Illinois offers a list of businesses that you may get in touch with.
