Use Humane Traps to Catch Nuisance Wildlife

Birmingham residents who have problems with nuisance wildlife such as opossums, raccoons, woodchucks and other wild animals can use humane traps (sometimes called "live" traps) to secure these animals. These traps are designed to catch the animals without causing them any physical harm.

The trap should be set and baited in such a way that it will only attract nuisance wildlife, not domesticated animals. Placing the trap close to the areas where the animals travel will help with this. Once nuisance wildlife is captured, one of the two private animal control companies, A&D Animal Control (248-693-7966) or Critter Control (734-397-4800) can be called to remove the animal.
