Wild Animal Control in Sunnyvale

One of the great things about living in Sunnyvale is seeing the surrounding open space and preserved wilderness on the hills. The beauty of the area is one of the reasons we move here. Many organizations have worked hard to preserve the natural beauty and ecosystems that exist in our part of the county. Unfortunately, living in a close relationship with nature can sometimes mean it becomes too close.

How many residents have had to deal with a family of raccoons in their backyard? Or discovered a skunk in the garage? What do you do if you discover wildlife in Sunnyvale residential areas? This depends on which kind of wildlife. As a fast rule, however, contacting the California Department of Fish and Game can be your first line of defense.

It isn't legal to trap a wild animal in California unless you obtain a permit. If you find you are sharing your Sunnyvale yard with a family of opossums, skunks, or raccoons, don't take matters into your own hands. It is not only dangerous but you may be breaking the law. If you find yourself in a life threatening situation always call 911 first.
