The objective of solving wildlife conflict situations humanely is reducing stress and avoiding injury to the animal.
• Removed wildlife are set free to remain in their familiar territory.
• Animals left on-site allows continued access to existing food and
secondary shelter.
• Close monitoring is possible and is vital, especially during the birthing
season to ensure nursing animal mothers have not been separated
from dependent offspring. This minimizes the stress of being put into
an unfamiliar territory, lessens the potential for transmission of
infectious diseases and reduces the conflict between the animal and
its environment (i.e. other wildlife and humans).
• The humane method of hands-on removal follows the directives
issued by Humane Societies and wildlife interest groups. Studies
have shown that 60% of relocated raccoons will die. Furthermore, the
high incidence of self injury suffered by trapped animals is avoided.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE A WILDLIFE PROBLEM?
Should I trap and relocate the animal? Trapping is not an effective method of wildlife control because it doesn't address the problem of the availability of food and shelter. Trapped wildlife can suffer severe self- injury in their attempts to escape and this is more probable as their confinement in the trap is prolonged. Furthermore, relocation of the captured animals adds to the stress of being in an unfamiliar territory, increases the potential for transmission of infectious diseases and increases conflict between the animal and its environment. Trapping and relocation of adult animals (especially during the spring and summer) in many instances separates mother from babies and will result in the death of dependent offspring. In addition, the Ministry of Natural Resources studies show that 60% of relocated raccoons will die. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE WILDLIFE ON YOUR OWN.

How do I shop for a Professional?
The wildlife removal industry is licensed in New York & Massachusetts but
not as of yet in Vermont therefore consumers should be aware of what to look
out for when calling a professional wildlife removal company. Here are a few
tips to keep in mind when hiring a professional to remove wildlife.
• Many companies come and go very quickly with inexperienced employees, make sure they have at least three years
experience.
• Many companies only offer wildlife removal as a part time service or as an add on service to another business they have.
• "Hands-On" removal or eviction should be preferred above any other removal method. Do not hire companies that trap
and relocate.
• Hire companies that offer a guarantee on the entire serviced area and not just the entrance hole.
• Hire companies that offer repair work and preventative measures as part of their service to prevent future conflicts
and cost associated with removal.
