Dealing with nuisance animal problems
					The key to avoiding nuisance animal problems is to keep them from developing.  Here are some things you can do to prevent sharing your space with unwanted wildlife visitors: Dispose of garbage properly, Keep pets food away from    wildlife Cover up all holes in siding, roof vents, and foundations.   NEVER feed wild raccoons, opossums or deer.(Birds are ok) Use wire mesh to prevent digging dens under steps. Cap chimneys Keep brush or wood piles away from the house Fence off vegetable gardens Remove rock piles that may invite snakes Animals need food, water and a place to shelter and raise young.   If you remove these opportunities, you can maintain a respectable distance between you and wildlife.   Doing this will protect both humans and animals.
