In the states of South Carolina and North Carolina, communities and rural home developments are resulting in many residences being placed in the midst of natural wildlife habitats.

It is not at all uncommon for bears, foxes, beavers, deer, groundhogs, a variety of birds, snakes, alligators, and other forms of wildlife to find their way into your backyard or other areas where you work, play, and interact socially.

If this happens, should you attempt to remove the wildlife yourself? In short, the answer is “no”. Continue reading to learn about why wildlife may be found around your home and why it is not advised that the wildlife be moved.

Wildlife Natural Environment

When people set up living communities in natural environments that were once homes for varied wildlife, many situations may occur that draw in the wildlife. These include the integration of feeders, storing garbage in an improper manner, and the natural curiosity of the creatures that are wild.

Furthermore, there is the situation of gardening and planting certain types of vegetation on your property. Animals are attracted to areas where they may obtain food and where water sources are present – such as bird baths, decorative ponds, and even water left outdoors for domestic animals.

Downside of Scare Tactics and Traps

There are several tactics that may be used to deter wildlife. Examples include the placement of fences or barriers, the utilization of scarecrows and pie tins, spraying pepper-based liquid on plants, and similar solutions.

However, most wildlife will – eventually – adapt to these tactics and learn ways to overcome them. This is where live traps come into play.

While these are designed with doors that may be opened in case a pet is accidentally caught, there is the situation of catching something wild that you did not expect to catch – such as a skunk, baby gator, or another creature that could be potentially dangerous.

Additionally, you may find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to kill the animal or animals that you catch through the use of a live trap.

Rabies and Other Problems

Many animals are considered to be rabies vector species. Not only do you put yourself at risk of being ill, you have to figure out what to do with them once caught. You have to know the laws that are in place on handling certain types of animals.

Before Taking Matters into Your Own Hands

You should consider the following if you are interested in removing wildlife yourself:

1. If it becomes necessary, do you have the means and are you prepared to kill the creature?
2. If you do have to kill the creature, do you know what to do with it afterwards?
3. Do you know all of the animal protection laws in your area?
4. Do you know how to bait so that you catch the creature that you want to catch?
5. What will you do if you catch an extremely dangerous animal?
