\"Raccoon\"It’s likely you have had some type of run-in with wildlife\u2014no matter where you live.\u00a0Regardless of the situation, you have essentially three choices when you deal with a wildlife problem. You can ignore the problem and hope it goes away (not the best choice!), fix the problem yourself, or hire someone to fix the problem for you.<\/p>\n

Even if you want to fix things yourself, you may find that the situation warrants professional assistance. Or, you may simply want to hire someone because you don\u2019t have time to deal with the problem, you aren\u2019t sure what is causing the problem, or you are unable or unwilling to do the job yourself. The question then becomes, \u201cWho can help?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wildlife Extension Specialist Brian MacGowan<\/a>‘s new\u00a0publication “Selecting a Nuisance Wildlife Control Professional<\/a>” provides information about nuisance wildlife control professionals, things to consider when deciding whether or not you need to hire a professional, and tips on how to find a professional who is right for you.<\/p>\n
