Hamilton County residents trying to cope with nuisance wildlife will be able to access a broad range of information any time of the day, any day of the year on the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website. It can also be accessed by
clicking here.
The Nuisance Wildlife page provides specific information on the general characteristics, food habits, distribution, reproduction, prevention and control techniques, and disease threats of many species of mammals and birds, as well as general information about snakes.
Because of the large number of raccoons and other species that cause a nuisance for landowners throughout the state, the DNR is unable to provide assistance to actually help remove the animals. The DNR does offer some solutions and advice on how to try to prevent future problems and remove wild animals that have created a problem.
Homeowners may also consider calling a nuisance wild animal control operator on the list provided
here.
