DESCRIPTION

Wild animals are a natural part of many environments, and with the right strategies, homeowners can coexist with them peacefully. By using humane deterrents and improving property defenses, you can maintain a safe home without harming local species.

SAFE PRACTICES FOR COEXISTENCE
Remove Attractants: Eliminate food, water, and shelter sources near your home.
Use Non-Lethal Deterrents: Try lights, noise-makers, and scent-based repellents.
Build Smart: Install barriers like fencing and chimney caps that don’t trap or harm animals.
Educate the Family: Teach kids and guests not to approach or feed wildlife.

KNOW WHEN TO ACT
Nesting Close to Home: If wildlife settles too close, consult a humane wildlife expert.
Aggression or Disease: If an animal is acting unusually or seems sick, avoid contact and call professionals.
Structural Risk: Animals damaging wiring, insulation, or roofs require prompt action—with care.
