Description

Most animal damage caused by small mammals, such as raccoons and skunks, can be prevented. Proper maintenance of buildings, fencing of gardens, and other mechanical restraints will minimize losses to these animals. Removing or destroying garbage dumps, old cars and machinery, old haystacks, dilapidated buildings, and other hiding areas will discourage small mammals and reduce their numbers. If raccoons and skunks are a persistent problem, a live trap can be helpful in catching and removing them.
