Wildlife Rehabilitation
& Eliminate Use of "Pest Control Devices"
Vermont Volunteer Services for Animals Humane Society (VVSA) works with Vermont Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators to help release wild animals back into their habitat. Raccoons, skunks, possums, fox and an array of wildlife are released into the wild after being equipped to care for themselves.
VVSA lends live traps to relocate animals in need. Remember ~ it's their world, too!
Pest Control businesses in Vermont kill the animal in which they trap, regardless of whether they advertise they catch them humanely. By the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Departments regulations, furbearers must be killed immediately. There are safe, humane, and lifesaving ways in which to deter wildlife from your home. Sealing entry points and elimination of their food source will encourage the animal to move on. For more information, Google Vermont Rehabilitators for more information on a specific species. Never accept killing an animal as the final solution.

"PEST" Control Poisons and Slowly Kills Several Species of Animals
|
Rat poison is used to kill creatures that are lured into bait boxes that are often seen alongside stores and outside of buildings where these animals live. Poisoned creatures are weakened and come out of the poison bait boxes (or their burrows, once poisoned) looking for water. When animals of prey such as owls, hawks, foxes, or even cats and dogs eat these poisoned animals, they too can be poisoned. It can take days for these poisoned animals to die a painful death.
Any animal can be safely relocated without harm. The solution is to keep the area free of debris they might seek out for food, put moth balls or scatter cayenne pepper out to deter them, or, call VVSA at (802) 952-8181 for use of our live traps.
