Submitted: Nancy Oakley from the PKS Police Department Guidelines for Minimizing Wildlife Conflicts ALMOST ALL WILDLIFE CONFLICTS ARE RELATED TO ANIMALS ATTRACTED TO HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE, PET FOODS, BIRD FEEDERS, OR GARDEN CROPS. 1. Feed dogs and cats on the inside of the house if possible. If you must feed animals outside, feed them once a day, and after the animal has eaten, remove any excess food and the food bowls. Food bowls should be cleaned after each use. 2. Keep food related garbage in metal garbage cans with tight fitting lids. This is made easier if you separate food related garbage from rubbish such as paper, bottles, cans, etc. If possible, store food related garbage cans in a metal building or enclosed carport until pick up day. If raccoons become a problem, you should utilize lid restraints such as chains, hinge and latch, or bungi cords to hold the lids on the can. 3. If you have bird feeders (seed, suet/peanut butter, or hummingbird), hang the feeders in trees away from your residence and not on porches or decks. If an animal is coming to the feeder, try removing the feeder for two weeks to break the animal's habit. If the animal returns after two weeks, discontinue feeding. 4. Do not pour grease outside. 5. Do not feed bread scraps, fruit or other foods to birds, 6. Clean fruit residue from under fruit bearing trees. 7. Make sure no sink drains empty to the ground surface. 8. Maintain yards in a sanitary condition, do not allow rubbish, wood piles, or old sheds to accumulate on the property. 9. To discourage skunks and raccoons, treat lawn for lawngrubs (white grubs or larvae) in the fall. 10. Check with neighbors to insure they are following the above guidelines.
