What should I do if I have a problem with an animal?

Call and leave a message at the Centre and an EWR volunteer will call you back and offer advice on how to best handle the situation.

  • Prevention is the best solution.
  • Use a chimney guard.
  • Secure all roof and attic vents.
  • Inspect your home for rotting wood or entrance holes and make repairs.
  • Keep garbage in closed, tamper-proof containers.
  • Never leave pet food outside overnight.
  • Keep property well-lit at night.
  • Never leave garage or shed doors open. Fix poorly fitting doors.
  • Reduce potential hiding areas; tall grass, wood piles, rock piles.
  • Block potential denning areas under decks, sheds or steps.
  • Removed ripened fruit from trees. Pick up fallen fruit and vegetables.
  • Clean up spilled food around bird feeders.
  • Place smooth metal wraps around tree trunks to prevent climbing.
  • Inspect trees and shrubs BEFORE trimming. Limit trimming to non-baby seasons.
