Too Late -- They're Here!

1. If they're already raising young, it's best to wait for the young to leave the den.
2. When you're sure that there are no young or that the young ones are gone, watch the entrance at dusk and block it up after the animals leave for the night.
3. If you can't watch the hole, mount a flap of wood or heavy gauge wire on a hinge over the hole so that the animal can push it out to leave, but can't push it back in to re-enter.
4. Arrange a bright light so it shines into the den during the day, or place a loud playing radio there all day to discourage an animal from sleeping.
5. If the animal persists in remaining, call your local animal control officer.
6. Report any stray domestic or wild animals behaving strangely to your local animal control officer.
