Will animal control take care of the woodchuck that keeps coming to my shed?

Question

Darn thing was eating plastic off a tag on a gangbox I have? What's up with that?

Answer 1

I doubt it. The animal control around here will only deal with domesticated animals. Your best bet would be to call an exterminator. Or you could try to set up a box trap and catch it yourself. Then relocate it to the woods, where it belongs.

Answer 2

Woodchucks are cute. If you don't want them to chew something, then paint it with the hottest chilli sauce you can find. This works for children too.

Answer 3

Probably not. My boyfriend is a former ACO and says that there is only so much that they can do . Usually they only help to that end when an animal is causing danger to you or your family/neighborhood. You can try calling them.

Answer 4

They will probably set up a no-harm trap to catch it, then come back to retrieve it and take it to a more suitable home.
