In most cases –NO. If you are faced with a wild Mobile animal infestation, you are on your own. Your
county or city offices will often have the name and number of organizations or professional that
do offer these services. If you discover that you have an animal infestation, your first thought
might be to handle it on your own. Before you decide to take the DIY solution, at least talk to
local organizations to determine laws about relocating, trapping, or killing wild Alabama animals that are
bothering you.
Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse, so make sure you know all the regulations in your area.
Make sure that you have accurately identified the Alabama animal that has moved into your home. This will
determine your course of action. Do you wish to kill or relocate the animal? This has bearing on
what tact you will take as well. Again make sure that your county /city laws allow your course of
action. If you decide to kill the interlopers, what will you do with the bodies? If you live trap
them where will you relocate them too? Sometimes you can cause the Mobile animal to relocate on its own
accord.
Example, a mother Mobile raccoon will move her young if she smells the scent of a male ‘Coon. The males usually
kill babies, so she won't want to stay in the same area as a male. Whether you kill, relocate, or run off
the animals, make sure that you securely seal all openings and take preventative measures to assure it
doesn't happen again. Even though your local government will not help with removal of wild animals, they
are still a wealth of advice and information not only about laws and organizations, but about animals in
the area in general. The will have resources to help you animal proof your home against the local fauna,
and give you tips to stay safe while dealing with wild Alabama animals. Learning to co-exist with nature will
allow you to enjoy animals in the wild without allowing them to move into your home. If they have ample
food, water, and shelter, and your area is kept clean and unattractive to them, they won't look to move
into your home.
