GROUNDHOGS, WOODCHUCKS, ETC.:

     Groundhogs or woodchucks are considered nuisance

     critters as they can dig holes under your home and 

     undermine your homes foundation or the foundation of 

     your banks and roads.

     These animals can be removed at any time.  Trapping of

     groundhogs or woodchucks does require a depredation

     permit.

      

           BEAVER: 

           Beaver are considered nuisance animals as well.  They

           can cause major damage to your ponds and lakes by cutting

           down trees and small sapplings and damming up your

           waterways.  These animals can be removed at any time

           but trapping may require a depredation permit. 

 

      O'POSSUMS: 

      The O'possum being a marsupial is unique in that they have

      not been found to be vectors of rabies.  They can be 

      captured and relocated in accordance with state law.  Their

      waste usually creates a smell that alerts people to their

      presence in homes.  

 

      DEER/BEAR: 

      Deer, Bear, and Wild Turkey are listed as big game species,

      therefore dealing with any of these three species requires

      direct intervention by a North Carolina Wildlife Resource

      Commission Officer.  If hunting is allowed in your area,

      these species can be taken during regular hunting season

      with the proper hunting license.  You can contact your local

      development Home Owner's Association, your local police

      or sheriff's department for local regulations and contact the

      NC Wildlife Resource Commission for more information on

      hunting regulations. Contact us for more information on

      ways to deal with these animals without depredation.  We

      can help!!!
