Will the city or county animal services help me with a rodent issue?

City or county animal services take care that area of their authority is kept clean and rodent-free, i.e. to prevent or at least stop rodent infestation before it gets out of hand. This is their duty by the law and they will do their best to follow the law. This in some cases includes contact with home owners even before home owners come forward on their own.



With the mice and raccoons everywhere, they can actually pay a surprise visit to your home. It is inevitable because there are thousands of these mammals and killing them is not an option you can use. The state regulates laws and orders not to exterminate wildlife animals by killing them. Things get messy when you are not allowed to do it but they are ruining your property.

The city animal service may not be helpful when it comes to rodent issue since it is not part of their job to do it. When things get worse, it is time to consider a pest removal service that can act professionally to get rid of these pests. When you hire a pro, they can help you with the things you won’t obtain from the county animal services.

They use less pesticide

Toxin can affect our health. This means that controlling the pest should be done safely without any use of pesticide. The pest issue itself is already a damage – hence, you should not cause more damages to it.

Less fatigue

When removing the hassle out of your house, you need a pro to perform a neat work without being exposed to any illness. It also means that you will have a less space to be cleaned when you deal with pests. Not to mention, the drops, the food scrapes and more. All of the pest related dirt can be swiped away.

Save the money

You can avoid extra cost because the problem has been removed. Rodent animals like mice can be persistent to chemical that is not strong enough. Hence, instead of finding the best method on your own, why not contacting the pro?

The duty of county animal service is to investigate animal cruelties and they also adopt wildlife animals. Hence, they are not responsible to catch the animal at your house. The service provides shelters but not animal removal. Thus, the professional service for animal removal would be the best answer when it comes to getting rid of the mice.
