Yes, as long as you use a humane trap that does not injure the animal. The City provides traps to citizens for catching stray cats and wild animals such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, etc. To get a trap, you must come to the Bureau of Animal Control and pick up the trap. You will be given instructions for setting the trap, and we will pick up and dispose of any animals that are caught in the trap. Your deposit check is mailed back to you as soon as the trap is returned to animal control.
Some citizens purchase their own traps from local sources.
We also service these traps at no cost to you, by picking up and disposing of any animals caught in these traps. Due to the threat of injury to our personnel, there are some situations involving wild animals that cannot be handled by the city. Some services we cannot provide are climbing into attics, going under structures, climbing trees and disassembling any structures to get to or remove animals. There are several private companies in the area that provide these services, and one or more of these companies should be contacted in these situations. Costs for these services are at the home or property owner's expense.
