Most human-wildlife interactions do not escalate to conflict. Learn how to prevent, address, and transform human-wildlife conflicts Report incidents with wildlife directly to the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife here Favorite nesting sites for wild animals include the attic and crawl space under a house When animal nesting or habitation is discovered many excellent solutions to your unwanted occupancy problem exist Unless you remove whatever is attracting it Animal Control Officers do not provide nuisance animal removal service A private pest control service will trap and euthanize the animal since relocating wildlife is illegal in the State of California Trapping and euthanizing is also a short term solution because a new batch of wild animals will move in if the reason for them being there is not changed Wild animals my come to your property for food Securing holes under sheds and decks is recommend Also it is recommended that you not feed domestic animals outdoors The goal is just to keep wild animals from calling your property home, because we’re never get rid of all the wild animals (nor do we want to.) If an animal is ever removed, and improvements to your property are not made, more wild animals will keep coming back. Use of a one way door for example can assist with humane extraction from under sheds and decks If an animal has taken up residence in an attic or crawl space block off all entrances accessible to the animal except one Place a radio near the entrance and play music loudly during the day Place dishes of ammonia-soaked rags near the same spot This should annoy the animal enough to convince it to leave within a day or two Place a piece of cloth (such as an old T-shirt) with your scent near the resting area Nesting mothers are concerned with the safety of their young Anytime you think there are nests of young be sure the mother and her babies have relocated before sealing up all access points or mothers will return and destroy the seal to retrieve their young bring their food and water indoors at night and dropped or discarded fruits and vegetables Secure trash containers with weighted lids or secure the lids with straps or chains attached to the handles To prevent raccoons or other wildlife from digging in your garden sprinkle cayenne pepper around the perimeter Soak rags in ammonia or bleach and place them in bowls or tie them to posts around the garden This should deter uninvited animal visitors from foraging for grubs or insects Some success has been achieved using motion detector lights Secure outdoor fish ponds with a wooden cover or horizontally submerge wire mesh around the circumference of the pond Attach the outside edges of the mesh to the edge of the pond Fish then have the center of the pond to themselves because it provides an unstable surface on which to perch so it's a good idea to keep your pets indoors at night while many wild animals are out you're required to obtain a permit to keep any type of livestock and turkeys within the Palo Alto city limits except in areas zoned for agriculture or open space There are special provisions for keeping more than six chickens If you are having a party and hired a petting zoo that too requires a permit from Animal Control Download a Permit Application(PDF, 323KB) If you are giving up your pet because of a behavior problem Animal shelter staff can offer some tried and true suggestions or refer you to knowledgeable trainers in the area and low-cost dog obedience classes are offered in the area. Please don't leave a pet outside the shelter when we are not open Not only is this very dangerous for the pet The chances of your animal being adopted are significantly better if you provide us with the information we'll ask of you when you surrender the pet Pets In Need will accept surrendered animals at the Animal Shelter (3281 E Bayshore Rd.) during normal business hours Driver's License and/or current utility bill.) There is no charge to surrender your animal. Please bring all medical records and allow time to go over temperament and to fill out a personality profile and sign a surrender form Surrender your animal to Pets In Need Animal Control Officers can come to you (for a fee, listed in the city's municipal fee schedule) to pick up your animal.
