Franklin County wildlife control Tip of the Month:

How do you remove a wild animal stuck in a dumpster?
The dumpster may be a place where you dispose of your trash but for other creatures, it is an all you can eat buffet. Wild animals are often found scurrying through the dumpster because of the ample number of leftovers in it. Those leftovers can provide for more wild animals than you would like to think. When wild animals casually enter your dumpster for their midnight meal, they can often get stuck in it. Their weight along with the material of the dumpster often makes it challenging for the wild animal to make its way out. This is where you come into play. You can help the wild animal get out of the dumpster as it will benefit you and the animal. It is better to let it out yourself than to face a sneak attack when you go to throw away the garbage next time.

How to get the wild animal out of your dumpster?
To remove a wild animal from a dumpster, the process is very simple. You just need to have a plank of wood or any other board long enough to reach the dumpster but not too wide that it covers the whole area. The plank should be long so that the animal can climb out easily. First and foremost, wear your protective gloves and clothes so that you are safe and secure. Next, put the plank into the dumpster and allow the animal to cling onto it so it can claw its way out. Apart from this, if the animal keeps slipping you can try to use any other material of board and then place it inside the dumpster. It is best if you move a little sideways to allow the wild animal to jump out. Sometimes it may cause injury if the animal feels threatened and gets aggressive. Hence, it is best to ensure your safety as well.

What not to do
When taking the wild animal out of your dumpster, there are a few things you should be very careful about. These things include the following:

1. Do not use poison to kill the animal. It is an inhumane approach and will also create more problems than actually solving it.
2. Do not use any sharp objects to get the animal out. You might hurt the animal and then face legal consequences. If the animal could leave, it would; you trying to scare it away is not going to do any good.

How to keep wild animals away from your dumpster
Getting the wild animal out of your dumpster can be a hectic job. So, it is best to take some steps to try to stop the wild animals from sneaking into your dumpster in the first place. These are very small steps but they can make a huge difference. Firstly, empty your dumpster regularly to avoid buildup. The more food there is, the more smell it emits, attracting wild animals of all kinds. It will reduce animal exposure to a large degree. Secondly, instead of keeping your dumpster outside, try to keep it in a closed place such as your garage. A closed shed will be ideal too because it will make it difficult for the wild animals to come, thus reducing exposure.

In conclusion, a wild animal in your dumpster is not ideal. It is a potentially dangerous situation and should be avoided at all costs. You can take minor steps to try to stop them from coming because that is easier than getting these animals out and risking your health. It is a health hazard so it is better if the situation is prevented in the first place. After all, prevention is better than cure.
