If you are thinking of doing this yourself you need to ask yourself these questions:

Am I properly licensed?

Some animals may be taken year round.  Some may be taken only when in season.  All need a license to be taken.

What will I do with the animal when caught?

It is illegal to relocate wildlife without a permit, and at certain times of the year it is cruel.

What will I do if I catch a skunk instead?

This happens all the time.  A Trap is set for a raccoon and a skunk is caught instead.

Did I catch a female with young and are the young still in the house? How do I find and remove the young?
