Squirrels are very cute when they live in trees, but can be noisy and destructive inside your house. There are situations, however, that may require intervention.
In this situation, it is probably best just to leave the opossum alone and be glad that it is not a skunk. While an opossum living under your porch might seem unusual to you, they do not usually cause any structural damage and do not pose a serious threat to you or your family. More often than not, a little compassion and tolerance may be the best solution. The Wisconsin Humane Society recommends three humane solutions to most conflicts with wildlife: tolerance, hazing, and exclusion. Despite our best efforts at prevention, the most humane and effective solution to the conflict is one that considers people, property and the animal. It is our responsibility to prevent problems before they begin by keeping our houses under good repair and closing off access points. For instance, if squirrels are living in your attic, it’s not a “squirrel problem,” it’s a “hole-in-your-roof problem”.
It may be helpful to properly identify the reason for the conflict it is actually not an animal problem it is usually a building problem. Raccoons, for example, do not know that the snug hole they are nesting in is a chimney and that we would like to use our fireplace. Occasionally there are situations in which our interests and the interests of our wild friends come into conflict. Wild animals tend to be shy, avoiding human contact, whenever possible.
Most of the time, we coexist with one another without much thought. They were here first and may be here long after we are gone. The City of Milwaukee has over 600,000 human residents, but we are not the only ones who live here millions of wild animals do, also.
