Nuisance Wildlife

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS RESPOND TO A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING WILDLIFE IN THE COUNTY, TO INCLUDE:

  • Sick or injured wildlife (the wild animal is visibly in distress, struggling to move, stumbling, excessively drooling, or is suffering from apparent physical injuries).
  • Wildlife inside of the living area of a residence
  • Human/domestic animal exposure to wildlife

The Animal Services Bureau does not set county-owned traps for nuisance wildlife, nor do they service personal traps. If you have a nuisance wildlife problem, please call the wildlife conflict hotline at 1 (855) 571-9003.

For further information on wildlife in the area please visit the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.

Each spring and summer, hundreds of thousands of honey bee swarms land on residents' properties and in public spaces. Citizens of the Hive is a nonprofit initiative that helps the public report honey bee swarms at no cost while protecting these pollinators. Email: [email protected] or report a swarm at  www.beeswarmed.org
