Wyoming Game and Fish work with Metro Animal Services for deceased wildlife removal - Wyoming News Now

CASPER, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - With the arrival of summer, and expected warmer temperatures, folks may find more animals roaming around. This can cause some sick or deceased animals ending up in yards or more populated areas and this may lead to some confusion as to what to do with them.

Brian Olsen who is the Regional Wildlife Supervisor for the Casper area Game and Fish said, "We work hand in hand not only with Metro, but with the Police Department and the Sheriffs Office on these situations that we have inside city limits and around the city of Casper."

The Wyoming Department of Game and Fish can be contacted along with Metro Animal Services or the CPD to help remove carcasses. Game and Fish may also be contacted in order to examine a sick or dying animal to determine whether or not it should be euthanized. They also want to be called in order to better track the spread of some diseases.

Mr. Olsen also said, "I think the biggest discretion that we have here are animals that are already dead in a yard may not be a top priority for us because me may be low staffed. We try to get to those if we can but otherwise we work with Metro, CPD, and the Sheriffs Office on dealing with, not only injured animals, but also animals that are in places where we need to get them to a landfill."

Metro Animal Service and CPD also relayed a statement saying:

"When citizens encounter hurt or diseased wild animals on their property, they can call Metro Animal Services or, if unavailable, the Casper Police Department. Together, these agencies work with Game and Fish to determine an outcome for the animal based on the specific situation."- Rebekah Ladd

The Game and Fish Casper office number can be called if you're in need of assistance and that is (307)472-3401 . Game and Fish dispatchers may be contacted after office hours at (877)953-3847 or (877)-WGDF TIP.

Start fall off by treating the weeds in your yard Fall is the best time for weed control. Perennial broadleaf weeds are transporting food from their foliage to roots to prepare for winter, according to ISU Extension. Broadleaf herbicides applied in the fall will be absorbed by the weed and result in the destruction of those pesky things. Now is also a good time to apply insecticides for grubs and chinch bugs. Effective broadleaf herbicides in Iowa include: 2,4-D MCPP Dicamba Triclopyr The most effective broadleaf herbicide products usually contain a mixture of two or three herbicides. Broadleaf herbicides can be applied as sprays or granules, wrote ISU Extension Horticulturist Richard Jauron.

B.C.’s rodenticide ban could be having unintended consequences: Pest control industry - Global News

British Columbia's new restrictions on the use of certain rodent poisons may be having an unintended side effect, amid reports of growing rat and mouse populations. As of Jan. 31, B.C. permanently banned the sale and use of a class of poisons known as second-generation anti-coagulants, with an exception for certain sectors deemed "essential services," like food production or health-care facilities. The move is an extension of an 18-month ban first implemented in 2021, which followed advocacy by conservationists who said the rodenticides were killing owls, along with some other raptors and predators that eat rats and mice. 4:58 Looking at long-term and cooperative ways to manage the rat population "We were noticing a lot of animals were being secondarily poisoned by rodenticide
