Common questions
What smells keep animals away?
Some strong odors can deter animals, including ammonia and predator urine. However, their effectiveness is often temporary and species-dependent. For lasting relief in North Carolina homes, professional exclusion methods are more reliable than scent deterrents alone.
Is there a fee for calling animal control?
Response fees for animal control services vary by municipality and the nature of the issue. Some services may charge for routine calls or specific types of animal removal. Animal Control Solutions offers a complimentary phone consultation to outline any service costs.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule is generally applied to the acclimatization period for newly adopted pets. It describes stages of adjustment over 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months. This guideline is not typically used for professional wildlife management in North Carolina.
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
To report stray cats, contact your local animal shelter or municipal animal control department. These agencies are responsible for stray intake and animal welfare. For persistent feral cat issues, professional wildlife services may offer guidance or solutions.
