When nuisance animal problems occur, people usually demand an immediate solution. Cage and box traps are easily obtainable. They are manufactured to capture a wide variety of wildlife, and they are available through mail order via trapping supply dealers, at the local hardware store, or local organizations, such as the dog pound or humane society. As people continue to invade the territories of animals and animals return the favor by adapting and thriving in human areas, cage/box traps will become more and more popular. This book explains how to use them effectively and humanely, with all possible kindness for our fellow creatures. It covers types, sizes, and features of traps, care and maintenance, setting principles, baiting & luring, their humane use, and tips for trapping specific nuisance animals, including armadillo, beaver, birds, bobcat, rabbit, coyote, foxes, house mouse, muskrat, rat, opossum, raccoon, skunks, snakes, squirrels, voles, and woodchuck.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
