the animals had crawled Into the shed through a small opening near the door Afraid to attempt to remove them herself she called Newmarkets animal control service the On tario Humane Society In Aurora and the local fire department all to no avail John who runs the control service for Newmarket explained to Mrs that the program he contracts to the town deals only with cat and dogs As a courtesy Mr lends the three tra that he owns to people with skunk or raccoon problems But he had no trap available the night mat Mrs Laumen called and explained to her that it would likely be Monday before one would be available The Humane Society rents traps to homeowners at a cost of plus a deposit that is refunded on return of the trap But because the traps must be picked up and set by the homeowner they

health unit which deals In animal cases only where there has been a rabies threat involving humans has not received calls about the animals So what are the alternatives when a skunk finds Its way onto your property You can borrow a trap from John if he has one available You can rent and set your own through the Humane Society during business hours Or you can chase It out yourself For Laumen the problem has been solved The skunk found its own way out and shes boarded up the opening in her shed WO T NEWMARKET And then theres Walter Pope who cried wolf Monday om Telecare Mr a Queensvllle
