Wildlife is something people can enjoy and benefit from every day, but wild animals can sometimes become a nuisance. Visit the Wildlife Conflict Information Hotline Website to find out how to deal with problem wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish & Wildlife, USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, and Purdue Cooperative Extension Service have established a partnership to offer a toll free phone number that provides the public with information on handling nuisance wildlife problems. The Hotline has information on wildlife that covers mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, Indiana Nuisance Wildlife Laws and Regulations, professional Nuisance Wildlife Control Companies (people who capture or remove nuisance animals), and Indiana Wildlife Rehabilitators (people who take care of injured or orphaned wildlife). Wildlife professionals are on hand from 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), to provide expert advice and information on damage management, control techniques and other resources.
