Contact the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for a list of licensed Animal Damage Control agents in your area who can assist with animal removal, damage, damage prevention, and clean up. Be aware that they charge for their services. Your local Division of Natural Resources office can provide guidance regarding nuisance wildlife. They can also provide you with a permit to remove or destroy certain animals, and advice on how to do so, if it is necessary or desirable for you to trap or shoot animals yourself. Federally protected species require additional permits as noted if necessary.
