Hello, I am looking to get some advice on how to trap a racoon that continues to come into our home. We have sealed off the cat doors several different times and it continues to come back. We have purchased a have-a-heart trap and used marshmallows, canned wet cat food, canned tuna, etc and it's not working. If there are other things that we could be trying please let me know. Thank you!
Was near 910 S Highland Ave on 5/21/24 around 7:30a while walking my dog and deer came out of nowhere, charged at us and would not back down; came as close as a foot from us. Another dog walker on Maxwell heard the commotion and helped distract it so we were able to get away. Do not feel safe at all walking around the area since I'm guessing there is a fawn nearby.
Numerous exotic and wildlife species being held in a residence. Generally in poor condition with too many rabbits and guinea pigs. Wild animals also being held. Adoptions of exotic animals. Inside structure is unfinished.
Deer would not allow me and my dog to walk north on Stull Ave where I live. Doe kept coming at us no matter what side of the street and had to go along Park Ave in order to avoid her. This is the second time this week that this has happened; first time we did see a fawn on the grassy area of 830 S Stull. I am so frustrated over not feeling safe walking around my neighborhood due to the does this time of year being too assertive and charging at me and my dog. There are too many deer in this urban area and something needs to be done to control the population since it seems like it is going unchecked.
There is a dead skunk that is located outside of 817 W 11th Street. Its body is partially in the road and partially on the sidewalk as if it was trying to climb up it and died. It's been laying there for 2 days and flies have started gathering and of course the smell is awful.

Was walking my dog near 811 S Fess Ave around 12:45p on 5/28/24 when a doe charged at us and would not leave us alone. A gentleman stopped his car since he saw what was happening and assisted in making sure we were able to get away. Assuming a fawn is nearby given the behavior. This keeps happening on a regular basis around Elm Heights and I do not feel safe walking around my own neighborhood due to the deer being too aggressive towards both humans and dogs.

To City of Bloomington, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of myself, my roommates, and our neighbors regarding a growing concern in our neighborhood. Every evening, around 4:00 p.m. and continuing through the night, we experience an influx of hundreds of crows flocking to our street and surrounding area. This results in a significant accumulation of bird droppings on our cars, as well as on nearby properties. The volume of droppings has become so excessive that it poses a risk to residents walking or entering their vehicles, as the droppings frequently land on people and properties. While I understand this may sound unusual, the situation has persisted for over two weeks, and we are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential health implications. The sheer volume of droppings is difficult to understate, and we believe it could lead to further issues if left unaddressed. The attached PDF includes proof of others cars as well as a photo of just one area of trees where the crows sit for hours. We would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on how this matter can be resolved, as we feel it is beginning to impact our quality of life. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. We look forward to your response.
Running loose, always!
