Furry critters across the District – with the exception of rats and mice – soon could be getting a reprieve from animal-control specialists who rid homes and properties of wild animals.
The D.C. Council gave tentative approval Tuesday to a bill to impose some of the nation’s strictest standards for how animal- and pest-control companies can remove raccoons, opossums, foxes, snakes and other nuisance animals from lawns, attics and basements.
The bill, sponsored by council member Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3), prohibits wildlife-control operators from using glue, leg-hold, and “body-gripping” or “body-crushing” traps or snares when capturing unwanted animals.
The measure, which the council must vote on a second time, also bans the use of poison to control pigeons and sparrows.
