The Division of Fisheries & Wildlife District offices and the Field Headquarters get a large volume of calls on these animals, and developed these fact sheets as convenient resources for the homeowners and suburb-dwellers who are finding more and more wildlife in their yards and neighborhoods. We find that, in most cases, the information in the fact sheets is more than sufficient to help homeowners better understand the wildlife around them and make informed decisions about the best way to control or discourage these sometimes unwelcome "neighbors."

The DFW website has iindividual download- and printable fact sheets on many of the most common (and sometimes troublesome) wild animals we have in Massachusetts
